Spike Luke Allen was injured I was told. Marmite I dont know why the experts dont put themselves forward for the job. Yes I understand paying customers should be able to have their say but I thought they are more than that they are supporters. Look Arthur gets pissed I know and a bit of a string but in all honesty he has been approached by around half a dozen people saying keep on Arthur it balances it up. People just moan. There are a number who do give a balanced report/reflection on here but in all sincerity I do believe that some were really hoping for the boys to fail. Now lets get this right the opening four ties have not resulted as anyone would have wished but do you ozymandias think they dont know that. Do you Ozymandias not think that they may not be feeling the pain. Going home to family with pressure. Yes we can all say well they took the job. And why did they Ozy. Because they love the club. Its four games just four games. I've got concerns. I was very downbeat in fact. But as I always say dont post it on here. Grow some and talk to them. For me I will do that. Have a conversation. Say I'm worried but you still have my support. And if anyone dare come back to me and say why are you supporting them why come on here and say what you say. Remember it's my opinion. Remember the forum adage

This was one of the weakest Chelmsford sides I have seen for some time so the final result shows just how bad we were with yet another game following along the same lines as the previous ones with one man standing out giving 100% winning everything up front and no one there to support him.
Adam had the fans behind him and could see his frustration and it didn't help with the referee giving him no protection as their 5 & 6 got stuck in at every opportunity but chose instead to book him.
This resulted in one of the only actions that I can understand by our management team this season when they rightly made the decision to substitute Adam to avoid him getting sent off.
Needless to say very disappointed with the overall performance of the team again and something needs to be changed and quickly as I think we have a squad of players stronger than last season (injuries accepted) but we are sadly lacking the right team selections and tactics to score goals and win games.
No need to mention my M.O.M.

I like many others thought that we may be ok this season with the squad we had pulled together, then along came the injuries but last night was just terrible.
As others have said Adam won every single long ball and flicked it on where was the other striker waiting for the run on to the ball?
What looked positive was seeing McQueen and Flisher going through some intense workouts tonight and hope they will be back fit soon.
Last season our defence look strong at times, I wonder what Ronnie thinks he has done wrong to be sat on the bench.

Oh well on to Saturday hopefully which will see Lee Noble back in the midfield!

At the end of the season before last we finished equal top on points, scoring loads more goals than anyone and had good cup runs, only a hooky game and a shootout saw us not get promoted - but the moaners shouted it wasn't good enough, couldn't get any worse and TB had to go - so he did

Constant whining and criticism does get people down and demoralise them and affects performance and results, if you don't understand that you don't understand much.

Well, this time last year you all said it was right to change and after a poor start we should give the new manager(s) who are here because of you moaners a go.

So here we are again, more of the same all round. Let's face it, if you've been moaning for ten years you won't stop ever so well done in helping turn a feared team into a laughing stock,may as well give them another go, you'll keep slagging them anyway.

Maybe it wasn’t clear what some meant by change. To have the departing manager as director of football, listen to his podcast, and with the say TB has in quite a few things added with that 2 Dartford old boys hired who didn’t do that great at their old clubs. This is not the change that some asked for. For me TB would be better in the hot seat but change was meant a fresh change, with a manager making his own decisions with out the clubs appointed director of football

Luke Allen was definitely injured on Saturday. I'm surprised people didn't notice, because at first I thought he would have to come off but after about ten minutes he appeared to run the injury off. No doubt it tightened up after the game.

Very disappointing we looked much the better team first half and if Norman could have tucked that chance away just before half time things may have panned out differently but once they got their noses in front we folded. Jordan's silly challenge looked a straight red from where I was standing and Adam C was wisely taken off as Chelmsford worked hard to get him a second yellow card. Dartford are not a sacking club so Jamie and Adam Flan will remain until the end of the season come what may. Its still early days only 4 games in and we have much better players than last season but injuries have knocked us back, things will surely get better once they have a fully fit squad to choose from.

Spot on....OBC is really holding the Club back.I went against St Albans and the place felt soulless,crowds going down NO direction.And on field a one man team.....AC!

To be honest our run from last season into this is so dismal and the reasons and excuses why that come out are silly.
It’s been an issue for a while.

As someone said I’m sure the managers care a lot and are hurting. I’m sure most of the players too. I’m sure they’re all desperate to put it right.

It’s been suggested by a few that some fans are wanting to fail. TB said this once too.
I can’t believe this for a second , why would you spend your money, spend your time and get emotionally involved if you didn’t want the team to be successful. It’s barmy.

I hope the team go on a great run, everyone says how great J and A are and the board made the right decision.i want to win every game what is impossible but I certainly want to compete in every game.

While I have an opinion on selection, management and the influence and role of the ex manager at the club a I will always,always support the team above everything and hope the managers are successful for the supporters and for themselves.

It’s shite, but there’s a long way to go.

Kentc I totally get your point about paying money etc.. and I do get the point about people having their say that's perfect. But read the blasts. I cant prove it but they are very quick to criticise. But sometimes calling them different names i cant remember right now without looking back that is boy scout behaviour. I you we everybody is feeling down after the opening set of matches management included but as I continually say this i dont believe it is right to put rhetorical statements on here. Look I am aware I will be lambasted for dare making that suggestion, however 2 years ago I purely by chance had a half hour chat with TB in the upstairs bar. I put a point or two across and he gave me his ideas and thoughts back. At the end of that I felt yes great I get it. What was the wartime saying jaw jaw is better than war war. Hey forget people saying Arthur is backing them up. Arthur will do what he likes. You can say what you like that's fine no problem. However I think whether right or wrong some of the wording on here is wrong and especially wrong when they dont have the right to reply. I have many opinions and concerns, and do you know what I will ask them.

I think Laurel and Hardy should have gone at the end of last season and someone like Chris Kinnear should have been brought in who understands football at this level and what type of players are required to get us promotion.
2 points out of a possible 12 is relegation form, and for a club of our size at non league level is unacceptable.
I don't think it helps that Tony Burman is still involved with the club and should have cut his links with the club when he quit as manager.
