Re: Havant & Waterlooville v Dartford Wed 14 Dec 2022

Brilliant result, possibly the best result under Dowse so far.

Thought we had lost our way a little after a couple of patchy matches, but this result puts us back in contact.

Two big games coming up, we will be confident after this result.

Re: Dartford v Weymouth Sat 29 Oct 2022

Good result from a steady performance, we were not great but certainly efficient and ended up with a comfortable win. Some excellent individual performances, thought Charlie was excellent in his hold up play, dropped deep to link play and won pretty much everything against the Weymouth centre backs....

Re: Slough Town v Dartford Tue 25 Oct 2022

Excellent result, unable to attend so listened to the first class commentary.
Looking forward to reading the views of those that went.

Well done to Dowse his coaching team and the players !

Excellent appointment for Gloucester, it also means we will draw Gloucester in the FA Trophy at some stage this season ! ! ! ! !

Re: FA Cup 2nd round qualifying Dartford v Beckenham Town Sat 17 Sep 2022

Very poor result, very poor performance. Club lost out on income. It's a little frustrating as we do seem to be inconsistent, but I do think Dowse has a big job on his hands to turn this around. Congratulations to Beckenham I hope they get a decent draw, first time they have made it to the 3Q round,...

Re: Hemel Hempstead Town v Dartford Mon 29 Aug 2022

Clean sheet, three away points and two goals for Samir, well done to those who were able to attend and support. 6 games in, 3 wins and 3 defeats. I do hope there is a little more of a positive perspective, we are very much work in progress and I do think Dowse will get the balance right on the pitch...

Re: Taunton Town v Dartford Sat 20 Aug 2022

Fair comments from Dowse, perfectly entitled to say it exactly as he see's it, little point in fronting up to a post match interview and giving glib "manager speak" responses.

Re: Taunton Town v Dartford Sat 20 Aug 2022

Going for a DFC victory, will not be an easy game but think we can edge this one by an odd goal, going for a 1 - 2 hard fought win for the Darts, great to hear the team are able to travel the day ahead of the game to aid preparation. It will be another opportunity for team to bond. Hope all that tra...

Re: Dartford v Cheshunt Sat 13 Aug 2022

Tough game to call this one, first goal will be vital particularly with both teams opening with wins in the first day. Think it will be a very cagey game but hoping we get the win.

I would go for a narrow 1 - 0 win for DFC with Davide scoring the winner !

Re: The new season

As always there are several teams that appear to have gone big, in terms of "high profile" signings at our level, H & W and Ebbsfleet to name two. We appear to have gone a slightly different route, with a mix of a couple of experienced players and a few from our academy. I am sure the ...

Re: Pre season friendly - Chatham Town v Dartford Tue 26 July 2022 at 19.45

No doubt there will be a few additions to the squad ahead of the first league fixture, and if required I am sure Dowse has a few players in mind as both permanent or loan players to bring in.

Re: Player news

Looks like a good signing, from memory I seem to recall him have some time at Dorking last year, looks like only one striker slot left to fill.
It's coming together nicely 👌

Re: Pre season friendly - Dartford v Charlton Athletic 9th July 2022 at 3pm

Promising start, the team after 60 minutes was clearly a mixture of academy boys and a couple of trialists I guess.

Difficult to take anything based on the last 30 !

Re: 1st Team Players Meet & Greet

Martin Tyler on the warm up and Charlie Sheringham training with the group, a small (ish) squad training, so I would expect further additions during pre season.

Re: Player news

Brilliant re - signing, personally thought he would have been signed at by a Football league club, he was exceptional for us last season, for me he and Noor were our stand out players.

Really pleased about this one !

Re: Player news

Family comes first every time, he makes this very clear in his interview with Sheppey. Well done could have gone through the motions collecting a wage from the club and done very little for us in his second season, personally think he deserves some credit for being honest and up front with Dowse.

Re: NEW FIRST TEAM MANAGER: ALAN DOWSON

A very sensible appointment it appears on paper, Dowse has managed promtion out of this league with Woking and into the National and subsequently established them at National league level. I would see us us as a similar level and potential as when Dowse took over, in terms of size of club and suppor...

Re: Steve King

Very surprised at this particularly as SK as I understood he was on contract until 2024, I can only speculate that the the board were unhappy with the revolving door policy that must surely have stretched the budget. I am sure there will be several applicant's, and some no doubt will currently be in...

Season 2022 - 23
