Re: Steve King

Give a young manager a chance Micky Collins did a decent job at Sevenoaks plus also a Dartford legend. Dean, I don’t honestly think Micky Collins would be the right person for the job. As much as he had success with Sevenoaks Town I don’t believe he has the experience for anything higher than that ...

Re: Steve King

Fully expecting an ex player to end up in charge who has minimal coaching experience. Will end up being Coyle/Flanagan 2.0

Re: Steve King

Personally I cannot believe it. Half a season and he gets us to the playoff final when we was close to the relegation places when he took over. First completed season after the disrupted COVID one he once again gets us to playoffs. Something must've happened behind the scenes for this to be the resu...

Re: Season 2022 - 23

Hopefully we get news of our retained list this week, although expecting it will be next week.

I also would like an interview with some updates as we haven't heard from Kingy from a while

Re: News from around the National League South

Dorking and Ebbsfleet gone to extra time Ebbsfleet scoring what looked to be a winner in the 93rd, originally 6 minutes added on however their fans decided to throw a flare on the pitch. Dorking then equalised in the 100th minute. Dorking just scored early on in extra time. That idiot who chucked t...

Re: Dartford v Chippenham Thu 12 May 2022 19:45

Some interesting tweets here from Robinson and Porter. Can't see either of them being here next season if I'm honest, seems they are as confused as we are about some of the team selections. Would be a real shame as Robinson is still a top player and just got unlucky with injuries. Porter has been qu...

Re: Should we go full time if the finances allow?

I personally think so. Not only does it give us the best chance of going up sooner rather than later, whenever that does happen we will be in a much better position to try and sustain ourselves at the next level. Obviously I'm not too clued up on how we're doing financially and financial stability i...

Re: Dartford v Chippenham Thu 12 May 2022 19:45

My opinion is that King should be the one that takes us forward. People need to remember we are going through some form of rebuild where we lost the core of the team that was so successful all within a couple of seasons (Hayes, Noble, Bradbrook etc etc and also lost Burman as manager), and that's no...

Re: Dartford v Chippenham Thu 12 May 2022 19:45

Seriously bad performance that. Tactics were all wrong. Time for King to go. Can always guarantee a failure in the playoffs with him in charge. Give it a rest, his first full season in charge. Yes it's disappointing but we don't want to be chopping and changing managers every season if we don't go ...

Re: Dartford v Chippenham Thu 12 May 2022 19:45

Well that was nothing less than a disaster. So many things to unpack tonight and not many positives unfortunately. I'll try and do it chronologically and sensibly without getting too emotional although I feel extremely let down tonight First half was very poor and that set the tone for the match. No...

Re: Eastbourne v Dartford Sat 7 May 2022

What a performance yesterday. My biggest worry was that we would carry the Braintree performance into it and be going into the playoffs in bad form but that is not what happened at all. MOTM for me was Dan Roberts. Very pleased to see him back after his loan spell and getting time in the first team,...

Re: Dartford v Braintree Town Mon 2 May 2022

I'm honestly shocked after that, it's not often I leave games early and usually applaud the players off but I couldn't justify staying today. When I left Billericay were bailing us out but Ebbsfleet got a goal late on which has completely swung it out of our control, and we only have ourselves to bl...

Re: This may annoy some

I am of the viewpoint that King is definitely the man for the job of taking us up. As has been previously said, he's technically in his 3rd season however its only the first full season he will have completed with his 1st taking over mid way, 2nd was suspended and here we are coming to the end of hi...

Re: Dartford v St Albans City Sat 23 Apr 2022

Unfortunately wasn't able to attend today due to other commitments so any information on how we performed would be appreciated, but great to see we picked up a win. The Ebbsfleet result not going our way but daylight below us now with Oxford dropping points despite a late equaliser. 3 games to go an...

Re: Dartford v Maidstone Mon 18 Apr 2022

After reading the thoughts of everyone here I am surprised that there are a few that, in my opinion, are overreacting Yes we lost the game and yes the performance was below the standard that we expect from a Dartford team however the goal at the start of the season was always playoffs. I had us down...
