Nicky Forster frustrated by Dover Athletic's lack of games

Dover Athletic manager Nicky Forster is facing more fixture
frustration over the new few days.
Without a scheduled match last Saturday, Whites are set for
another blank this weekend because the continuing cold weather has
put their away game at Farnborough in serious jeopardy.
And to compound Forster’s problems, the saga of Hampton &
Richmond’s much delayed FA Trophy tie with Northwich Victoria has
yet to be resolved.
The tie was postponed yet again on Tuesday and is now likely to
be re-scheduled for this coming Tuesday, which would mean Whites’
home game with Hampton having to be postponed again.
Forster, who called his squad in for a training session on
Saturday morning, admitted: "After missing out on a game two weeks
ago the last thing we wanted was to have another free weekend last
Saturday, but there’s little you can do in a situation like
this."
And Forster has also run into the familiar problem of trying to
keep everyone in his squad happy, with Harry Baker signing for
Welling United last week after having his contract cancelled by
mutual consent.
The winger came to Crabble in July 2010 and featured in Whites’
memorable FA Cup run last season, but he has mostly featured as a
substitute this season and had become frustrated at his lack of
first-team opportunities.
Forster said: "We have a tight squad at present, but must always
maintain a happy group that are committed to being at Dover, which
Harry clearly wasn’t."
