Dover Athletic manager Andy Hessenthaler wants side to add more width to their game after change of approach pays off against Hampton & Richmond Borough

Dover boss Andy Hessenthaler doesn’t want this team to become a one-trick pony.

Whites put their focus on delivering crosses into the box and it paid off with a 2-0 win at Hampton last weekend.

It’s more a case of mixing up their play for Hessenthaler, who felt his team haven’t been asking enough questions of opponents from wide areas.

“It’s something we’ve looked at previously and we’ve got to get the best out of the players that we’ve got,” said Hessenthaler.

“We’ve got to work the ball into wide areas. It was a tough pitch at Hampton on Saturday, it was soft and any more rain might have seen the game called off so we had to get it wide anyway.

“We tried to create two-against-one situations with our full-backs pushing on as well. It’s something that we’ve identified.

“You can become a bit predictable, a bit too long at times. We’ve got to get on the ball and play through the thirds or get it wide.

But we’ve got to do more than that and make sure we’re not predictable.”

Jake Goodman headed in an early opener and Luke Wanadio tucked away a penalty at Hampton after another dangerous centre.

“We worked on it during the week, we don’t put enough balls in the box but we’ve got the players who can do that,” added Hessenthaler.

“We’ve got to put more crosses in, that’s what Alfie Pavey deserves. He will want more goals and he should have scored on Saturday, he’ll be the first
