By my reckoning we had 10 players in today's squad who weren't with us at the start of the season - discuss.

As long as we finish 3rd then we still have home advantage except for the final UNLESS Dorking get beat and we win then we would have home advantage.

Stop being so negative all the time BAWArmy, you really are becoming such a bore .

Don’t know how we played as wasn’t at the game and look forward to hearing how we got on.
A good point away from home though against a team also in the play off’s and always a tough team to play at their place.
Good to see Ebbsfleet lost again at home as well.

Surly a good result against a team that is in a play off position so got to be pleased with that, at the moment we are in a home semi final place and anything can happen in the play offs

As another stated earlier in this thread, we’ve suffered so many injuries this season.

Weren’t at the game today, but a draw away at Oxford d City - we’ll take that. Only what we do matters not what our noisy neighbours and Dorking are doing. Come on Darts, let’s push for that 3rd spot!!

Oh, and I still believe we’ll beat Maidscum at Easter!

The two bench warmers made it 10 though.

A good result against a good team
3rd position is up for grabs and in play offs anything can happen so let’s just enjoy the ride

Brassneck I'll post my match report later mate.

Was looking at the poll not the starting line up so I stand corrected.

Match report:

https://thedarts.eu/2021-2022/118 vs Ox ... A- 1-1.pdf

I was at the game .
Oxford is always a hard place to go and today was no different, I would have taken a Point before the match , after all we were away at another top team .
BAWArmy if you think think that makes me a Maidstone fan then you are a complete tool !!!

We started off brightly and won a quick penalty which was converted by Dinanga.
Oxford came back strongly and put is under a lot of pressure and deserved their equaliser
Second half both teams cancelled each other out and defences were on top .
The only think the worries me a bit is we seem a little disjointed of late with passes hoping astray far to much but there is still time to get that right .

Up the f*cking Darts

Dinanga scores a Penalty for Dartford after Robinson is brought down v Oxford City

Maybe it was a bit too much to expect a team with so many new and recent additions to gel well enough together to get the result we would have liked

Agree with most of KSTDART's summary of the game, we did start the first half well but then gave away a lot of possession which led to Oxfords equaliser. Second half pretty even but not very entertaining and overall a draw was a fair result. A point at Oxford is not a bad result but we really needed to get a victory to stay in touch with the top two, the gap now looks too big to close in the remaining games but we are around where i thought we'd be so hopefully we can get a few players back from injury and go on a good run to end the season on a high.

MOTM between Reece, Kory and Marcus with Kory just edging it for me.

Didn’t go today first match missed for awhile but got to say Korby Roberts has made me eat my words as he didn’t give me much confidence but the last few games he has been our outstanding player

Disappointing after the boost of an early penalty, but draw was a fair result on the day. Both central defences very strong giving strikers little space to create chances. Danny closely marked and several passes to him overhit, whereas their wingers seemed to have more space allowed by the new full-backs. Fortunately Kory and Tom snuffed out most of their openings, while Reice was confident and assured in goal.

Keiran generally commanding in front of the back four, but Samir disappointed after good reports from last week, and their equaliser came soon after one of his misplaced passes. We had more impetus with Alfa and Kalala coming on, but clear chances were hard to come by. As others said the teams cancelled each other out, and not to lose against fellow play-off contenders, and with further injury disruptions, can't be too bad. Onwards to the next game.

Who played at right back and who partnered Bonner at centre half please?

Olumide Durojaiye played at RB (i think he usually plays midfield but due to injuries filled in there today).
Kory Roberts moved back to Centre Half alongside Captain Tom.

I reckon it was a good point gained at Oxford which we should be pleased with , obviously Maidstone and Dorking on fire and they are making it more likely that we will be in the play offs , mind you that doesn't stop us wanting to give the Stones a seeing too at PP on the 18th April
