The Dart(s) Board

Massive big up to our supporters not just for yesterday but at every game, hone and away. Some real characters amongst them - getting to know a few of them now. Keep it going lads and lasses. One and all. Our support is the best in the division

A very good win against an in-form Hemel side. There have been one or two moans about loaning out some of our players but it seems to me to have worked perfectly. Hyde and Vint are both quality footballers but the other players in the side were playing well and deservedly holding their place. Surely it was better to have our boys getting match fit in someone else's team rather than vegetating on our bench waiting for their chance. As it was, we brought two lads back into the fold yesterday and they were both up and flying right from the kick off. They both did an excellent job yesterday, particularly Tyrique who was MOTM by a country mile, and now they have a great chance to get a run of matches themselves.

Darts started very brightly yesterday and took a deserved lead. As the first half progressed, Hemel started to gain control and had a lot of success getting around the side of our different system of three at the back. Defensively we didn't look comfortable and 1-1 at half-time was about fair. In the second half Darts started to come to terms with the system and kicked on another level and once we got in front, we even saw a bit of that confident swagger as we started to stroke the ball about again, like in the earlier season matches. Wanadio and Meade doing great work getting up and down the flanks. Tyrique Hyde was excellent, his second goal, that put us 3-1 up, was a peach. Hemel's late goal came just a few seconds before the final whistle so there wasn't time to get nervous. Overall a very decent performance and an excellent result.

Didnt go so thoroughly enjoyed the highlights saw much of the Darts in the first 8 games so hopefully [ especially with Hyde and Jake back] we will now go on another winning run again , Luke Wanadio doing o k as temporary right back but noted Kingys comment on the 1st goal and we really do need a recognised quality right back [Josh Clarke ] to maintain a solid back 4

Does anyone know why Josh Clarke wasn't involved in Saturday's match?. After making his debut against Cockfosters last Tuesday I (and others) assumed that he would be playing against Hemel Hempstead.

Link doesn’t work. Might have to repost. Am assuming because of the re-edit from 3-1 to 3-2?

Same here. Damn! and I was looking forward to that
