Forbes not giving up on survival hopes
Dorchester's game with Maidenhead United was called off with just four minutes to go while relegation rivals Welling United and St Albans City both picked up wins, leaving the county town side eight points adrift of safety. The Magpies' tricky winger though, has not given up on survival in Blue Square South. He said: "We are all confident. I believe we can stay up and if we keep working as hard as we have in our last few games then we have a good chance. "We only look at what we are doing and what we have to do, which is to win games. If we can win most of the games we have left then we will put ourselves in a great position. "At Bognor Regis the week before we could have nicked the win and I'll admit I missed some chances to score. We just need to keep our heads up, continue to work hard and improve our home form." The Portuguese forward came on as substitute midway through the second half on Saturday, at which point the Jewson Stadium pitch had a battering from the persistent rain. Forbes added: "The heavy pitch made it very difficult to play. I thought I was through at one point but with the state of the pitch you could never tell where the ball would stop. "I couldn't believe the conditions when I was sat on the bench but when you get on you just have to deal with it. I enjoyed it although it's an experience I'm not used to. "Within a minute of coming on I slid in for a tackle and went straight into a pool of water. I came up and there was mud and water all over me so it was a new experience. The game being replayed is good for us because we need to win matches. Playing in better conditions will help us play better football as well, anything could have happened in the last few minutes against Maidenhead."
