I'll be there hoping we can continue with our good start to the season but this will be the toughest test yet.

Going to be weird having Ryno in the oppositions shirt. Hopefully some of our lads will know all his tricks and keep him quite tomorrow night

[Kebabus]

Hoping that the team are well and truly fired up for this one, no doubt in my mind that Ryan and Alex W will be very motivated.

Hoping outer outstanding central defensive pair shine again to help us keep a clean sheet. Need Bradders for this one, him, Noble and Tom and Ronnie surely one of the best spines of a team in the league.

Will be tuning into twitter.

I think everyone has always known Ryno's tricks, but they've rarely been able to stop him doing them. He's always a threat and I'll be fearful every time he gets the ball tomorrow. I imagine Alex Wall will be up for this one too. On paper this looks like the best Concord side for some time and this will be one hell of a tough game.

I use to be a defender Spike, and if i was playing for the Darts tomorrow night i would clump Ryno first tackle, tell him i'd slept with his Wife then clump him again second tackle!!
That's the way to deal with 'tricky wingers'!!

They don't like it up 'em Mr Mainwaring!!

A bit of clumping is necessary sometimes but the seventies are long gone and these days you can't get away with clumping long enough to win anything. As well as having players who can stop others from playing football, to win games you also need one or two who can play the game themselves and actually create something. We could have done with one on Saturday. Truth is, a successful team needs steel AND creativity.

I know Ryno can go AWOL for long periods during games but there are a great many defenders who ended up red faced despite having had him "in their pocket" for 99% of a game. I hope our lads at the back find dealing with him as easy as you suggest, in which case we can all rest assured that they'll be no Concord goals coming from Ryno "assists" tomorrow.

We need a bit of luck tonight - half of the games Hayes played for Dartford were awesome and the other half were terrible. Let’s hope he has played well in Concord’s opening three games as then surely the odds are in our favour.

Seventies?? Cheeky, i'll have you know i played competitive football up until 2004 !! I was a bit of a player in the non-league scene i can tell you!!
I remember marking Tony Burman once (At least i think it was him? Only ever saw the back of his shirt!!)

[The 5th Searcher]

Let's just hope that Mark Onyemah has one of his best games ever as he'll need to be on form to keep Ryno quiet and out of the game. Bonner & Vint will need to be on form to keep Alex Wall quiet as well.
