Concord Rangers v Dartford - Tue 2nd Nov 2021 7:45pm K.Off
Re: Concord Rangers v Dartford - Tue 2nd Nov 2021 7:45pm K.Off
Only tuned in to the radio tonight but we didnt seem up to our previous form. I'm sure the home game /crowd will be a big plus for us, so onto Saturday with some fresh ideas. Thank god we aren't spurs otherwise kings head would roll tomorrow
Will look forward to any other comments from those who were there, Is it the final ball or not being clinical finishing?! Or have teams worked out our biggest threat for goals and just outwhitting us?

personally I think it's the latter. In which case we need to mix it up a bit, we have the squad to do that

Concord deserved that: well organised at the back, got behind the ball and hit us on the counter (and would have been more than one goal if it wasn’t for Wilks!). The lads just look like they’re lacking ideas and confidence. Complete lack of urgency at the end as well. Tired legs?
Cross after cross went in the box but I don’t think we won a single header. Ade is great in the air when we hit a team on the break and he’s running into the box, but not when he’s waiting for the cross and a centre back is marking him.
Still hoping this is just a blip! Bring on Saturday at home
P.S. St Albans don’t even play again in the league until the 16th, and Ebbsfleet’s extra games are at the end of the month. I won’t worry about dropping to 3rd just yet. Games in hand for a chasing team mean nothing until points are in the bag (and yes I’d say the same if it were the other way around!)

Just need, somehow, to get back into that winning habit. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the squad of players we’ve got. As practically everyone has agreed on here we have the manager players that are more than capable of winning this league. Yes, winning is a habit - it starts again Saturday! COYD

A freezing cold evening at the arse hole of Canvey Island and they deserved to win, Wilkes made some good saves 2nd half to keep us in the game. Our big players Noor, Azeez and Danny on the wing seem to have lost the magic. Concord did look a solid decent team and we can't seem to buy a goal at the moment. Stating the bleeding obvious we need to start scoring and winning again from Saturday, come on Steve do your stuff.

The confidence seems to have been knocked out of this team post Sudbury . Can’t blame the referee for last nights poor showing , we were sloppy at times in midfield with constant giving the ball away ,and up front we seem to be void of any ideas of how to at least test their goalkeeper; who only had to make one decent save in the ninety minutes . I think we are guilty of overplaying it when in or around the opponents goal ,and are becoming to predictable and easy to defend against . Take nothing away from Concord , they were well organised and did what we were doing to teams earlier on ; quick on the break and no messing when a chance to score was there . But for Dan in goal it could of been a little bit more of a embarrassing scoreline . We know what we are capable of and hopefully this is just a blip in form , like all teams have at one point , so hopefully get back to winning ways on Saturday and start finding that net again ?
Footnote:
The last thing we want see is an idiot jumping onto the pitch shouting and gesticulating at the opposition’s players and then having to be physically dragged back over the barrier by another fan WTF !

This isn’t the first time now. Needs stopping. Whoever you are, this is not the behaviour of a Darts fan. Grow up and stop it. Shout, swear, rant at the ref and the ‘keeper, but keep idiocy away from this lovely club! It might cost us one day. Thank goodness this dick was dragged away by his sensible mate. Allegedly. Didn’t see it.

Due to Covid problems I have had the [ miss] fortune to have NOT watched the Darts since the thrashing of a very poor Welling side , I have only watched highlights so really dont have too many opinions except that we are predictable in every game , a few years ago when we were in the National League [ 2nd season] a Chempionship Coach told us that under Tony Burman you knew exactly what was coming and was easy to set up against and I suspect that Kingy is currently the same
Its now Kingy's biggest test since he has been at the Darts and I hope he gets it right so I can see [ my 1st game back] a really good [ winning] performance on Saturday v Chippenham

No question Concord deserved the win with a well organized defence playing 5 across the back hardly giving us a sniff,
Their keeper was only tested twice in 90 mins, every ball into the box was easily dealt with, there was simply no plan B to change it, the subs were too late & lost count of times we gave the ball away, Concord made us look very average.
I've watched every home & away match and it's obviously evident we are struggling against well organized teams who get many men behind the ball, defend in numbers and close us down quickly. Even listening to the Concord manager he mentioned how Hungerford played against us & he even said we wouldn't have a plan B against he's side last night.
We will face many other side's who will adopt the Hungerford, Sudbury, Chelmsford, Dorking and Concords way to stop us, we must have a plan B in place to combat these teams. What we could do to begin with is the return of Tyrique Hyde with he's attacking runs weaving into the box and just maybe he might have made a difference in some of the recent matches offering something different.

After davedartslast post I watched the Concord Managers post match interview and its great to hear a Manager talk common sense , certainly 3 major points on the tactics we would use which he nullified and exploited and obviously was instrumental in their deserved win , only 1-0 thanks to Dan Wilks

I hardly think that SK is predictable Duke. When we played Maidstone in the Trophy a few seasons ago when he first took over he put out a side that had a few of us scratching our head. He had very little in the way of 'his' players out there but we played them off the park.
I'm up for the Chippenham game Saturday and I'm looking forward to seeing the lads get back to winning ways. Fingers crossed.

On the pitch at the end! We have no divine right to win any game and fans need to accept the result win, lose or draw! Concord defended well and we didn't do enough. No need to chuck your toys out the pram!
Re: Concord Rangers v Dartford - Tue 2nd Nov 2021 7:45pm K.Off
It was ONE fan who climbed over the barrier but he did not go on the pitch and was quickly pulled back.
It was in response to the Concorde players celebrations at the final whistle, really surprised how they conducted themselves but that's down to them.
However that is no excuse.
