Alan Dunne will use a pre-match meal at a hotel to prepare his Tonbridge players for tonight’s National League South game at Bath.
Angels make the long trip to Twerton Park on the back of a 1-0 home defeat by unbeaten league leaders Hornchurch on Saturday.
Boss Dunne hasn’t seen his squad since then, so the time at a hotel will be important to get his message across.
It worked to good effect before a 1-1 draw at Maidenhead at the end of last month and again last week as Angels won 2-1 at Maidstone.
“The games we’ve done well in are where I’ll get a hotel and have a pre-match with the boys,” said Dunne.
“We did it at Maidenhead, we did it at Maidstone, and the club have booked a hotel for Bath for a pre-match and I’ll get a room for analysis with the boys.

They’re 16th in the table, a point clear of Bath, who are 17th.

“Saturday, I felt like we deserved a point and probably had the better chances, it was just a mistake on our part rather than a team breaking us down.
“I’m pleased with the efforts and pleased with the tactical side, it’s just some of the players make mistakes because you might only have one
