Poor Mummy is feeling the pinch!!

£15. I’ll sub ya!

Come on the lads.

another new signing, Olu Durojaiye (spelt incorrectly on the team sheet, as is Carruthers - come on guys.......)

Seems like he's been released from Welling or chose to depart under the new management, their fans weren't too happy to see him go and is another midfielder so hopefully is what we need in the final push.

Sounds like we're struggling here, going to be more dropped away points if this carries on. Doesn't sound like we've had a clear cut chance yet

Just seen Maidstone and Dorking both drawing as things stand, we need to take maximum points here

Had 3 very good chances according to my insider at the match! Plus, we have had the bulk of the play. Still, plenty to play for as St Albans have pulled it back at M@!d$£one.

Not according to the Hampton commentary, seems like Dartford fans near the commentary position are getting frustrated. Still 30 or so to go so can hopefully nick one.

1 nil Dinanga.

Right on cue..

Subs:- Azez & Kalala for Robinson & Leonard.

Sub:- Dorojaiye for Carruthers.

FT 1 nil.

Big win for us.

Strange comments from one of the idiots on the Hampton commentary, constantly digging out a Darts fan infront of him when he was commenting on the play, then said he celebrated like it was a cup final. Clearly they don't know what it's like to be in the position we are.

Maidstone have scored in the 97th though.

Well done team. Typical as I had to turn back after being stuck on A1M near Stevenage for over an hour due to bad accident, then diverted off with not enough time left to make it worthwhile - and had bought ticket in advance! Pity there was no commentary, but able to follow Twitter updates, so thanks for that.

Looks like Maidstone have grabbed a last minute use winner sending them clear at the top

Hard game to watch certainly not a classic but the win was all that mattered.
Man of the match Marcus put in a good shift and scored the winner.

Up the Darts.

Such a solid display we defended well from 1 to 11...dont think they forced one save from dan. Lovely goal from Marcus...mom for me Jake Robinson always looking to put people in.
Ps always liked their no8 Sam deadfield..managed a quick word at the end when he was talking to a spectator. Just said come to dartford sam to which he grinned and said yes!

He is Dinanga’s goal

Pity about the lack of commentary, and I didn't manage to find any link to the H&R commentary either, but delighted to get the points even with a single goal - it's the result that counts at the end of the day at this stage of the season and we seemed to come close to scoring on several occasions according to the Twitter updates.

Most results went our way, and just a pity Maidstone scored a winner in the 97th min of their match, so the Maidstone game certainly now takes on the status of a six pointer when we meet. Some strange scores today, more referring to the Wrexham (my son and grandaughters team) being 1-4 down at home to Douvres, before recovering to win 6-5!!!, but nice to see Ebbsfleet and Dorking sharing the spoils.

To be honest, there have been times when we haven't put the opposition to the sword and taken all 3 points and helped to improve our goal difference too, with the exception of Welling, who have been poor anyway.

Sadly, Maidstone seem to have the luck on their side in recent games, including today's 97th min winner, so the advantage is with them at present, which means our Easter Monday game is definitely one we have to now win, as well as the remaining upcoming games.

With no commentary, I have absolutely no idea how the game went, until the regulars report back and I read the match report in tomorrow's NLP. But nevertheless, well done to the Darts on winning three very important points today. Now keep it up. Congratulations, and well done to the travelling fans too. A happy return journey home. Look forward to the comments and match interview.
