Boss Andy Hessenthaler had Dover’s players in for extra training on Sunday after conceding they were not good enough in their defeat at Eastbourne Borough.
Whites have won two of their opening seven National League South fixtures. Against Eastbourne on Saturday, Luke Wanadio equalised after ex-Gillingham man Chris Whelpdale had scored for the hosts.
But Jake Hutchinson restored Eastbourne’s lead and the Colchester loanee netted again at the start of the second half. “We were not good enough - it’s as simple as that,” said Hessenthaler. “There’s no hiding away from it. “We had a good spell when we were 1-0 down and scored a very good goal.
But it’s criminal defending for the first goal after a couple of minutes, then we get back into the game and score, but we conceded straight after we scored.
