Dover Athletic manager Andy Hessenthaler says Blue Square South holds no fear for his side

Dover manager Andy Hessenthaler already
believes his side have nothing to fear after just four matches in
the Blue Square South.
Monday night’s 1-1 draw at Chelmsford City
extended Whites’ unbeaten start and Hessenthaler, pictured, said:
“We are four games unbeaten despite playing in a higher level and
from what I have seen so far, we have got nothing to fear.
“The pace of the game is a little bit quicker
but I expected that, and although it won’t be so easy for us to win
games like it has been for the past couple of seasons, the squad we
have got now will make us competitive in this league.
“If we can keep our momentum going for the next
half a dozen games, so that we are still up there after the opening
10 matches, then there’s every chance we will stay right up there
challenging for the title.”
The Whites looked on course for another three
points after Olly Schulz - in his first appearance of the
season - headed home a first-half corner but Chelmsford
equalised from Dave Rainford's penalty after Lee Hook was
adjudged to have fouled Ricky Holmes.
This Saturday Dover are at home to
Weston-super-Mare, who are in the bottom three after a 1-1 draw
with Woking on Tuesday.
Striker Frannie Collin, who came on as a
substitute at Chelmsford after missing two games with an ankle
injury, should be in contention for a starting spot if he suffers
no reaction.
