Enfield Town could be up against a familiar face when we host Dorking Wanderers tomorrow evening (ko 745).

Harry Sidwell, who had a loan spell with us last season, recently joined Dorking who are fourth in the table on goal difference but have the same number of points as Worthing and Torquay in second and third.

“We are not turning up on Tuesday with the thoughts in our heads that Dorking are full-time,” said Gavin Macpherson. “I realise there’s a big divide but my side will never just go out to make up the numbers.”

Indeed, we were by far the better team in the first half against Torquay and the focus now is to try and put two good halves together to arrest a worrying slump that has yielded a solitary point from five games.

Ruaridh Donaldson serves the second in a two-match ban and Tosh Gallimore could again be missing but with games coming thick and fast we at least have options on the bench following the arrival of three new players in the last fortnight.

Gavin, who has already addressed the attributes of Corie Andrews and Ruben Bartlett-Antwi,  is looking forward to seeing how defensive midfielder Yacou Traore shapes up having spent the past three years in Middlesbrough’s youth ranks.

“Having seen him in training he’s a tough lad who gets himself round the pitch,” said Gavin. “At Maidenhead we only managed four outfield players on the bench so we needed to give the squad a boost.”
