Compton's men stop the rot
The Magpies stopped the rot of five straight defeats in Blue Square South thanks to Jon Docker's late equaliser. Club captain Alex Browne, playing as a striker, gave the visitors a half-time lead but that was cancelled out by Lee Roache before Lee Chaffey looked to have won it for City. Docker struck his sixth goal of the season in the 80th minute to ensure a share of the spoils for Dorchester who are now five points adrift of safety. Compton said: "It's a good result for us, a point away from home is always good. We played so well that I didn't recognise the side in comparison to our last few games. "We defended as a unit, a back eight in all honesty, and the players showed great character and passion. They hunted and tackled in pairs and our defending at set-pieces was good. "That type of performance will get us the results we need, it gives us momentum going into the game with Sutton United next Saturday. "Alex went up front because Jones Awuah failed to overcome illness prior to the game so we had to jig the team around before kick-off. To be fair to Alex he caused their defence a lot of problems and got a goal for us. "But then it was the same old story, we were slow picking up and that led to their equaliser and then a mistake allowed their striker a one-on-one chance which he scored. "I brought Jon Docker on and he deservedly got us back on level terms." Former Weymouth keeper Francisco Ramos made his debut for the Magpies after signing on Friday night. Compton was pleased with the display of his new acquisition given Simon Evans looks likely to miss the rest of the season with a knee injury. He added: "Chico is a good communicator and made some good saves for us. He's a confident character and I'm sure he'll do well."
