Folkestone Invicta boss Andy Drury says players have plenty to play for this season despite three straight away defeats leaving Isthmian Premier play-off hopes all but over

Manager Andy Drury insists there is still plenty for Folkestone’s troops to play for this season.

Invicta’s Isthmian Premier play-off hopes are all but over after a run of three consecutive away defeats.

They have shipped plenty of goals, too, losing 3-2 at in-form Cray Wanderers last weekend - six days after a 5-3 loss at Hashtag United.

“We’re scoring goals and playing some good football at times but, ultimately, in the last two games, we have scored five and conceded eight.

“So, we’ve just not defended well enough.”
