Chelmsford (A) - 12th August

[Ozymandias]

I do have to wonder what Arty's fogged brain will come up with on this one. We are all obviously to blame.
A team that can't defend, create or score. Supporters on here predicting defeat and some by a sizeable margin. We can't all be wrong Arty. But somehow your plaintive cries of defence for this shambles will be heard.
The two home games that I have witnessed have been 3rd rate and struggle we will, even a quick Noble fix will NOT be good enough.

I bet that some wished they were on holiday tonight Darren, instead of coming back from Essex

[Darren]

Didn’t go tonight ozy but by the sounds of it, the whole team went on holiday in the 2nd half

Ozymandias how delighted you must feel. All this gives you so much mental masturbation doesn't it. You must be cock a hoop at the results after all you've been a moaner for years. You are well known for it. I'm delighted for you. Have a gloat. Share your delight at the results. I give you 10 out 10 for your cheap after time shot at Arthur. Do you know what. I wouldn't waste your thoughts and emotions on what Arthur thinks. Just sit back have a cheeky rustle (of the newspaper) and smile that you are in a good place at the moment happy to simply dig. Well done.Just think a few hours sleep and you can get up and moan again

I’m sure no true Dartford supporter is feeling delighted, unfortunately time to act is now

Gents, with the very greatest of respect, we all want the best for the Club . Clearly, beyond the disastrous injury list, the consensus has been, that The Squad amassed under the Financial direction of the Board, was positive and well received .

The injury list is now well documented. The start to the Season is clearly an issue. Obviously the Board will reflect and take task with the situation. That is their task and remit. Let's not fall out with each other, and allow the Company to deliberate unemotionally on things we cannot.. Mike.

First half we started ok and knocked it around a bit but Chelmsford came back into it and we may have just shaded it but there wasn't much in it. Unfortunately for us Wabo missed a one on one just before half time but in all honesty we didn't really create any other real chances and we were no more than ok. Adam.C lead the line well again but as usual had little support.
Second half was up there with one of the worst performances i have seen from a Dartford side. Chelmsford were out about 5-10 mins before us warming up on the pitch and when the half started they got going and we didn't. We did absolutely nothing second half and i felt sorry for Adam.C who quite rightly got frustrated with all that was going on around him. He also got a raw deal from the ref and his frustrations eventually led to him getting booked. IMO Jordan's challenge was a yellow and not a red and although i thought the ref had a poor game it was nowhere near as poor as our second half performance and was not the reason for our defeat. This was one of the weakest Chelmsford sides i have seen and they were probably the worse team we have played this season but still good enough to beat us.

I normally wait around 8 to 10 games to see how things are progressing and how i believe we will do but it already looks very worrying and i can't really see how they are going to turn things around. We look to have a decent squad but in the three games i have seen we have been ok at best and have created barely a handful of chances so something needs to change very quickly as we seem to have just carried on from where we left off last season.

We had chances in the first half, we really did, but there was no structure to our play and all we really did was lump it down the middle for the big man up front. Thankfully, when that big man is Adam Cunnington this is actually quite effective, at least it would be if he got the support he deserved. The guy worked his socks off again tonight, winning everything in the air despite being pushed, pulled and manhandled by the two thugs in the centre of Chelmsford's defence. Sadly, there just isn't any connection between him and Wabo and you can see the frustration all over Adam's face. I feel his pain, I really do. There's no doubt in my mind that Cunnington is one of the best traditional centre-forwards we've ever had at the club but he needs the right man alongside him. I think McQueen might be the best option long term but in the interim I'd let Pughie have a go.

So then came the second half and OMG, we threw in the towel. It is scary at how quickly our team just capitulates when things go wrong. Our second half showing can only be described as pathetic and following on from our cataclysmic collapse at the end of last season, I seriously worry about the management's ability to engender any sort of team spirit as the heads went down so quickly we may as well have waved a white flag. It was Eastbourne all over again.

Young Brodie did okay and Luke Warner-Eley battled on to the end, but overall it was another massive fail.

So bitterly disappointed.

I said it last year and I haven't been proved wrong so will say it again, as you are all repeating yourselves as you have been for nearly ten years.

At the end of the season before last we finished equal top on points, scoring loads more goals than anyone and had good cup runs, only a hooky game and a shootout saw us not get promoted - but the moaners shouted it wasn't good enough, couldn't get any worse and TB had to go - so he did

Constant whining and criticism does get people down and demoralise them and affects performance and results, if you don't understand that you don't understand much.

Well, this time last year you all said it was right to change and after a poor start we should give the new manager(s) who are here because of you moaners a go.

So here we are again, more of the same all round. Let's face it, if you've been moaning for ten years you won't stop ever so well done in helping turn a feared team into a laughing stock,may as well give them another go, you'll keep slagging them anyway.

Apart from Parklife (as usual) this is the only post that I can agree with - well said
