Hundreds in separate queues for match day or season ticket holders. Could/should have bought online ticket in advance to save a 110 mile round trip, bit didn't occur to me, nor did I see any suggestions it would be a sellout.
Heard crowd roar for their early goal, but cheered up a bit on drive home with goal updates on BBC Kent.
Well done to those who got in and who mùst have enjoyed the win.

I got lucky, very nice woman in front of me had a spare and gave it to me.

I got to the ground at around 2.45 and got in at 3.20. There was still a queue after me and that was made easier because a lot of people gave up waiting and left. The stewards waited until all the ticket holders had entered the ground before letting those who wanted to pay have access to the turnstiles. Madness 😠

A really scrappy game that looked like it was heading for a draw until an excellent header from Sheringham won us the three points.

A goal and an assist for Samir, who ran the show in the second half after being moved to a more central position. Player of the season is already his to lose.

Dowson made a good decision to bring Wall on at half time. Rodari didn’t have a bad game but the extra physicality from Wall made a difference.

3000+ in attendance, but unless you are right at the front or in the main stand it’s impossible to get a view of the pitch. As a result the atmosphere was pretty flat throughout. Nice beers and food, but not a good place to watch football.

Sympathies to all those who had to battle the unbelievably traffic today.
On supporter's coach, left PP 12pm arrived at ground about 2pm.
We said the journey home should be better, but alas it was not.
Left Dulwich H 5.20 got back in Dartford about 8pm
As we said though, at least we were travelling back with 3 points.
Well done our team.

As others have commented, a very noisy crowd didn't do any favours for the commentary team, through no fault of theirs. Towards the end of the game after we had taken the lead, I also lost Internet connection at home, so lost the last few minutes of commentary, but thanks guys. Sounded like a bit of a non de script game with neither side taking a grip of the game - much like a derby game can be. Surprised the attendance was as high as 3334 and more disappointed for our guys like TrevorB, 5th and BrianL having wasted journies due to traffic.

Still. A bit of magic from Charlie to earn us the 3 points is very welcome and continues our run. So we'll done Darts for keeping at it and will look forward to seeing the highlights. Will look forward to seeing the reports of the game too.

At 15 quid it’s still the cheapest crèche and dog sitter facility in that hipster part of London!
It's 12 quid for adults, so clearly you weren't there and don't have a clue what you're talking about. But don't let that get in the way of talking bollocks.

Sounds like another [recent] Darts performance where we win by the odd goal [ after giving away another sloppy goal ] and I am pleased for the 3pts and with some very winnable games we have a great opportunity to accumulate a good number of points before we get the really tough games eg Ebbsfleet, Chelmsford after which we will find out if we reall yare a 3rd placed team !!

I like Charlie's comment where he told Sami to play a different corner to the traditional long one where Bonner/Essam have been far from prolific with a great end result

Glad I Didnt go to Dulwich as last time was aggravation but looking forward to Tonbridge at PP

First half was a bit scrappy but we deservedly went in at HT level.
I thought second half we did improve and overall just did enough to win the game.
I had a feeling at HT we would nick it 2-1 as Dulwich weren't causing us too many problems but went for Alex to score the winner rather than Charlie :) :)
I've got to be honest and say it's a tough watch at the moment and i do feel we need reinforcements but to be fair to Dowse and the team we keep grinding out results and are very well placed in the league, so well done everyone. If we can keep doing that and Dowse is just waiting for the right signings then there could be better times ahead.

Journey there was bad but coming back an absolute nightmare, getting home at 8pm.

Dulwich is a difficult place to watch football with very few decent standing places available. Great crowd though and friendly club but the atmosphere reminds me of your local pub with the vast majority of people just chatting and having a drink and paying very little attention to what's happening on the pitch :lol: :lol:

Charlie leading MOTM atm but for me it was between Marvin and Samir as they were the two who were involved in all the key moments in our win. In the end gave it to Samir.

What with the train strike and the traffic I could not make it but to be honest I cant stand Dulwich and all the champagne socialists on their afternoon meet up .

We may be winning 'ugly', didn't exactly look great against DH, but we may as well enjoy the ride. Conor could have looked sharper on the goal and Samir still looking the best of the bunch.
In the NLP today they have done a bit on Sevenoaks in the FA Cup against Ebbsfleet saying that Fleet are the on-form team in the NLS. Really? To be honest I think that the NLS is full of teams in stuttering form, which is including us. Someone said that this is their best chance of getting promoted this season. At the moment, I have to agree. If they don't they need their arse kicked.
I truly believe that our Christmas/New Year Circus will be a lot closer than present form is suggesting. We may play so disjointedly that it may confuse them and they'll get dragged in to a proper game. :D . Or then, maybe not.
Whatever, I'll be up Saturday for Tonbridge and hopefully a continuation of our winning er, form.

Well pleased with the result :D . Sorry Ozy. The truth is it was poor defending for the DH goal, watch the video. If in doubt clear the ball don’t watch it go past to a forward :D
Sloppy goals may cost us at the end of the season !

I actually thought we didn’t play well. Struggled to string passes together and there were definitely two players that were blatantly pulling out of 60/40 in favour tackles what is unacceptable. I won’t say who people can see the game for themselves.
I see wall got a bit of praise, I didn’t see that. All I saw was him often not even jumping and his body language is not great. You notice Danny Mills, not the greatest player, was buzzing and energetic being a pain in the arse for our defence but Wall walks around slowly shoulders down most of the time.

For their goal I’m sure Connor let the cross go past him deliberately, possibly not realising they had a player there. I could be proved wrong when the highlights come up.

Charlie should start IMO and I think if he played 90 we’d of scored a few more.

Apologies it’s a bit of a negative but it’s how I felt at the time until our second goal and I can’t change that just because we won.

Improvements are necessary without doubt but I back the manager and there are some individual decent performances

You really have to get to their ground by 2pm to have a chance of getting in comfortably for the 3pm kick off, even with a pre-paid ticket!! Does make you chuckle though seeing groups of 4/5 people turning up in the stand at 2.55 looking for a group of vacant seats together?? If they had counted the babies there carried in those sling things the attendance would have been over 5k!!!
Fair play to them on a gate of 3334 but the winning 50/50 ticket was a miserly £43.50……..tight hipster toshers!!

My synopsis of the day…

Shocking journey there and back!

Shit atmosphere even though 3000+ in the ground (would rather watch a game with 1000 Gott all fans in the ground than with 3000 socialites!! If real football fans were turned away after “house full” signs had been nailed to the walls, shame on Dulwich.

As for the football I thought that was a bloody good win for us. Took our time to get into it but controlled at least 60 minutes of the game. Not pretty to watch but more tight wins please. Maybe after the Christmas break when clubs tighten budgets and players are released, we can bring some more quality in. If we’re still in the mix at Christmas, I fancy us for a strong second half of the season.

As for MoM vote, I’m giving mine to Jack Smith. Thought he had his best game for us so far in his short loan spell. Very industrious and dynamic.

Please bring back Dan Roberts, okay him left wing (or no.10) no move Samir back into the middle🙏
