Hythe Town boss Scott Porter happy with winning formula

by Andrew Gidley
Scott Porter says
commitment and camaraderie are key qualities in helping his Hythe
side maintain their long overdue return to form.
They face Merstham at Reachfields
in Ryman League Division 1 South on Saturday, looking for a fourth
win in a row.
The Reachfields boss
watched Ronnie Dolan’s winner see off plucky bottom side Three
Bridges on Tuesday and said: "I don’t need to change things. We
just need to carry on what we have been doing.
"Having had a dodgy spell like we
have, the game could have been a real banana skin for us. People
would have looked at the table, seen where we both are in the
table, and think we should have won by three or four.
"Ronnie would admit himself he
should score more goals because he gets into good situations and it
was also good to see Dan Eason keep his first clean sheet, which
will do him and the rest of the back four’s confidence a power of
good."
Porter (pictured) believes the
signing of defender Darren Winfield has been a key move.
The twin brother of long-serving
Lee has been playing local Saturday football, unable to make the
step-up due to work commitments but is now ready to make up for
lost time.
He said: "Darren has given us a lot
more shape and organisation, which has definitely helped. He has
come in and made the difference at the back together with Michael
Yianni."
Jake Hobbs (hamstring) and Nick
Barnes (swollen knee) are both still nursing injuries and will miss
Saturday’s game but are expected to return at home against Walton
Casuals the following week.
