Maidstone boss Jay Saunders cools title talk ahead of top-of-the-table Ryman League Division 1 South clash with Dulwich
by Craig Tucker
Maidstone United boss Jay Saunders has rejected suggestions
his side’s top-of-the-table clash at Dulwich Hamlet is a title
decider.
Stones travel to south London on Saturday, leading Hamlet on
goal difference in the Ryman League Division 1 South title
race.
Saunders, pictured, said: "I know people are talking it up
as a title decider but to say whoever wins on Saturday will win the
league is rubbish.
"I know our boys will be treating it as another game and I’m
sure Dulwich will be the same. There’s still a long way to go.
"Everyone expected us to romp the league but just because you’ve
got a new ground doesn’t mean you are going to run away with
it."
Stones beat Dulwich 5-0 in October but Saunders believes that
result will have no bearing on Dulwich’s approach in the return
game.
"Dulwich will be up for the game after what happened at our
place but I don’t think they will set up any differently," he
said.
Alex Flisher (hamstring) misses out while Paul Booth (groin) is
doubtful.
