Dover Athletic boss Andy Hessenthaler on Kevin Lokko's Crabble return with Farnborough, an injury update on player-assistant manager Mitch Brundle and Arjanit Krasniqi and their win over Slough Town

Former Dover skipper Kevin Lokko is preparing to return to Crabble with Farnborough but Whites manager Andy Hessenthaler hopes to catch him on an off day.

Whites, who beat Slough 3-0 last weekend, host Boro in National League South this Saturday before they complete a run of four successive home league fixtures against Concord next Tuesday.

A four-game unbeaten run has seen Dover move up to 10th.

But they are now preparing to come up against a Farnborough team which hammered Biggleswade Town 7-0 on Saturday to progress to the FA Cup First Round and will visit League 2 Sutton.

“He was excellent for me,” Hessenthaler said. “He was a great lad, I have got a lot of respect for Kevin.

“I gave him the captaincy. He was a big part of us staying up [in the National League in 2018/19].

“It will be good seeing him but, hopefully, he has a bit of an off day!”

Lokko signed for Dover in 2018, making more than 50 appearances, before he left for Football League club Harrogate in the summer of 2020.

The Kent club's latest success saw frontman Chike Kandi score in the first half - his third goal in as many games - before Luke Wanadio and top scorer Alfie Pavey, with a penalty, were on target after the restart.

Hessenthaler reflected: “I thought we started pretty slowly, I’ve got to give Slough some credit.

“They didn’t deserve to go 1-0 down when they did, but we got the goal against the run of play and we made an adjustment at half-time.

“So, overall, on Saturday, we were not at our best but we got a clean sheet, three goals and three points so I can’t complain. In the end, we could have got four or five.

“It keeps that little unbeaten run going. It’s small steps but we are getting better.”
