Mmmmmm. A positive statement from UTD for once.

As per the Maidstone twitter feed (as I couldn't find it on ours, or this fine forum):

"Today's attendance is 1,255 including 252 away supporters".

According to the internet Laurent Mendy comes from Senegal and until very recently has been playing in the Luxembourg Premier League and has been involved in a number of Europa League games this season but it maybe that it is a totally different Laurent Mendy? Either way he has obviously joined the Darts to play at a higher level!.

My first game since the Tonbridge debacle. Lots of new faces on the field. Good second half, looked dangerous going forward. Need that poacher up front. Great support ! Far, far better than that dismal eve on Tonbridge.

On my way back to Dartford by train and upon boarding at Strood I spotted a blast from the past........Ginge!!

We know the score will be 2 -2 after 90 minutes, so lets go straight to extra time and penalties (if required). Cheap entry again, weather promises to be quite mild but very wet. Hopefully I can shake this rotten cold off by then.

If you can't tell I'm on the wind up. I'm really not fussed about the FA trophy tbh.

Good to see Romain firing though

You would if you were a Dartford fan.

He's obviously not a Dartford fan. My money is that he's Ebbsfleet really, but his Mum doesn't like him going so far on a bus on his own.

Good draw today especially bearing in mind such a weakened team... without a single full back on show! Kingy is really starting to get the players believing in themselves again. Long may it continue!

Interesting/boring fact - Tuesday night will be the first time DFC have played the same team three times in a row since 1957 when Darts played Gravesend and Northfleet (5th September, Southern League Cup - 8th and 12th September, FA Cup and replay)

To give them a chance

According to Radio Kent (for what that's worth!) we were missing SEVEN players today. In addition to the well-known absence of four through injury, three others went down with illness yesterday and today.
