Only 1 mom today and didn’t deserve to be on losing side. Lee Noble. Ran the midfield for long periods.
Though Tom B defended well. I didn’t really see how the goal came about.

Oh dear huff and puff and a sucker goal. Credit to those behind the goal, as the game wore on and we pressed and pressed so they sang louder and louder - well done to you all.
I was looking forward to seeing Bradders at centre back anticipating the ball being played out of defence in a more cultured manner - that notion soon disappeared unfortunately.
Winter played well at the back showing what a good defender he is late in the game when he broke up threatening attacks single handed a couple of times - likely to get my MoM.
Plenty of balls into the box from Ryno - though not much forward presence to make it tell - little from the other side, especially when Coker came on to do his bambi act - legs going in all directions! Welcome back Andy Pugh - I really thought he was going to score just after he came on.
Great pity its ending like this after we were given a glimpse of what could have been.

a very dire performance,injuries are now beginning to tell,the play offs still possible but do we think we can do it with only 2 points from 15 i think not,we have run out of steam and ideas with no forwards capable of scoring.sad to see it after we gave ourselves a chance to be in it.

hope bradders can still play a part this season be nice to give him a big send off at home to billericy that he fully deserves.

I know we are short of players but to lose to a piss poor Chippenham side is hard to take, we seem to be crashing out of the play-offs with a whimper. No real cutting edge today even young McQueen who started so well has gone off the boil. Lee Noble head and shoulders above the rest with ability and effort if only we could clone him and field ten of him. A great shame to lose Elliott with an injury he looked very comfortable at centre back. Looking at the League table we are still in with a good chance but on our recent form I can't see us winning another game. The only real highlight was Pughy's return.

Apparently there were two 19-year-olds and one 17-year-old in their defence today but we didn't look likely to take advantage of their inexperience.

In today's programme the subject of players questions was Adam Flanagan,, the injury situation is worse than we all thought.
Only 6 straight wins (5 away) & we will be ok At least we are consistent, second week running we have lost to a team who had only 1 point from their previous 6 games. The make-up of National South next season will be of interest with all the clubs coming down being southern based. There will be a few of most northerly clubs having an anxious wait to see if they have become honrary northerners for 19/20 at least. Maybe a club based almost right on the m25 might be the solution?

As I understand it Oxford and Gloucester have already been told they would be going in to the North!

Those 2 teams are the 'best' (not for them) placed to change divisions, but I'm sure they are not willing volunteers. Especially poor old Gloucester who have had play 'up north' before, but I cannot see how such a situation can be avoided.

Well with Braintree, Maidstone, Aldershot and Havent coming down none of them could go into the North and teams coming up!

Interesting times ahead, who wants to go up anyway!

Only noble has played and been a true Dartford player all season all the rest have either been part time ....crap ... on loan or didn’t give a **** ....sad for me to say this after supporting since I was 14 years old in 1986/7 at Watling Street ...the managers inject no passion into our team won’t be sad if they both go ....crap season all round !!!!!
