Has Ronnie actually got on the pitch this season under these two? If not, Why?

I haven't thought much of the Hill/Bonner combination at the back, a stuttering start and with a Captain failing to acknowledge travelling fans it seems all is not well. He may have just forgotten.
Of course if Ronnie starts on Saturday and we lose it is an excuse for some to say 'that's why he's not playing'. But then we all know that Ronnie is a Dartford boy and will give 100%.
I hope Allen is fit to compliment Nobes and if so we could see a resurgence but then if we're not scoring goals???
Worse start in 14 years, even with the first season in the Conference and four straight defeats from the off we always looked like it wasn't going to last long, but with this crowd you have to wonder where our first win is going to come from.
Up the Darts

In his defence, Tom B is normally one of the first players to come over and acknowledge the fans at the end of a game. I suspect he was just raging and forgot, I hope so anyway

As long as we don't lose i will be happy, as i think its the best we can hope for at the moment
A win would really get our season up and running.
I shall go to PP on Saturday in hope rather than expectation.

I assume Jordan Wynter's red card ban will come into effect, Ronnie Vint might get a game at right back?

Agree with you totally but could you imagine losing them.

Imo this is not like him. I hope he realises the feeling on this and puts it right. He is our captain and leader and he’s more than experienced enough to know the responsibilities of this role.

There’s something amiss in the dressing room I fear. Two things are out of place. Needs fixing. The squad is good enough.

Horrible comment. Once again being personal. You cannot believe the love of the club that the two lads have and I mean that. Now we are all aware of the slow start and this and that, we all have an opinion of what everyone should do. But I hate personal comments like that it's a total disgrace.

Well, just before this thread sinks into Pious Platitudes, I'm off.
Let's hope for a Dartford win on Saturday. I will see most of you there.

Arthur, while I don’t agree with SD it’s not a personal comment is it. This is a football club fans forum and the 2 managers are in the hot seat so they will get praise when due and criticism. It’s ludicrous to think it’s unfair if they don’t. How much they love the club is not in question but this has no bearing on any posts on their performances as the managers. If they succeed or fail it will be because of thier ability in the DFC hot seat(s) not because they love the club.
It does show an attitude that maybe that’s the problem, we have to keep it all in DFC and don’t dare go outside.
That’s not a criticism at all but an observation.
I don’t think the managers are doing well at all but I will support them 100% and hope they turn it round and not becuase they love the club.
