*BS*With a quarter of the Vanarama Conference played, Dover Athletic welcome Aldershot Town to Crabble on Tuesday night as they attempt to secure back-to-back victories for the first time this season.*BF*

Loanee Ricky Miller bagged his third goal in six appearances in the 1-0 victory over Alfreton Town last Saturday. It’s a win that lifts Whites out of the drop zone and above Alfreton on goal difference.

Miller and midfielder Solomon Taiwo are set to return to Luton Town after the game with Aldershot, as their initial one month loan deals at Crabble will expire at the end of the month.

The win last Saturday also marks Dover’s first clean sheet of the season.

Goalkeeper Mitch Walker will be unavailable for at least another eight weeks with a hand injury that he picked up on September 16 against Dartford.

Winger Ricky Modeste is still unavailable for selection after an ankle injury he picked up against Eastleigh on August 23.

Italian winger Christian Nanetti made just his second start of the season against Alfreton and he will be hoping to keep his place in the starting XI. He has made nine appearances as a substitute so far this season.

Andy Scott’s Aldershot Town made the long trip north to Gateshead last Saturday and managed to come away with a 1-1 draw which puts them in 14th in the table.

The Hampshire club nearly came away with all three points, but Gateshead’s Danny Wright scored a late equaliser which meant the Shots had to settle for one point.

Scott’s squad travelled 600 miles round trip to Gateshead last Saturday, and will have an extra 100 to make it to Crabble on Tuesday.

Striker Josh Scott suffered a groin injury in their win over Lincoln on September 20 and didn’t feature against Gateshead. However he could be fit enough to play against Dover. Scott scored 23 goals in 112 games for Dagenham.

Club captain Chris Barker has missed the last seven games with a calf injury and is unlikely to be fit on Tuesday night.

Midfielder Mark Molesley is also unlikely to make the squad for Aldershot against Dover. He has had tendinitis problems and had missed the last five games. Molesley has made four appearances for the England C team.

Former England Under 18 International Tristan Plummer may feature for the Shots on Tuesday night. He has been suffering from hamstring issues this month.

Aldershot have won four, drawn four and lost four so far this campaign and have managed to score one goal in each of their last four games.

The Shots have won four and drawn two in the six games that they have scored first this season, however in the six games that they have conceded first, they have lost four and drawn two.

Both Dover and Aldershot have only won once away from home this season, both defeating AFC Telford United.

Despite only picking up one victory, the visitors to Crabble on Tuesday have only conceded five goals on their travels so far this season.

Brett Williams was the Conference third top scorer last season with 24 league goals to his name, and he has already notched six goals so far this campaign, including a brace against Grimsby in August.

Dover have picked up more points in September than the Shots who have managed five, while Dover have achieved six points.

The two clubs have met just twice before, both in the F.A Cup. The first time was in October 2000 where Whites lost 1-0 at the Recreation Ground in the fourth qualifying round.

Most Whites fans will remember the last time the two teams met, where Adam Birchall scored twice in a 2-0 win over the Shots in the F.A Cup 2010/2011 season. The win meant Dover reached the F.A Cup third round for the first time in their history.

Last season, the Shots finished in 19th position with 51 points. Had all of last seasons bottom four clubs been relegated, Aldershot would have survived on goal difference.

In the 2012-2013 season, the Shots were relegated from League two finishing bottom of the league and suffered various financial difficulties towards the end of that season.

However they had four successful seasons in fourth tier of English football prior to relegation, even managing to make the play-offs in the 2009-2010 campaign.

Whites are scheduled to travel too the newly named Electric Services Stadium on January 24.

The match on Tuesday night will not be segregated.

*BS*Dover Athletic will be looking to secure their first win in four games on Saturday as they host an Alfreton Town side who have taken 10 points from a possible 12.*BF*

*Link1*, with Aaron Downes’ third goal of the season and an own goal from Connor Essam enough for the Gulls to win their sixth consecutive game.

Luton Town loanee Ricky Miller had Dover’s best chance with the game at 1-0. He rounded the keeper but put his effort over the crossbar.

