Re: London Senior Cup Semi Final - Hendon v Dartford Tue 23 Apr 2024

I have no idea who’ll be playing tonight, but I have a feeling it might be mostly youngsters, and it might make people jump to conclusions. Out-of-contract players are taking a risk by playing, as Ady implied in his last interview. Get injured and they won’t be signing a contract with anyone until t...

Re: Dartford v Truro City Sat 20 Apr 2024

In my opinion the first player Pennock needs to sign is the Captain. Whoever that may be. I understand why some wouldn’t want Coulson to stay - he’s not a leader. And I personally think he’s too one footed (always cuts in on his right). Nevertheless I’d be happy to keep him if he wants to stay. But ...

That's the nub of our whole dilemma - the season finishes at the end of April - most of our squad gave up at Christmas.......
Christmas 2022?

Re: Dartford v Truro City Sat 20 Apr 2024

I think you mean Ollie Box rather than Ollie Bray. Bray did ok when he came on but he’s Aldershot’s player and hasn’t shown enough to suggest we should go for him. The keeper (Byrne) is a Leyton Orient player. It’d be nice if we could sign him but there’s more chance of my hair growing back. I’d kee...

Re: Yeovil Town v Dartford Sat 13 Apr 2024

Our prospects for next season will become more apparent in the summer, but really the planning starts now. And it starts from the top. We will now see what THE BOARD is REALLY made of. Rightly or wrongly, some fans have questioned the club’s ambition to reach the National League. I don’t think there...

Re: Dartford v Eastbourne Borough Mon 1 Apr 2024

It was a strange feeling this afternoon. I should be angry, ranting and raving or drunk. Even both by now. But for 99 minutes I just felt heavily sedated. Indifferent due to being not in the least bit surprised by what I was witnessing. To be honest I think many of us have known the writing has bee...

Re: Dartford v Eastbourne Borough Mon 1 Apr 2024

How much abuse will I get for this post I wonder. How anyone can have an ounce of positivity left in them after what I saw today I don't know. That could have been 5-0 we got lucky it was only 2. Absolutely woeful. Never looked like scoring and MOST of the players simply do not care and aren't good...

Re: Dartford v Maidstone Utd Sat 16 Mar 2024

We don’t score enough goals, do we. Of course, the defence makes mistakes and has a tendency to switch off. But to win games we basically have to keep clean sheets. Because we’re not going to score more than one goal in a game. In the past we had players to score enough to keep the Wolf from the doo...

Whatever problems we face and everyone has their opinions let’s all come together for 90 mins and back these boys. Roar them on with all our heart. It’s not beyond impossible that we could get a result, if we don’t let’s discuss it after, but for 90 mins our sole focus is supporting the team as bes...

Re: Torquay Utd v Dartford Sat 9 Mar 2024

In my opinion, although the Board needs to take its share of responsibility, our current predicament is mostly down to Alan Dowson building a sub-standard squad. Relegation to the Isthmian…there’s no quick way back. Clubs on a downer don’t do well. It could take years. I don't think Yeovil fans wil...

Re: New Manager.

Makes me laugh and sigh in equal measure when someone has a point of view that is different to everyone else and they get ganged up on and told they’re not fans. Dear me. Bullies rule, eh? Oh no, not this old chestnut again. Usually it takes the form of saying "oh you can't say anything on her...

Re: Dartford v Chippenham Town Tue 13 Feb 2024

Am i alone in thinking that Shomotun looked easy to play against? Let him go down the line because he has no right foot, and ensure that when he cuts inside there’s always an opponent in the way? He barely beat his man all night yet won man of the match. And he was our only outlet.

Re: Dartford v Chippenham Town Tue 13 Feb 2024

The first-half performance, let’s not get carried away, was good enough to have won a game against mediocre opponents, but we couldn’t do that. The 2nd half was shocking. The reaction, or lack of, to going a goal behind defines our season. It has relegation written all over it. We can’t beat anyone....

Re: Bath City v Dartford Sat 10 Feb 2024

The previous charlatan has left us with a squad that is woefully inadequate. Plenty of effort, but a severe lack of quality as well as quantity. The three players who improved us are no longer with us, and one even played against us today, to rub salt into the wounds. TB has a big job. Who would wan...
