Faversham Town manager Tommy Warrilow on midfielder James Dyer’s early impact, a 2-2 derby draw at Margate, defender Frankie Smith’s recent arrival and a Swale derby at Sittingbourne

“After that, we totally dominated the half. We were attacking and got a couple of chances where we just didn’t get our touches right on a few.

“We deservedly got a goal and just
