For the first time in 18 months I went home entirely happy with the performance. There was not a bad player anywhere on the pitch. All the players were superb with effort and application
In the Concorde game we saw an absolute debacle of a performance from vint and hill giving the ball away constantly with useless long balls. SK immediately dealt with this by putting three excellent players in midfield crook Hyde and Jacob who were always available to receive the ball from the defence
The forwards were again outstanding and of course we had wanadio on the bench who is a great player and without doubt national league standard. My god he had something to prove when he came on as marsh brown was brilliant. Wanadio showed his class with the set up for Charlie’s goal
Thank you SK for giving us a team
I think it has been a scandal that our gates have been so small for so long and I recall in SK first interview saying he wanted to see the numbers up at PP . He mentioned it again in the post match interview and if we play football like that the fans will flood in
I look forward to regular gates of nearly 2000 next season

Defence solid lead by Tom B. Midfield quality on the ball and winning the battle by a mile. Strikers a threat all the time. Really good performance. So many players on top of their game. Real quality around the pitch.
I watch king during game and he’s tactically bang on the players all the time, and they listen. He talks so much sense and I learn or thing or two just listening to him manage / coach his team during the game.
The football is great to watch and we’ve improved massively technically on the ball. We look comfortable and controlled.
We have an excellent team and an excellent manager that’s only going to get better. So happy.
Mom a real tough one but went for romain. Could of been quite a few though.
Long way to go in terms of progress but we’ve got the right man no question and we need to be patient and let him do what he does. It’s clear to see his impact already.
Loving Steve King.

Great to see the team play as a team with good players, a far cry from earlier in the season. With the club backing SK, the future is very promising. Although Tonbridge were poor, no Dart had a bad game. Macca was my MOTM, he didn`t stop running or trying. Elliot will finish with 20+ goals and the midfield looks a vast improvement as well.

No offence CharltonDart, but pushing an opposing player to the ground, whether the referee saw the original challenge on Alhaji or not is 'violent conduct' and a sending off offence. Still, that is neither here nor there. Seeing as it happened all too fast, I didn't see any of it.
Apart from the sending off it was a quality performance from the lads, at last for a long time now I am enjoying watching my football. Quality all over the pitch.
Sesay for me can stay as long as he wants between the posts, again, no offence to Smithy, but Alhaji is agile and gets the ball out quicker so that pressure on the opposition is relentless. Midfield of Tyrique and Billy was quality, Tyrique the workhorse and Billy playing the simple but effective balls, reminding me of Jamie Day. Elliot Romain never stops running and his goal was top drawer.
Great performance, great football and great stuff. Loved every minute.
My MOTM Billy Crook. By not quite a mile. Kingy is King.

Never seen such a one sided performance in a league game in the first half for ages. SK is making his mark quickly.

Good to see our attendance was higher than Ebbsfleet had for their Kent derby with Dover yesterday.

Tonbridge fans view of the game:-

The guy driving is one of the Radio Kent sports commentators, not sure if it’s Matt Davidson.

Notice the video stops just as our keeper is said to of got kicked in the head. This would of cleared it up but he conveniently cut it right there?

Video from National League site includes the incident after about 2.50 mins. Copy/paste to browser.

Hardly looks much of a kick from the 12, but Sesay obviously didn't like it and chased after him, then the 12 looked more as if he ran into Josh's elbow and collapsed in a heap.

From far end I didn't even notice red card nor Josh gping off!

Just watched it several times and it looks to me as if there guy has brought his right leg round and dragged it across Sesay's head and Josh's arm comes round and catches him in the chest. Never a red card, don't know what the ref saw and surely enough there for the club to use if they appeal.
