Compton - Upturn down to Brooks
Dorchester picked up another point in the bid to beat the Blue Square South drop when they drew 0-0 at Bognor Regis Town on Saturday. And after registering only their fifth clean sheet of the season, the Magpies' assistant-manager paid tribute to the club's director of football following his battle with cancer. Compton said: "It was a good point for us at Bognor, any point away from home is good. With Shaun taking training on a regular basis now I think it's no coincidence that we are getting better results. And it's all credit to Shaun because the proof is in the pudding. "I think the lads were a bit wayward before because they had different people taking training, and with me only being part-time it has been a difficult period. However, we've got that stability back now and we are looking solid at the back. "Patrece Liburd has come in and given us something we've perhaps not had in defence this season, he also lets strikers know they've been in a battle. "Meanwhile, Jake Smeaton and Jamie Cumming have improved a lot and Roy O'Brien and Francisco Ramos have also been doing well so we are building a good understanding at the back." Saturday's stalemate sees the county town side move to within five points of safety after Welling United's defeat at Bromley. With just one defeat in their last five games, Compton is keen to see the Magpies build up a decent points tally this month. He added: "We've picked up four draws from five games and we've set ourselves up nicely now going into two home games so if we can win those it will make these recent draws look much better results. "We perhaps deserved to win against Bognor but we will just keep digging away. All our remaining games this month are winnable and we will go into them with a lot of confidence now. "If at the end of this month we can get the majority of the points available to us then it will give us a great chance going into April."
