Whites dropped two vital points after conceding a late equaliser against Harrow, as the bad luck that always seems to hit teams at the bottom of the table continued to haunt us.

Steve Browne picked the same side that was defeated at Eastleigh a few days before, as we finally seem to have a fairly settled side. The return to the Hoverspeed Stadium, after playing eight out of the last nine matches away from home, brought great expectation, and a much needed win was desperately hoped for.

This seemed almost inevitable after Whites made an awesome start, as they began passing the ball around confidently, and caused the Harrow defence numerous problems. The fact that Harrow only arrived at the ground twenty minutes before kick-off probably helped this, but it was an exciting period for the home crowd.

Recent signing Paul Armstrong, making his home debut, was close to breaking the deadlock after only seven minutes. As he went to head in, Jesper Nielsen bravely headed over his crossbar to avert the danger.

The new boy was the biggest threat, and he went close again minutes later. His shot from 18-yards was heading for the top corner, before being deflected behind for another corner. And as Braithwaite swung the corner in, Armstrong got free of his marker to head home unchallenged at the near post.

Whites continued to threaten the Harrow defence, and almost increased their lead after twenty minutes. A great passing move between Carruthers, Cloke and Renner led to the latter prodding the ball towards the corner of the net. Unfortunately, Dean Marney ran back to clear off of the line, and the score remained at 1-0.

With half an hour gone, the visitors began to come back into the game. Fabio Valenti fired a warning shot that tested Dominique Jean-Zepherin, and moments later the equaliser came. Jesper Nielsen belted a free kick from 25-yards underneath the wall, and Jean-Zepherin could only push it onto the post before it squirmed in.

Whites could have re-taken the lead just before the interval though. Wilkins headed on a long throw from Maynard, and Armstrong was just about to prod home when the ball was cleared off his foot for a corner. And although Maynard was forced to clear off the line from Dean Marney, half time came with the scores level.

Harrow came closest to opening the scoring in the second period, as Fabio Valenti's flick at the near post could have caught Jean-Zepherin out, but he was equal to it.

This woke the Whites up, and they began to dominate again. Dean Palmer came closest to scoring, as after a superb run his curling shot went just wide of the post. Then the vital goal came. Renner crossed after a great run down the right wing, and although Carruthers' header was blocked, the ball fell to Nick Grime two yards out, and he headed home.

The goal meant that Harrow brought John Bacon on though, and he terrorised the Whites defence for the final 25 minutes. Ten minutes after his introduction, he was put through one-on-one with Jean-Zepherin, but the French keeper was equal to it.

Sam Vallance was introduced in place of Wilkins to try to shore up the midfield, but the more worrying substitution was when Dean Readings replaced the injured Dean Palmer, one of the best players of the past few weeks.

It still looked as though Whites would hold on for an all-important win, but it wasn't to be. In the fourth minute of injury time, the dangerous John Bacon was left free down the left flank, and he crossed for Harrow captain Dean Marney to slide home.

There was terrible disappointment for the Dover fans within the crowd of 503, as this was clearly two points dropped. However, performances have certainly improved under Steve Browne, and we have to hope that with two home games coming up, wins will arrive. As fans we need to ensure attendance at these games, and give as much support as possible to the side.
