According to Chelmsford’s Twitter kick off delayed to 8pm due to the ref being delayed in traffic.

Dorking manager Marc White is in attendance ahead of this weekend’s game. His fashion choices are…interesting.

Porter thrpugh on goal, brought down and red card for Chelmsford defender.

[The Duke]

listening on radio , we seem to have all of the ball but struggle to breakdown packed defenses , bit worrying that Chelmsford have got behind us and should have scored , lets hope the 10 men run out of steam 2nd half ???

[Park Life]

HT 0-0

[Top Cat]

All Dartford by the sound of the commentary ?
Could be tricky trying to play against a ten man defence ; so patience is needed for the second half because they will be looking to level it up .

[The 5th Searcher]

A bit worrying that we keep getting caught offside as well, surely we can read the line better.

We MUST make this extra man advantage count and punish them.

Their keeper was booked for time wasting even though he’s injured and can’t kick a ball & their manager was booked for complaining.

Looks like the ref is strong with the cards, fingers crossed we don’t receive any.

[Park Life]

Well on top and Chelmsford losing discipline so shame HT has gave them a break.
Hopefully with them playing Saturday and chasing the ball around we will take advantage even if it's late on.

[BAWArmy]

We're all over them by the sounds of it, just missing the killer ball.

Got 0-0 or a 1-0 Chelmsford all over it hasn't it...

[BAWArmy]

2 points dropped. Playing against 10 for 45 minutes we should be winning. Must've had about 20 shots (very few on target) and 20 corners by the sounds of commentary.. Sudbury first half all over again. Can't seem to stay onside either

[The Duke]

Bit of thinking for Kingy to do as we seem NOT to be able to breakdown packed defences as in the last 3 games we have dominated possession but have scraped a 1-0 , lost 3-1 and a 0 0 draw , I thought tonights starting 11 was our strongest but refresh time maybe ???

Hurry back Jake Robinson !!!!!

[Top Cat]

Says a lot when we feel deflated at getting a point at Chelmsford ? It was always going to be difficult against a ten man defence , but that said , the last three games we have been looking at bit goal shy ? Hopefully back to scoring ways on Saturday.

[BAWArmy]

My main worry is this spell we're going through of creating loads of half chances and not being clinical in the final ball continues and turns into a 4 or 5 game streak and we lose our lead at the top.

[ozymandias]

What tosh, I'd have taken a 0-0. Still unbeaten. Can't expect to win every game, sometimes harder to play against 10. Well done the lads. On to Saturday and a win.

[Jonty]

I agree with Ozy, I would have taken the draw beforehand. My only concern was playing three relatively slow players together in the middle of the park from the off. I would still like to see Hyde return and leave one or two of our sideways passing players on the bench. I also hope we see Jake Robinson back urgently.

[BRASSNECK]

Only 4 points dropped only 4 goals conceded in 9 games and 6 points clear. Happy days.

[oranj]

Chelmsford defended magnificently and probably deserved a point. Their keeper was injured for most of the game but we barely forced him into a save, which was disappointing. We had so many corners in the second half, but I felt that a number of Jebb’s deliveries were pretty poor, so we were never able to take advantage.

As others have said, we would have taken a point here when the fixtures came out.

Finally, what a truly terrible place to watch football. I do feel sorry for Chelmsford fans who have to put up with this awful home ground. I can’t think of any grounds worse that this one.
