Sittingbourne manager Nick Davis thinks it's only a matter of time before the club's attacking players start regularly banging in the goals

Nick Davis reckons it’s only a matter of time before Sittingbourne’s attacking players start regularly banging in the goals.

The Brickies have collected eight points from six Isthmian South East fixtures after drawing 0-0 with Chatham at the weekend.

They have, however, only scored six goals in those games. But recently-signed midfielder Kieron McCann, wingers Jason Banton and Alex Addai and striker Bagasan Graham have plenty of higher-league experience between them.

“These forward players have done it at higher leagues,” said Sittingbourne manager Davis.

“I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before they start producing goals at this level.”

Another recent arrival, striker Mario Quiassaca, had a decent debut, forcing a couple of good saves from Chatham keeper Ben Bridle-Card.

“He’s a threat. He’s a livewire, for sure,” said Davis.

“We have certainly missed that. His work-rate was immense.

“Hopefully it’s only a matter of time before he starts scoring for us.”

Two of Sittingbourne’s league goals have been scored by right-back Donvieve Jones, who found the net again against Chatham only to be denied by the offside flag, and Davis is delighted to see Jones chipping in, too.

He said: “I speak to James Collins [in charge of Bowers having worked with Jones at Faversham] a lot and he says he only got one goal for him over two years.

“He sort of said ‘Can I get in the box and join in’ and he’s been exceptional for us, really. He hit the bar against Burgess Hill as well [as scoring a late equaliser].

“He wants to score, he has the desire to get on the end of things, and it’s working. Long may that continue but we can’t rely on a defender to score our goals.”

Sittingbourne have only played one club outside of Kent in their first
