Attendance 850

Wabo on, Onyemah off

2-3! McQueen

Game on .

Bonner on for Greenhalgh, Hill goes up front

Correction: Hill must have been booked in first half, as Vint takes booking just now

Probably going to get the usual suspects have a moan at me here - but it's a forum and I will voice my opinion.

3-0 down to a lower league opposition who are having a bang average season themselves. I don't care what our recent form is, how many we've scored/conceded.

That is unacceptable and disgrace. Every week the defence seems to be arguing with eachother and not knowing what their roles are. We're a shambles.

Steve King has a lot of work to do. Starting a full back 1 day after signing him who was at fault for a couple of their goals was a risk that didn't pay off, however willing to give him the benefit of the doubt on this one due to the current injury problems.

I hope this is a wake up call and realisation that we aren't the team we once were and Kingstonian were the better team than us and if we continue on in the way we are we will end up on the same level as them next season and after today we wouldn't even dominate that league.

Full focus on the league now start with 3 points next week and hopefully King can start to get his style across.

We really had three players making their first start this season for Dartford , with Crook and Onyemah as well as the new full back, which was hardly ideal for the Manager's first match. Nevertheless we would have expected to win. I shall await with interest the comments of those who were there.

No it isn't, it's the FA Cup. It is very disappointing, but neither a disgrace nor unacceptable. If every game went to form, they'd just give the cup to Man City. Keep a sensible perspective!

Disappointing attendance. Shocking result. Sack the manager! Oh, no, wait a minute...
Seriously, no argument about it, the Ks were the definitely the better side on the day and fully deserved to win. We started brightly and promisingly, but from 0-1 in the 10th minute it was uphill all the way. The penalty for the 3rd goal really put the kibosh on things. You could tell it wasn't going to be our day towards the end of the first half when a header beat the keeper all ends up but hit the post and bounced back into his grateful arms. The reversion to hoofball in the second half, after generally trying to play it to feet in the first half, was also a disappointment, especially with three little guys (Pugh, McQueen and Wabo) up front. At least SK knows what he's got to deal with now.
Oh well, at least we/SK can concentrate on the league now. Who wanted an away to trip to Scunthorpe anyway?
