[KentC.]

What a brilliant result , we march on. We’ll done boys and the manager

[DartfordHero]

Braintree deserved absolutely nothing from that display. Got put to the sword by 10 men. Brilliant result

[Kebabus]

Loving this run and points in the bank, remember the other teams will have to play catch up.

This run of results deserves a good following next Saturday at Farnborough, really chuffed with the result, bearing in mind we went down to 10 men.

Enjoy your evening and week Darts fans.

A first half to forget , but a great second half from the Darts with a couple of quality goals worthy of any level . Not sure why Tom was sent off but it seemed to spur the Darts on to a well deserved victory. Many a candidate for MOTM but I’m going for Pierre Fonkeu , the lad run his socks off all match and never gave their defence any breathing space .

I thought the same he was outstanding.

[Silverado]

Bonner sent off, second yellow.

I’m away not at game, was it deserved?

No gamemanship from Braintree, just soft yellows for fairly innocuous fouls,

[Mark Sweet]

Get in there!!!!

The first half was a tough watch with Braintree's antics being arguably worse than Hungerford. The ref had no control and fell right into their gameplay, booking Charlie for no apparent reason.

Second half we were like a different team and the goal came at an important time as the longer it stayed 0-0 the tougher it would be against them.

I have no idea what Tom was shown his 2nd yellow (or his first one) for as I counted multiple times them do the same thing to Pierre and Charlie but nothing was given.

A fantastic 2nd goal from Luke and then Samir come on and once again showed his class, the 3rd goal was beautifully worked.

A number of candidates for MOTM, Luke had another good game, I thought Smith in midfield was excellent once again with his pressing and work rate throughout the game and getting himself into some really good positions in the final third, however my vote is going to Pierre. His constant running and pace all game caused their defenders issues and with Charlie not being as effective today he played a vital role in the attack.

The run continues! ALAN DOWSON'S BLACK AND WHITE ARMY.

Firstly, congratulations to the football team on the pitch for ignoring the constant provocation from the appalling team from north of the Thames. Feigning head injuries to get players booked is about the low as you can get. It only resulted in the crowd becoming more involved in the game and cranking up the volume in support of the Darts. It was funny to see a team waste so much time in the first half, and then complain about our keeper taking far less time than their keeper whenever we had a goal kick.

Two glorious goals and two well taken penalties put us in total control even though Tom had seen yellow twice, handed out by the inept official in the middle. Strangely, I do not believe that any of our opponents back four saw yellow all game.

Braintree have a reputation and they continue to defend that reputation to the last. I am not sure what the away fans see in their performance to merit spending hard earned cash on travelling to watch. At least today, there was one team on the pitch playing the beautiful game, even if only when their shirts weren't being pulled.

This is turning into a glorious weekend of sport, with the English performances at cricket, rugby union and rugby league. I just need Chelsea to beat the Gooners now to make it a full set!

Another Brilliant Performance by the Darts against a Team of Spoilers. they got exactly what they deserved, the number of times their Players went down screaming when they knew the challenge was coming in and also their Players managed to scream in harmony, obviously practice it in training. Shouldn't really be talking about them, its all about the Darts.

[KSTDART]

The first half was a non event , not sure what was said at half time but it worked . I guess it was on the lines of get the ball down and let your football do the talking and stop them from dragging you into their cheating antics .
Not sure Tom what Tom did but to be fair there was not a lot of complaint . I wonder then the last time a team with 10 men scored 3 times but 2 off them were sublime. I only just managed to get Lukes as it happened so quickly.

Brainless clearly came to spoil and break up play with very little intent to attack and win the game. That made it difficult for us in the first half and, Charing at the break, we wondered what exactly we had to do to break them down.

Second half we played with more intensity, a high press and sharper passing. That’s exactly what unlocked a hugely negative opposition that got exactly what they deserved from the game - nothing! At times in the second half we were brilliant and tore them a new one. Two wonderful goals, one each by Luke and Samir were well worth the entrance fee.

Back too and the unbeaten run continues. Onto Farnborough next week.

Agree Pierre had a good game but Luke Coulson made the difference for s today and gets my MoM vote.

[oranj]

A Great performance against a team barely interested in playing football until they went one nil down. Time wasting, play acting, anti-football. I feel sorry for their fans who have to watch this every week.

Every player stood up in the second half- we worked harder and had quality all over the pitch.

Tom’s sending off happened in front of me- he got caught out after a quick throw and the attacker got the wrong side of him. As soon as that happened the attacker was always going straight down. His first yellow was soft too, so I think he’ll be disappointed to be sent off for two pretty innocuous challenges.

[rambo]

Another great win well deserved.
Braintree are a joke of a team , all that first half time wasting and the useless ref adds one minute extra time. Their manager should take a look at our third goal to understand that’s how you play football
Once again so many good performances from our players but I made pierre MOTM for his not stop effort always available and won the penalty
