The Dart(s) Board

Any team taking Cheshunt as a cert is deluded.
I was quite looking forward to the game as it, not only being the first home game of the season, (normally a done thing with me) and against fresh blood in the Division but also under new management. But unfortunately I won't be traveling up in the heat. So will now wait for Tuesday's game against H&W.
I hope the lads get a win Saturday and good luck to them and hope for you all, it's a good game.

All clear now through Crayford

Thanks

Tough game to call this one, first goal will be vital particularly with both teams opening with wins in the first day. Think it will be a very cagey game but hoping we get the win.

I would go for a narrow 1 - 0 win for DFC with Davide scoring the winner !

The heat’s not for everyone (especially sweaty lardsters like myself), but with Cheshunt playing at their highest ever level it wouldn’t be a surprise to see a couple of hundred come to PP today.
I really hope the bars are well staffed and run to their maximum efficiency. Stick some decent fans on for the staff and sort out ready pours for half-time.
Be interesting to see if AD puts out the same side from last weekend (injury aside), will Fonkeu prove to be a stellar signing home and away? Looking forward to it.

Looking forward to today, hopefully the heat doesn't put too many off and we get a good crowd.

On the subject of the weather are we allowed to bring our own water into the ground?

I expect the official line is that it needs to be in an unbroken-sealed bottle, would be extremely draconian to not allow this at least, given the conditions..

Fonkeu is buzzing by the sound of things. Disappointed to let a late goal in but concentration for 90+ minutes in that heat must be pretty hard.
Well done the lads.

Another good result today and another 3pts well done lads, just a shame that ex Dart Dijon Golding scored against us in the 90th minute.

Goldings goal was a bit of a downer but generally I could not be happier wiith the way things are shaping up. I was disappointed when King left but after hearing some of the back story i think it was for the best.After Cheshams crazy first 25 in that heat we looked comfortably a class better.They have a few excellent players like Miles,Re and Beckles Richards but are a good isthmian prem side at best.
Carruthers,Murtagh and coulson were superb and we look to have found a couple of excellent strikers with Pierre getting the headlines at the moment.
I think the biggest difference from last year is how solid we are.We don't look like conceding and attack and defend as a unit.
Next test Havant.
