Tonbridge eased the pressure on manager Tony Dolby with a comprehensive victory over Ashford Town (Middx). This is one small step on the road to recovery but I suspect that Dolby cannot afford to see his side slip out of the FA Cup on Saturday.

Tonbridge supporters (barring the hard-core) are a fickle bunch and the 281 attendance is a long way down from the 432 that watched the last Tuesday league game against Folkestone, granted Folkestone brought a few more than the six Ashford supporters that stood behind the goal.

Three goals from three different players is something that will please the manager and fans alike. For far too long it has appeared that if Jon Main doesn’t score, neither do Tonbridge. Main did score but not before Tommy Tyne and Fraser Logan had put the Angels in control. Tyne’s goal in particular an absolute corker. Logan was the man of the match giving the opposition defence problems throughout , giving merit to his recall at Ryan Martin’s expense.

So Tony Dolby can breathe slightly easier, but when somebody sang Tony Dolby’s Blue and White Army, the response was “There’s only one person singing“, prove positive that very few have been won over by this one victory.
