Tonbridge Angels manager Alan Dunne feels refereeing decisions have cost his side between 12 and 15 points as he hopes for a change of luck
Tonbridge manager Alan Dunne believes incorrect decisions have cost his side between 12 and 15 points this season.
He’s hoping for a change of luck as Angels head to Enfield for their first National League South away game of the new year this Saturday (3pm).
The latest big call to go against them came in last weekend’s 2-2 draw at home to promotion-chasing Dorking, when a clear handball in the closing stages was missed.
“We felt hard done by the other night by a blatant handball which 1,400 people saw other than the four officials,” said Dunne.
“We’ve been really unfortunate with some decisions and I’m thinking that little bit of luck might turn our way where we get away with one here and there.
“At the moment I feel like we’ve been really hard done by and that’s cost us probably 12-15 points in wrong decisions already this season.
“Generally it evens itself out, so I’m hoping it does.”
Tonbridge are 17th in the table, three points clear of the bottom four and seven ahead of second-bottom Enfield.
It’s the next in a series of big games to start 2026, with home games against AFC Totton and Maidstone and trips to Slough and Chelmsford to come before the end of January.
“Every game in this league is winnable and loseable,” said Dunne.
“We have to give Enfield respect, they’re down three fighting and we have to be on our game and we have to be solid. Our away form has been good this year and we have to try and maintain that.
“January’s an important month for us.
“It’s important we keep picking up points. I think any point in this league is a good point.
“We have to keep competing and it’ll come down to margins.”
