Darts v Dulwich Hamlet 3pm Sat 20th Oct

[Jonty]

Today we looked very solid, despite our visitors having quite a lot of possession and knocking the ball around well, they never really created anything of caused us much trouble. Even their goal came out of the blue from a long range shot. In truth, we should have already have been 3 goals up with 3 or 4 glorious opportunities wasted, then even after they scored we had a couple more great chances.

All in all, it was deserved victory and for once our fullbacks looked the part. For me, this has been our weakest area of the pitch and it looks like we have stumbled upon the solution due to injuries, I really can't see the regulars getting back in on today's showing. In fact we had good balance throughout the team, it was just a pity we couldn't kill the game off on the break, which we had threatened to do on numerous occasions. The only negative aspect of the day was another poor performance from Tom M, he is carrying too much weight and has lost his zip. The fact that he kept getting offside was a sign of a player who knows that he no longer has the legs or that he is losing the fight to get match fit. I feel really sorry for the guy as he has scored some good goals for the club but this only masks the fact that his overall game is short of the required standard for this division at present. Even Duke made a point about the size of his backside! It is down to him as to whether he can shed the timber.

A good turn out from the supporters today as well as moving into a sixth place in the table. Then there is also the fact that Ryan will be waiting in the shadows for a much welcome return and all of a sudden things don't seem so bad again. Whether we have turned the tide only time will tell but on today's showing we looked a very solid unit and long may it continue.

Happy with the win today . I thought Dulwich started the better and knocked the ball around really well and deserved the lead . After their goal we seemed to wake us up and started to get on top so 1-1 at half time was about right, the Dulwich's defence were guilty of not playing to the whistle all stopping to appeal . Second half we put it the kind off effort we want to see , Lee was outstanding again . Enjoy the goals

Looked like a handball by Bonner on the lead up to the first goal, but hey ho.

A much better performance today and the missing team spirit seems to have returned with a good performance from the players.
Derren had an excellent game when called upon and if this is to be his last game he goes out on a high and I don't think he could be held at fault for their goal as it was a speculative shot from outside of the box which turned into a very good goal.
The defence covered well and cleared the goal threats from corners and free kicks and blocked most shots by any means needed.
Nobes put in another M.O.M. performance and stood head and shoulders above those around him as he was all over the field covering mistakes by others.
Jamie and Charlie took their chances well and we came away with the win all though from behind the goal there were different opinions about offside or not and the penalty where Jamie appeared to have lost control and did he dive or not but who cares the goals stood for us and it was about time that we had a bit of luck go our way.
I'm looking forward to seeing Ryno back in contention for a starting place or even on the bench and can guarantee whatever peoples opinions of him were/are he will get a very warm and welcoming reception when he takes the field.

Really pleased with the performance.
Lee Noble outstanding even by his own standards.
I know he does get the recognition from fans but I think he is still underrated he’s so good.
All over the pitch, composed, tenacious, class and skill.

Our improvement continues even though we had some luck with decisions. Its all about 3 points and we got them. I wish all teams in this League had Dulwich Hamlet's away support 300-400 of them and so very civilised, not for them the chant "The referee's a wanker" favoured by our faithful , they chanted "the referee's a Tory " when a decision went against them.

First off, Good refereeing throughout. Had an excellent game in the middle and his assistants too.
Second annoyed that Lee got yet another silly booking after getting mt MOTM.
Excellent game of football and as I said previously, can't see DH in the bottom half for too long. They knocked the ball about well, their only downfall really was that they didn't create many goalscoring opportunities. When the defense backed off of their No9 you could see he looked and thought 'well, I might as well have a go here'.
Having said that the back four played well and were solid. I dare the duo drop Vinty as he was probably the best of the four. Wynter looked very good on the right.
Noble was awesome, all over the pitch.
A good solid performance by all on the pitch. A good entertaining game.

Ah, but Arthur, we've clocked your same old droning.
