Hope we can keep him to the end of the season at least.

Not sure the point of the tweet to be honest.

Making his interest public is surely only going to put pressure and distract the player.

Surely his job is to get the best deal for the club.

Totally agree with the other comments about Mark Brenlund's tweet re. Olly Box. The kid only made his league debut for Dartford last week and I think that posting such a tweet is unnecessary and not helpful at this stage of the season for Dartford or Olly's career. If he had been playing all season and had scored loads of goals I could maybe understand it. Not well thought out IMO.

I'm sure Mark meant well, but that's a misguided tweet in my opinion. It reminds me on when Dowse started telling the world that Sam Odaudu was destined for the football league when the lad had barely started in our first team. Olly is a great prospect, but he has only started two games and this sort of nonsense does nothing more than pile pressure on the lad. I'd be surprised if TB was happy with this unhelpful tweet.

This is a response to all those who criticise the board for not doing enough to get more support fir the club - Come and see our star before he leaves for the big time.
Be careful what you wish for!

The club has got to get it's head screwed on and be tough when it comes to any negotiations. If a Premier League club comes in and thinks that much of the lad than stick a million pound price tag on his head. It's the Premiere League so play hardball.
Forget about a player having his head turned. It's happened, it's gone public, it's out there now and it is what it is.
But for God's sake don't give our players away. If a top flight club is serious then they'll pay.

This is not a post that a Director of the club should be involved in (assuming Mark is still on the Board). Tony is trying to get us out of trouble - this doesn't help building things up

Is that a response from Tony today, putting Ollie on the bench?

Will take that.
Credit where it’s due, if Pennock is able to bring in players of his quality to replace some of the dead wood then long may it continue.

Love it, Jordan was not given enough games to show what he could do in his previous spell His record speaks for itself and he will score a few goals for us that hopefully keeps us in this division. Exciting signing

So happy with this signing it’s the type of signing we have
missed since the King days and long overdue! We are a big
hitter in this league it’s good to see we are starting to act
like one I just hope it’s not too late!

Looking at Darlington in the NLN you can see what a difference
a quality manager makes to a club.

A good signing and welcome addition. Jordan is a bit of a handful, has an eye for goal and his shot certainly packs a wallop. Great start from our new gaffer.

Didn’t expect this signing, but happy with it. Didn’t he score against us at Tonbridge?

Liked Jordan 1st time around and wanted to see him back for this season from August but Dowse to f.....g interested slgning injured and aged strikers to bother , he will score goals especially in the penalty box and will be enthused by the chances he gets from crosses from Shotonumc,
