Harrow Borough v Dover Athletic

DOVER manager Clive Walker, under no illusions about the task facing his relegation-threatened side, has a firm message for his players ahead of Saturday's visit to Harrow Borough.

He stressed: "We have got to beat them - no question about that. I have told the lads that they need to win nine of our last 11 games.

"It’s an enormous ask for any team at any level. But while there’s hope we’ll have a good go at doing it."

Harrow Borough are 15th in the table but have only picked up one point from their last two matches.

They lost 2-1 at Worthing on Saturday and drew 0-0 at Northwood on Tuesday and are in a pack of five clubs who are lying nervously just above the relegation zone.

In contrast, Whites have won three of their last four games in the league, including a dramatic last gasp victory against Salisbury City at the weekend, and have moved off the foot of the table at the expense of Kingstonian.

Whites should have Paul Hyde back in goal after he was ruled out of the Salisbury game by a head injury sustained in training. Shane Hamshare is also available again after serving a one-match ban, but Daniel Braithwaite is suspended.
