National League season stops - promotion/relegation issues to be sorted.

Locals would understand if he was clothed in blue and white with that Espanyol crowd across town, but this guy, they say is English and keeps muttering Up the Darts, or words to that effect. And something about 'play-offs, we can still do it'.
But it sounds like we were trounced.
As much as I'd like to say my goodbyes to Elliot on Monday, I think my Summer break has just started early. Still, there's always next season.
Up the Darts

Saying the goodbye to Elliot he so richly deserves IS the reason for going Monday.

On the day possibly the greatest Darts player of all may have played his last game, and without his point-scoring goals we would be way off the playoffs anyway, and who has always been a 'true' Dart giving 110% all the time, what an insult to Bradders.

Think your find he falls into the part time category.....I agree one of our best players of all time but not having him available for all the games handicapped us from the start

Can't call 30 league games this year 'part-time' - only four less than Nobes (def Player of the Year) himself.

I hereby pledge never to buy anything from the people that advertise in the Vanarama League highlights. For crying out loud ...

Great win for the Darts and agree, thought we played some really good stuff first half - liked Billy Crook a lot and a fine debut. Second half we missed Bradders in the middle badly but we stuck at it and got the result. Very good Roberts performance and goals - great run for the first - but MoTM for me was Bradders with a huge performance.

Midfielder Bradders top goalscorer for ten years (possibly save for last year, though not far off) - and under Tony too...

Great battling win yesterday. A main reason was how solid the central core of the team was - Ronnie and Tom B who were excellent, Lee and Bradders who fought very hard and Charlie who gave something to aim at.

Welling better than us in mostly all departments and deserved the win.
First half set up was awful. Cannot play a lightweight like Philpot as a lead and expect anything - he adds nothing, just follows the play. Persisting with him says more about the managers' current confusion than anything. Ryno had a mare, no worse, and Bradders was played out of position first half - if you are going to bring him back for a derby then play him where it can count i.e. as they did for the second half where he was effective and our impact ahead of him was far better, especially with two up front. Nobes was re-energised by it, and had a fine second half because he was out of it first half too just like everyone else.

Well, if the game needed a winner, I know who I would have brought on. Clue ... he has over 130 goals for the Darts.
