Re: Dartford v Aveley - Tue 27 Feb 2024

How did we throw that away. We had worked hard all evening and were well worth our lead before we switched off and left as player unmarked. All the hard work wasted in a moment and then worse was to come. Sadly, shirt pulling by the Aveley full back was not seen, but the mad challenge by our keeper ...

Re: Dartford v Taunton Town Sat 24 Feb 2024

Dreadful game from all three teams involved. Our best two players were the last two to join the match and both sparked some life into a game that offered hardly any for eighty minutes. Beginning to think that this season could go down to the wire.

Re: Bath City v Dartford Sat 10 Feb 2024

Really disappointed with the news about Chin. He gave us pace and direction and was often our player of the match. Strange that he should move on when we had expected him back once fit. Also disappopinted to lose the Bromley stricker just as we appoint a manager that is likely to use him in his best...

Re: Dartford v Weymouth Sat 27 Jan 2024

What a disappointing match between two very poor sides. The goal deserved a decent match to be wrapped around it, but it was not to be. We started brightly and were denied a great opportunity by the ref blowing for a foul by the keeper outside the box rather than playing advantage. The keeper was on...

Re: Alan Dowson sacked

I am sad that the Board have felt it necessary to take this action, but I believe it to be the right action and for the best reasons. Dowse came to us with a good reputation and, for whatever reason, his approach has just not worked out this season. Not only have results been disappointing, but the ...

Re: Weston-super-Mare v Dartford Sat 6 Jan 2024

I assume that the pitch has already been deemed suitable if played upon today and any inspection tomorrow will only determine if matters have become worse overnight. If that is not the case, one has to wonder why.

Good luck to anybody who ventues deep down into the south west tomorrow.

Re: Dartford v Welling Utd Sat 30 Dec 2023

With 2000 people in the ground, today was a chance for football at our level to show what it has to offer. I fear very few of the floating spectators that came along today will return. Two very poor sides and an even worse match official. The only positive that I can see is that this has closed out ...

Please start my Boxing Day off on a happy note by telling me that Mr. Chin has an extended loan period. We so need his energy on the pitch.

Re: Dartford v St Albans City Sat 23 Dec 2023

Two very poor teams playing out an awful match. Those that went shopping probably had a more enjoyable time. Why were we playing the most likely scorer wide on the left wing with the selected striker isolated throughout the match? Why did we take off Chin, our most illustrious player? Why do we alwa...

Re: Dartford v Yeovil Town Sat 9th Dec 2023

I thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment on offer today. Yeovil were a quality act and they knew how to boss the man in the middle. For all their quality passing and wealth of possession they did not score in open play, although they should have. They were very quick to go to ground, especially in and...

Re: Dartford v Torquay Utd Sat 25 Nov 2023

My first game for a while. What has all the moaning been about? I watched a strong, vibrant team performance with pace up front and total commitment from the guys at the back, putting themselves on the line when opponents lined up shots. Our visitors were poor in front of goal, they should have scor...

Re: Dartford v Braintree Town Tue 21 Nov 2023

I do not recall a season when we have been awarded so many red cards. Not even Tony Pamphlett racked up this many. The suspensions are bad enough, but playing a man short for so many minutes will only make it easier for our opponents. We do not appear to understand how the refs are looking at challe...
