Nicky Forster doesn’t care if his side’s scoreless run at Crabble ends with the scrappiest goal imaginable, so long as it helps Dover climb up the Blue Square Bet South table.

Whites’ woes at Crabble are well-documented – no win in four this season, back-to-back defeats and no home goal in more than 335 minutes since Barry Cogan scored against Farnborough on the opening day.

However, their fine away form – three straight wins and 10 points from 12 after Saturday’s 2-1 success at Bath – has left Dover seventh and just two points outside the play-off places.

Manager Forster (pictured) said: "We’re sitting seventh in the league and that’s with our home form as it is. I don’t think I need to be that worried. We have had some poor results but the performances have not been that bad.

"I am sure at some stage it will click and the chances will start to go in."

Asked whether he thought it likely the run would end with a goal glut, he said: "It’s more likely that it ends with a 1-0 win from a free-kick which is deflected three or four times, hits someone and rolls agonisingly over the line. You’d take it."
