Slough Town away January 18

[spike]

Guys, I doubt UTD has ever seen a Dartford game, unless it was against his team, whoever that is. Kentc is spot on, if anything, we should feel a little sorry for him as he obviously has no life. Mental health issues are no joke and the best thing we can do to help him is not feed his habit by responding.

And now the players lose their heads. Put ourselves in a decent position then throw it away as usual

How did they lose their heads. What did you see ? What happened ? Tell me

He didn't see anything Reg , like he doesn't see anything any week because he is not a Darts fan.

No no I would like to know his views. I think its unfair not to give him a chance. In fact I will send a private message and have a meet. I will pay

An unfortunate loss but we're still in a great position especially after the way our season started. We just need to pick up and go again. Slough are a very good side this season and it's evident in the league table

'UpTheDarts' just seems like a wind up merchant and I'm not going to entertain his 'opinions' and that's all I'll say on the matter.

Shame to see our winning run end, but Slough was a toughie. Gutted to be honest, but the trend is upwards - SK said from the start it would take a while to rebuild.

How did they lose their heads. What did you see ? What happened ? Tell me. What usually do we throw away ? Who did you think was Slough Towns best player ? What subs would you have made ? Have you enjoyed the season under Steve King ? Where do you think he could improve things ? Indeed do you not think things have improved ? Who do you think is our best player ? Plenty of questions I know but maybe you can take them in turns and let me know your thoughts.

How did they lose their heads. - Silly red card for an off the ball incident which now means a suspension therefore the whole balance of the squad thrown up in the air.

What usually do we throw away - Relegated from the national league, given a reprieve due to Salisbury/Hereford and given a second chance, and threw it away again and got relegated 'again'. Burman's last season, stupid losses to low league teams cost us the title and we bottle it in the playoffs

Have you enjoyed the season under Steve King ? - Under Steve King, yes. However the board should have made the decision in the summer and not left the clowns in until it was potentially too late. If we made the change when we should have done we wouldn't be in this position and we would be further up the table I have no doubt, I'm not denying an improvement has been made.

Where do you think he could improve things ? - Get rid of the deadwood as we still have a lot of it and not hold on to sentimental players, such as Ryan Hayes, I also think Sheringham is nowhere near the player he was and should be let go but then that's something for the end of the season I guess.

Who do you think is our best player ? Darren McQueen, said it last season when I saw him play he was immense and always caused teams problems. I'm also a big fan of Romain.

[Reginald Horsfield]

What was your view of the sending off. What happened off the ball ?

Relegated from the National League umm and why did you think that happened after finishing 8th and making the trophy semi final. I'm going to be interested in YOUR explanation to this one

Why do you think Billy Crook has been such a revelation in the last month or so ?

[The Don]

Why are we giving that knob UTD airtime? He has dragged this thread right down. Gary please ban him, failing that when everybody ignored him he seemed to slither away. Can we please just all try not to acknowledge him going forward??

The season we got relegated the reprieve came fairly late. I spoke with Dave Phillips in a pub not long after the decision was made
He told me he felt sorry for TB. Tony had done his business early and had got a team together he felt would have been good enough to win the Conference South outright.
Unfortunately once the reprieve was announced, players, contracts etc had already been signed. So we just had to go with it.
That was the season Tom Bradbrook signed for us from the Ryman South. It was a big move up into the National League from step 4 in the pyramid.

So, as for the match, we never really got going today and struggled to get a grip with a decent Slough side. It's a very narrow 4G pitch which made it difficult to get any width, plus the surface was very fast and we kept over-hitting our passes and losing possession. It was disappointing of course, but this was always going to be a tough one and we are still a work in progress so I'm not too despondent. We've had such a good run recently that it would be easy to get a bit carried away so maybe we needed this reality check.

Ryan Hayes has been having an eventful time at Sevenoaks. First game postponed due to a power cut. Scored the winning goal in the second game. Then got sent off today.
