Hessenthaler’s words ring true…

Whitstable Town 2 vs Walton Casuals 3: Dover manager Andy Hessenthaler speaking after his table topping side had been held to a draw by a committed Whitstable last week said he worried for Town manager Marc Seager as he would not want to manage a side who played like heroes one week, then villains the next.   'Hess's word had more than as hint of truth even though Whitstable took the lead in what was a very scrappy first half through Danny Tipple after his great run and low shot past visiting keeper Craig Bradshaw in the 35th minute, they still looked second best to the visitors. The Casuals striker Nana Rudu was denied by Town keeper Kevin Fewell who saved with his feet, at the other end Bradshaw used the same tactic too thwart Whitstable’s Ian Pulman. The second half stated much the same until Rudu latched onto a long ball after Whitstable weakly surrendered possession in thier own half, Rudu shrugging off close attention by two of Town’s defenders to finish well in the 50th minute. Ten minute later Rudu scored his second in a move almost a repeat of his first goal again leaving him one-one with Fewell, finishing well. The visitor’s third came as Town again surrendered the ball too easily when attacking; this time Jamal Carr netted after his was allowed too much space to fire in a shot past Fewell. Town rallied late on; new signing defender Liam Quinn looping the ball over Bradshaw to add a little gloss to the score in the 85th minute as they went down 3-2. Whitstable looked upon as a six pointer, so important are theses game becoming as the league enters its second phrase, with Whitstable at the wrong end of the table. WTFC ©
