Boss Mitch Brundle branded Dover’s display in their National League South home defeat to in-form Hampton as gutless on Saturday.
Borough skipper Jake Gray struck twice before substitute David Fisher added a third with a late effort. It's now three successive losses for Whites and two 3-0 home defeats in a row. “It was a gutless performance,” said Brundle, without experienced midfielders Jordan Higgs and Lee Martin as they started two-match bans due to picking up an accumulation of yellow cards this season. “It’s just not good enough and not accepted.
We’ve gone from four [successive] clean sheets to conceding nine goals against three teams below us, fighting for their lives. "We just didn’t have enough character.
It was just a gutless performance. "I’m upset for the fans, as well, because we were getting a little gathering back together with our consistency and working hard.
