We was poor today, what the hell was Elliot playing at with that penalty?? Don’t piss ball about stuttering & stalling when on the run up just hit the bloody ball, it was awful. The guy is a breath of fresh air up front for us and has been strong & solid in every game I’ve seen including today but that miss was bad.
The new fullback Ming looks a good player and seemed to settle in quickly today and Gordon in the left backs position also had another good game.
I don’t know if it’s me but Hill & Vint just don’t look settled together in that centre back position, I think that’s partly where our weakness is coming from.
Hyde played well last week but today he didn’t do a lot for me, he just seemed out of it.
McQueen looks to be getting back to his best and the opposition just can’t handle his pace. Wanadio just didn’t do enough for me today, he won us the penalty but apart from that he didn’t seem to do a lot he becomes transparent and the opposition can start reading exactly what he’s going to do.
I’m really struggling at the moment to see what Liburd is bringing to this team, he’s a very big lad up front but doesn’t win a great deal in the air. He’s strong on the ball but there’s no end product with him and he doesn’t seem to read the game very well. It’s early days I know as he’s only just joined but I can’t see what he brings at the moment.
We’ve certainly seen a difference in the management now compared to the last few seasons with the amount of new signings that are coming in whether it be loan or actual signings and the quality coming in is certainly better. Let’s just hope that we can actually get a settled side soon.
Let’s hope we can get something against Welling on Boxing Day and then pick up the 3pts at home to Tonbridge next Saturday.

Pretty much spot on 5th,MOTM hard one but when Ryan came on we were far more dangerous,so Ryan Motm.

What a difference a week makes, last Saturday an exciting high tempo game, today very low key. Just another of the mysteries of football how performances can vary so much. One of our new signings got a mention in the programme, Marcel Barrington was included in Concord's Player Profiles. With match day programmes prepared early in the holiday season quite likely our other new boy, Sanchez Ming, will appear in Wellings line-up for the game on Boxing Day (weather permitting, Erith & B's home game was called off today due to waterlogged pitch).

We've used a lot of players this season. Last year the managers got a lot of grief for the revolving doors. No one seems to care that we've had 64 players play this year. King forever

Unfortunately, too many players had a very bad day at the office and even SK can put his hand up as well for today's poor showing with some poor team selection. I just can't understand why we have the likes of Brodie & Crook, who are genuine central midfield players being overlooked to accommodate a central defender, who like Nathan Collier provides cover all over the pitch but unlike Nathan does not excel in what ever position he plays in. I will also question one of our forwards again today, you might have well have stuck the Wooden Man up top, at least he might have won a header and been more mobile. It was like watching a game of senior walking men's football, then what really incensed me was when he pulled out of a challenge with their keeper, where he looked to be the favorite.
We just need to get some players back and playing regular football again and stop this revolving door policy. Personally, I would sooner SK give one or two of our academy players a chance and save some of the budget as we are going nowhere this season. He must be going well over budget with all the players that we are going through, I bet Steve Irving is not too pleased either!
However, it was not all doom and gloom, the new fullback Ming looks solid and offers something going forward as well and at least we finished strong again and should have had another penalty from a blatant handball. Thinking about it, our penalty should have been retaken as their keeper was miles off his line but this just sums up the day's events for us. Sadly, the subs were too late but at least this will give SK some food for thought with the games coming thick and fast over the festive period.

That was woeful. I haven't seen the team for a few weeks and was looking forward to enjoying the improvement so it was a great disappointment. And so many new faces - have we got Jamie and Adam back? I know we have many injuries but that was a very poor performance.
The new right back looked like he might have something about him and Romain works hard (though that was a crap penalty), the wingers flatter to deceive ..... as for the rest ......

Never thought I would find myself saying this after being one of his biggest critics for many seasons. But MOTM for me today was Ryan Hayes. His introduction in the second half provided us with the best opportunities of finding the back of the net.

Well I suggest you enjoy every second that Ryan is on the pitch the magic man can't go on forever a player like Ryan does not come along very often at this level we have been so lucky to have him at Dartford for all these years,Dartford Legend.

If we don’t play the ball wide, why have wingers? If we don’t play the ball long, why have a giant number 9 who clearly is unable to play football on the deck.
Actually I think it was quite an even game. Concord played well so now you know how I think we played, save the observations above.
Still think we’ll make the play offs.

I can’t understand why we adopted this 4-4-2 formation when we had been playing a better style of football which last week saw us win with a 4-3-3. The big lad up front did practically nothing all game but he wasn’t the only one to have a poor game. Last week we could have had 3-4 MOTM and this week barely anyone could put a claim in for it
