No surrender
Dorchester are now nine points adrift of Blue Square South survival after losing 1-0 at fellow strugglers Weston-super-Mare on Monday, club captain Browne though isn't one to duck out of a fight. He said: "That result and the results around us were as bad as they could be on Monday. In the first half an hour against Weston I felt they were there for the taking but we didn't step up into second or third gear and fair play to Weston they took their chance when it came their way. "Had we won we would have been three points behind Weston, instead we are now nine points behind them which just shows the magnitude of the game because that is a massive gulf. We will continue to work hard until it's not possible for us to stay up but unfortunately it is completely out of our hands. "It was nice to get the win against Basingstoke on Saturday but we all said that it wouldn't count for anything if we didn't get something at Weston. "We're not going to give up, I'm definitely not and I know Shaun Brooks isn't going to either. I've been critical of the lads before because I want to see the club do well. "It's great that the boys are playing better now but the sad thing is that it seems to be a little bit too late, all we can do is keep going because stranger things have happened." Browne spared a thought for those who have been put through the mill this season - the Dorchester faithful. He added: "Our fans have been fantastic and they were at Weston in their numbers making plenty of noise. They are probably more disappointed than anyone because it is their club, but hopefully they will keep getting behind us." And the Magpies will need that support in their next two home games against Thurrock and Maidenhead United where the county town side know that anything less than six points could spell disaster. Browne said: "If we put our minds to it we can get six points out of those games and give ourselves a chance because I'm sure the teams around us will lose games between now and the end of the season. "If you were a betting man then no points from our next two games would realistically be it for us but we won't go into the games thinking like that, we will be positive and look for two wins." The 34-year-old, whose been limited to substitute appearances of late after sustaining a gash on his forehead last month, is aware that his playing career could be coming to an end but has made no decision on his plans for the next campaign. He added: "I don't know what I'll be doing next season yet. I'm at the wrong end of my career and I have children who I'd like to see more of but at the moment I am giving 100 per cent to Dorchester and trying to keep the club in the league."
