a well earned 3 pts if we could off finished some of our chances it would of
made the afternoon more relaxing like others have said i to thought a
late goal from them was coming.i thought second half we dropped to deep allowing them to come on to us
our keeper made a good save right at the start and looks better every game and billy
in midfield holdind and passing looking good i think nobes may have trouble getting a game.
i thought the referee was very poor with not sending their no4 off for that lunging tackle
and also not booking their no5 for continuly fouling.

What thread should I put this on ? Not sure. I'm of the belief that we are in the midst of a momentous period in the clubs history. And I mean history. I beg that all fans and the board do not let this opportunity slip us by. Steve King is quite simply, at least, the best non league manager in the business. The board made the move in his appointment which I thank. They are the greatest people anyone could wish and are second to none. From TB and Dave Skinner and the leading goalscorer in the league walking football in Lord Irving we cannot get any better. I love you all as we all do and want to say well..... thank you.
P.s I may get chastised again but flans and Coylie were great people to employ. It's a football journey that we all enjoy and about to enjoy further , but dont forget just how they want us to succeed . Dont forget

Probably deserves its own thread but covered ground. I would say, (and suspect many others also) that C & F should have gone at the end of last season. Just imagine where we would be if we had SK from the start of the season. It does not matter to me whether C & F were 'nice chaps', its a results business.

It’s an absolute pleasure going to see the Darts these days. Everyone you come across at Princes Park has a bloody great smile on their face. And those faces are increasing in numbers as word gets around that there is something worth witnessing. First half we should have been 3-4 goals to the good but the one we did put away was from the Romain and McQueen combo. Even in the second half when the game struggled to hit the same heights we had 3 glorious chances from Ty, Els and Sanchez. Great saves from their keeper and near misses from us kept the score respectable; they couldn’t have complained if it had been 6 or 7. Another clean sheet is something that the team will thrive on, too.

So it’s all down to Chippenham next week. They pulled off a very creditable draw at home to Havant yesterday so any thoughts of an easy 3 points should be expunged from our minds. They are fighting against relegation and we’ll need Dorking style away performance to bring back the spoils. I can’t wait!

We played well first half and should have won the game comfortably but their keeper kept them in it. How the Ref didn't give a straight Red for that tackle I find amazing and then he books BB for pulling back one of their players. We ground out the second half with our defence looking solid. If the season continues to go the same way our fixture at Maidstone could be very interesting.

Agree with all the posters and what they are saying that we should have won by a hat full of goals given the chances in the first half, the good saves from their keeper. their number 4 should definitely have been red carded, the referee lecturing so many but booking so few.
But what about those very poor free kicks and corners that we had in the first half all taken by the same player and over hit or failing to clear the first defender, more improvement please or let someone else take them and perhaps generate a few more chances or score that extra goal to take some of the pressure off of us as we wait for the final whistle in the hope that they don't snatch an equalizer.
Every one I speak to has their own thoughts on the squad numbers and budget but I am sure the board and Steve are working together within their means, so well done Darts, another good win and loads more potential regular fans to come through the door for future home games and contribute to the 50-50 to help boost the funds.

First half the football was outstanding. A joy to watch and if we had 4 no one could complain.
Second half they had their moments and some pressure but not too sure how many saves AJ had to make.
The defence coped well and we defend well as a team but at the other end still could of had a few more.

I stand above Steve King at the dug out, it’s a joy watching him getting the most from the players, always on at them technically and tactically not letting their standards slip during the game.
I’ve learned quite a bit watching and listening to him this season.

These are exciting times, wonderful manager with an exciting and mostly winning team.

There are a few excellent teams in this division and we are one of them.

I can understand why Macca got MOM from most and some other brilliant performances but for me Romain gets my vote.
It’s so hard to choose between a lot of quality we have on the pitch so I’ll go for who we would miss the most if he’s not playing.

Great to see Nobes back even for a short time he will make our strength in depth in the middle even higher.

Happy days.

Should have been out of sight at half time. In the end we were struggling a tad as they were allowed to keep coming back at us. Having said that AJ had only one vital save to make and that was in the first half.
It would be so easy to choose the MOTM from between Elliot and Darren. Darren's speed is electric and Elliot seems to chase everything, a proper workhorse.
I think we will miss Jacob big time, I absolutely love this guy.
In the end an hard fought ugly win when it should have been a breeze.
My MOTM goes to Alhaji for his confident safe handling in the second half, which we needed. But could easily have gone to anyone on the pitch. Also I did like the look of Craig Braham- Barrett.
Chippenham could be another entirely different kettle of fish next week, again, no push-overs. Holding Havant??
And as for the 7-0 drubbing of Bath City by Wealdstone? What a cracker that could turn out to be at the end of next month.

[Trevor B]

Neck & neck Darren & Elliott for M.O.M. but my vote went to Elliott non stop running just about everywhere on the pitch, winning headers against much taller defenders, winning tackles, making telling passes, he just left me exhausted watching him, just not his day for scoring a goal.
But that's something Macca can enjoy if he doesn't win the M.O.M. at least he scored the winner.

I saw a picture of Elliot with MOM award? Or was I dreaming?

I think that’s the match sponsors on the day selection.
