Absolutely superb performance today men against boys.
Billericay looked very poor considering where they stood in the table before kick off.
Our sides fitness is exceptional, Billericay looked dead on their feet.
This league is ours to throw away but the way we are playing I can’t see that happening.
As others have said the MOTM could’ve gone to any of our players today but I gave it to George Whitefield, I thought George was superb at fullback winning everything that came his way solid as a rock and chipped in with a goal. Considering George has stepped up from the academy straight into the first team this season he has been brilliant so he gets my vote.

Absolutely bloody wonderful. Best performance of the season so far and against top quality opponents. The whole squad were excellent and we just keep getting better and better. It's so much fun being a Dart at the moment. Well done lads.

Happy days are here again, best performance for a very long time and a very good atmosphere from the crowd. I only hope the players who went off were not badly injured, but the players who replaced them did an excellent job.

There's just no stopping these lads , they are playing so much as a team now. A brilliant performance yesterday.
Re: Dartford v Billericay Town Sat 25 Jan 2025
What a day and what a performance.
We started the game so positively and pressed them back taking a deserved two goal lead early.
Then unfortunately the same thing happened as last week when Samir went off injured and Riccay came back into the game a bit but we never gave them any real opportunities.
Second half we could easily have had more had it not been for some good saves by their keeper and goal line clearances.
We could not have asked for anything more really, a complete all round team performance.
I remember the game earlier this season at Riccay and on the day we were well beaten and i thought they looked a very decent side, well yesterday we completely outplayed them and shows just how far we have come.
MOTM - Jonesey comfortably winning it but you could so easily make a case for virtually anyone it was that good a performance.
Great crowd yesterday and a lot more than i expected, i've not seen PP rocking like that for some time.

As a regular Darts supporter for 60 years I have to say this was one of the most enjoyable matches I've seen (over 1200). The team were brilliant with some great goals and so much skill and effort. I came home with a buzz. Looking back at the results in September and October, it is hard to believe how far the team have come in three months. Huge credit to AP and the team who must have worked hard to achieve this fantastic run of results.
Hopefully the gates will quickly get back over 1,000 and the support will help the team prolong their excellent form. Some tough matches to come but with this momentum and confidence DFC can get to the top. COYD.

A very strong all round team performance yesterday, and as their manager admitted, we were better than Billericay in every department.
Potential MOTM winners from many of the players, and young Bullas in particular impressed, but I had to go with Callum Jones in the end for his 2nd half goal and 2nd half assist which collectively put the result to bed. Their skipper Mat Johnson is a decent defender but having already been booked for fouling Box when he was through on goal, there was no repeat option for Johnson when Callum so cleverly won another of their challenges and flicked the ball on past him. Running through on goal I thought he would have a strike, but he looked up, saw Eddie running into the box and what a sublime cross that was to set up the goal. Top quality.

You cannot heap too much praise on the team at the moment what ever position you look at we are performing and every player is working for each other.
One of the best games for a long while with four goals and could have been more but for the unfortunate weak headers a yard out and some good saves from their keeper.
Well done to all manager players fans a great tribute to the club and lets keep up the good work until seasons

I must admit I was hoping we could manage a draw to continue our run of scores, but wow what a stunning performance from the lads. I did vote for Callum as MoM but could have picked any player TBH. Probably the best result we have had since we turned Ebbsfleet over twice in a week before they got promoted.
Keep going lads

I remember back in the early eighties going to see a Dartford v Waterlooville game at Watling Street. Waterlooville were runaway leaders, but the Darts had a enough games in hand- almost too many- to close the gap if they won them all. It was set for a huge battle.
In the event, the Darts turned in a magnificent performance, and blasted their way to a 6-1 win. Saturday felt a lot like that. There's a lot if football to play, but we are the form team now, and the spirit in the squad must be fantastic. Long may it continue.

Any news on the injuries to Olly & Samir ?
Re: Dartford v Billericay Town Sat 25 Jan 2025
Wow, what a performance.
From the kick off we ran straight through the middle at them and said we’re coming for you for 90 minutes, and we did.
Apart from a little spell in the latter part of the first half where they played some nice passing football we dominated them for most of the game.
Power, pace, energy, attitude and of course quality.
Back four organised and immense. We defended space well as a whole unit.
Midfield, energy, quality and brilliant decision making.
Attack, swarming all over them not letting them breath.
Even at 3 and 4 we were relentless and not letting up the pounding Ricky were taking from us.
Most complete performance I’ve seen in a long time.
I love this team I love these players and AP is doing brilliant.
Excellent recruitment, brilliant tactics with the positive go for them attitude on the pitch.
I keep saying no one will want to come to PP if the crowd is up (and in) and the team responds.
Don’t wanna get too carried away , there will be bumps to come. But we stick together and we can achieve.
I want the title of course but don’t forget how crucial 2nd will be if we don’t win it.
Just bloody brilliant,
Mom could of been so many but to give it to just one player would have to be jones
