Tonbridge Angels aiming to halt Dorking Wanderers' 10-match winning streak in National League South

Tonbridge don’t intend to sit back against the league leaders this weekend.

Hosts Dorking are six points clear at the top of National South after winning 10 games in a row.

They’ve been unstoppable in recent weeks but Angels beat them 3-1 at Longmead in September and travel to Meadowbank looking to play their own game.

“Dorking are flying, it’s going to be hard but it’s a game of football and anything can happen,” said manager Steve McKimm.

“We don’t go there worrying about them, we worry about ourselves and how good we can be on the day and what players we’ve got available.

“Obviously you’ve got to stop things at source to a point but we’re going there to try and win a game, so you play your way as well.

“They’re not a team who sit back and we’re not either, contrary to reports from a couple of managers who say we sit back.

“We didn’t do that on Saturday (3-2 defeat by Dartford) and we’re not going to start now.

“We’ll keep playing the way we play.

“Our defensive record is very good (32 goals conceded compared with Dorking’s 33) but we aren’t a team who sit back.

“Our goalscoring record isn’t great and while we haven’t rectified that, we have started to score goals and it’s helped us pick up points in the last few games, with the exception of Dartford.”

Goals from Doug Loft, Tom Parkinson and Ibrahim Olutade secured Angels’ early-season win over Dorking.

Marc White’s side are flying now, boosted by the return of injured players, and appear to be title favourites.

“They were a good side beforehand but now they’ve got their injured players back, bar Jason Prior,” said McKimm.

“Their manager said on Tuesday night (1-0 win v Oxford City) he had five players who couldn’t get in the squad.

“He’s always said when they’re back
