Folkestone Invicta manager Jay Saunders on 2-0 defeat at Tonbridge Angels in National League South

Jay Saunders felt Folkestone’s defeat at Tonbridge hinged on two chances in the space of two minutes on Tuesday night.

“Reggie Young is a wing-back, left-winger, and he's having to play left-back. So at the moment, things are going that way.
