Re: Dartford Players of The Past

I remember Luke well as he came to us on loan from Dagenham & R in his early 20s and became a colossus at centre half in the season we won promotion to the NLP and he then went on to play many games in the EFL In my time at the Darts he's definitely the best centre back I have seen although Tom ...

Re: FA Trophy 3rd round - Saturday December 18th

Obviously we need to respect them but they were 2-0 up in 1st half against an Ebbsfleet side incl at least 5 squad players who brought the big guns on 2nd half and got the draw , a decent draw as we could have got Maidstones draw + Maidenhead away or Tonbridge = Torquay at home so NOT to disappointe...

Re: FA Trophy Second Round Proper - Bath City v Dartford Sat 27 Nov 2021

Looks like we played 3 5 2 yesterday with 2 wing backs pushing on , I personally like 4 3 3 with my faves as follows :

Wilkes
Clarke Hill Bonner Meade
Husin Murtagh Hyde
Leonard Azeeze Robinson

I accept that other squad players have a strong case , just my view NOT meant as a criticism !!!!!!

Re: Dartford Players of The Past

I see that Duane got a hat trick for Sittingbourne yesterday as he is only on loan there we may well see him later in the season when [IF] he is then still at Hungerford He was a friendly, approachable guy when at the Darts but soured it with me when we sorted his knee out and then he b,,,ered of to...

Re: Dartford v Whitstable Kent Cup Final 2019/20 - Wednesday 24 November 2021

Enjoyed the game , we played really well and looks like we are back to the early season quick pass,/move play that is so effective Big plusses were Jake Robinson doing what he does best , could have been more as he is in space in the box but the crosses are not finding him AND Tyrique Hyde , I am so...

Re: Hemel Hempstead v Dartford Sat 20 Nov 2021

Didnt go so thoroughly enjoyed the highlights saw much of the Darts in the first 8 games so hopefully [ especially with Hyde and Jake back] we will now go on another winning run again , Luke Wanadio doing o k as temporary right back but noted Kingys comment on the 1st goal and we really do need a re...

Re: London Senior Cup 2nd Round - Dartford v Cockfosters FC Tuesday 16th November

Agree it was a very good work out for the Darts and full marks to Cockfosters who tried hard and didn't resort to kicking lumps out of us like Newham tried too , I like Tyrique Hyde and great to see him back also Jake Robinson oozes class and I lost count of the times that he was in space within 10 ...

Re: Dartford v Oxford City Sat 13 Nov 2021

Oxford are a very good side and with NOT our best starting 11 the lads gave 100% and we were well worth a draw Obviously some testing weeks ahead for kingy but I'll bet this is NOT the 1st time he has faced this situation ?

Re: Dartford v Oxford City Sat 13 Nov 2021

Totally agree , play Murtagh and 1 out of Husin and Jebb[ I prefer Husin] in centre midfield , get some pace on left midfield [ Kedman , give him a run of games as he is good enough ] ] along with Leonard on the right , use space on wings [ round a crowded defence] , get the balls into the box , get...

Re: Dartford v Chippenham Sat 6 Nov 2021

Woeful as 2 of the goals we gave away[ blind] passes in our last 3rd and centre backs went missing for 1st goal and Husin asleep for the last one , bet Kingy wasnt pleased about that !!!! However after 1st 30 mins more like the Darts of earlier in season so encouraging for the Oxford game and the fu...

Re: The New Scoreboard and Clock

I think it is to do with the time added as it [ say] 5 minutes minimum and can be affected by referees interpretaion of what happens during the extra time eg Substitutions , time wasting , injury etc , so imagine fans reaction IF the extra time went up to say 7 minutes I dont see it as a "big d...

very accurate and fair posts on the game but H T F could Luke [ much as I like him ] get MOTM Madness !!!!!!!!!!!!!
