WEYMOUTH manager David Oldfield refused to get carried away after the Terras’ 2-1 win at Dover, admitting the victory was tinged with “frustration”.

Oldfield’s relegated side ensured they ended the Vanarama National League season on a high thanks to Tom Blair’s 95th-minute winner.

However, it was not that simple for the Terras despite taking the lead through Brandon Goodship’s tenth-minute penalty, before Dover boss Andy Hessenthaler was sent off for dissent.

Weymouth came under severe pressure in the second half as Dover hit the woodwork four times and equalised through substitute Stuart Nelson with 15 minutes to go.

But a red card for George Wilkinson, given for hauling down Blair in the box, handed Weymouth a dramatic late penalty.

Up stepped Blair who saw his spot-kick saved by Alexis Andre Jr before the former Dorchester Town winger tucked home the rebound.

Oldfield feels he could not fully celebrate his second win in 23 games in charge, given the Terras had won after being relegated.

“I have to be honest, I’m not jumping up and down over the victory,” he told Echosport.

“It feels frustrating that we’ve won but haven’t done well enough in the past. Dover had their opportunities and on other days we could’ve lost the game.

“It’s clear that we have a lot of work to do and a lot of progress to make. Having said that, the players did work hard and represented the club well.

“We did manage to finish on a victory and that’s very important for the fans and all of us. We’re feeling very fortunate for that.”

Oldfield felt the decision to award the first spot-kick, for a foul on Haji Mnoga, was correct.

“I haven’t seen the penalty back but it looked a penalty,” he said.

“Haji just got to the ball first and the defender, inadvertently I would guess, kicked him – for want of a better phrase. That was a penalty and Brandon took it well.

“We did lots of good things in the first half. We kept the ball well. We have a tendency sometimes to have extra passes when we don’t need to and we’re a work in progress on that.

“Second half, we surrendered the momentum a little bit. Physically, it’s an issue for us and we need to make sure we get better at that.

“We rode our luck a bit and managed to come forward towards the end and we had opportunities on the counter that we didn’t manage to do well enough on.

“We managed to keep persevering and come up with a goal in the end.”

Weymouth survived Dover hitting the woodwork four times in 26 second-half minutes, leading Oldfield to rue the Terras’ luck earlier in the season.

He said: “We were fortunate in the second half not to concede. It’s a little bit exasperating that they hit the post and the ball’s gone out.

“Whereas, in previous games, when we needed some intervention on the fortune side we haven’t had it.

“It’s our responsibility to defend better in those areas but there’s no question we rode our luck.

“It was compounded by the goal we did concede. From the first sight, it was nothing less than scandalous.

“We have to mark our men much better. To concede in that way sums up our season.

“But the boys resisted the other attempts, came forward and managed to get the winner.”

Oldfield also felt the second penalty was justified, adding: “It looked like it probably was, they pulled (Blair) down.

“I didn’t see it clearly but the keeper’s made the save – I was probably too scared to look – but Tom’s scored the rebound. It was a big moment for us.”

Oldfield also confirmed goalkeeper Tommy Scott was given his debut due to Ross Fitzsimons nursing a hip injury.
