The Dover Road boss rued the attitude his troops displayed against the Wessex League premier division side.

‘We looked a bit leggy and gave the ball away far too easily,’ said Carter.

‘There was a poor attitude out there because we were playing against a team playing a level below us.

‘We wanted too many touches on the ball and got caught.

‘Sometimes it is good to have a game like that to get it out of your system.

Duncan Culley and Joe Briggs scored the visitors’ goals.