Goalkeeper Mitch Walker missed his first league game for almost two years after an injury he picked up during Dover’s 2-1 defeat at Dartford. He will be on the sidelines for a suspected four weeks with a hand injury.

*Lpic1*Walker’s injury opens the door for new singing Andrew Rafferty, who is expected to keep his place in goal for Whites after making his debut against Torquay.

Ricky Modeste remains unavailable for at least another two weeks with an ankle injury he picked up against Eastleigh on August 23.

Midfielder Solomon Taiwo is hoping to be fit enough to make the squad on Saturday. He last featured on September 10 against Barnet.

Matthew Saunders made his debut coming off the bench during Dover’s defeat to Torquay. He will be looking to get more game time under his belt after moving from Whitehawk last week.

Left back Tom Wynter will be available for selection on Saturday after overcoming injury and availability issues. He has made six appearances so far this season for Whites.

Nicky Law’s Alfreton Town (also known as the Reds) currently sit 18th in the Vanarama Conference, and despite losing their first seven games, they have won their last three against Southport, Telford and Nuneaton.

Law was suspended from the dugout for the first six matches of the season due to an incident last campaign. Since his return, the Reds have only lost one game, which was against Barnet finishing 2-1.

Summer signing Nathan Hicks will miss the game with a shoulder injury he picked up at the begining of this month against Altrincham.

Experienced defender Duane Courtney, 29, has had a toe injury but may be back in time to face Dover. He last featured on August 25 during the 7-0 humiliation to Grimsby Town.

Last week, the Reds extended the loan deal of Sheffield United striker Joe Ironside for a further two months.

Ironside is Alfreton’s top scorer so far this campaign with four goals to his name, including three goals in his last four games.

*Lpic2*Young goalkeeper Cameron Dawson, 19, will be staying with Alfreton a further two months after his loan deal was extended from Sheffield Wednesday.

Dawson has played eight games for the Reds so far this season and has kept two clean sheets. He is expected to start in goal for the visitors to Crabble on Saturday.

Left sided midfielder David Mellor is on a one month loan deal from League one side Oldham Athletic and is due to keep his place in the starting XI. He is a former Manchester United youth team player and has made 46 appearances for Oldham, scoring once on his debut.

Mellor scored the only goal of the game in their most recent win against Nuneaton Town during his second appearance for the club.

Only bottom placed AFC Telford United have conceded more goals than the Reds so far this season. Telford have shipped 30 goals while Alfreton have let in 25.

The Derbyshire club were on the wrong end of the heaviest defeat in the Vanarama Conference to date, which was a 7-0 drubbing against Grimsby town at the end of August.

Last seasons top scorer John Akinde, 24, netted 18 times for the Reds last season, but he moved to Barnet on a two-year deal during the summer.

Alfreton achieved promotion in the 2010-2011 Conference north finishing as champions. They have been ever present in the Conference Premier since.

Last season, the Reds finished in eleventh position, 10 points behind a play-off position.

A win for Dover at the weekend will move Whites onto 10 points, and will see Kinnear’s men out of the relegation zone and onto the same amount of points as Alfreton.

This fixture will be the first time the two clubs have ever met. Whites travel to the Impact Arena on Saturday 15 November.

The match will not be segregated.

The club will be hoping to see lots of supporters turn out for the match on Saturday, but those who cannot make it to Crabble, please follow *Link2* on twitter for regular updates during the game.

*BS*Dover Athletic fell to their fourth consecutive Vanarama Conference Premier defeat at the hands of Torquay United but it could have been a different story had Ricky Miller not missed an open goal for Whites.*BF*

Aaron Downes headed the hosts in front before Connor Essam turned into his own net to give the high-flying Gulls their sixth victory on the bounce.

But just ten minutes before Torquay’s second goal, Miller spurned a golden opportunity for Dover after superbly rounding keeper Martin Rice but sidefooted his effort over with an empty net at mercy.

The defeat sees Whites – who were well supported by the excellent 96 away fans who made the 600-mile round trip to the Launa Windows Stadium – fall to 23rd in the latest league standings.
