What a load!!
Worst bunch of so called footballers to wear Our shirts
since the dark days of Garry Julians clowns!

No point moaning people. The change from TB was what most of you wanted remember?
Time to support the club, managers and players and get back to winning ways.
These are not bad players. A bit of luck and confidence and I've no doubt will we be back on the top half and challenging for the playoffs again.

Isaac at RB. Really Don't blame. The player blame JC the manager first half Isaac kept looking at manager for approval to say well done got defenders in team or on bench seems to me players he brings in have to start

Last year the team scored comfortably more goals than any other in the league and no team won more games or got more points than Dartford, only a fix from Thurrock stopped them going up. Last year was to all purpose a league winning side.
If anybody doesn't like what it is this year, ask again those who thought last year was so bad it had to be changed why they did it, because it is down to them.
Well done, team ruined for the forseeable.

So its the fans fault NOT the Boards or the 2 Managers in charge , TB did a great overall job during his 10+ seasons tenure but after the final 5 seasons contained 2 relegations and 3 non achieving promotions then I think he had a fair crack and fans [ incl me ] were expecting a Managerial appointment that would build on the solid base he left BUT [ quite rightly] had no effect on who the Board chose as his successor !!!!

The truth is that many genuine Dart fans are questioning the " Managerial " decisions being made especially surrounding the two quality players released and the influx of short term Loanees ????????

Game by game, it is becoming more and more obvious that the appointment of our Joint Managers is not working out at all!

It would appear that Chris Kinnear is looking for a job due to his departure from Dover, and I would be delighted to see him appointed as our new Manager.

In my opinion, he would be an ideal choice as it needs somebody with extensive National League experience to sort out this present shambles at Dartford Football Club!

This present chaotic situation needs swift action otherwise we will be looking at relegation at the end of the season.

Today was so so bad. Sunday morning football. However there are many contributary factors. They have to be given time. Fans need to do this. I go online though to say one point. It has been rumoured that Ryan Hayes has been made available to clubs on loan. We should take Ryan back now. What a great. What a footballer. What a legend. I want to go on and on but simply GET HIM BACK

With all the cash given to the " Comedian " in charge at Ebbsfleet and their performances and lack of points this season they might just fancy seeing what Chris Kinnear could do with a decent budget ??

As for Hayes coming back , well Concord don't seem to want him [ evidently NOT even in squad today ?] so based on what we have currently I agree that [ even he] could only be an improvement !!!!

This was absolute crap, only two players that performed with any sort of distinction Bradders & Nobes otherwise the rest were as you might say not fit for purpose that being playing for Dartford.
What do you expect from a mixture of loanee players and those that have been signed on who are well below the standards we have come to expect from those pulling on a Darts shirt, no passion or pride and their hearts are not in it for the team and add to that a couple of regulars in defence that had very off days.
Today we didn't play football just back to lumping the ball and we couldn't string two passes together so an early let off saw the opposition hit the bar and then they break away and score before half time, but we did hold out a slight hope as we also saw a shot hit the corner of the bar/post and the subsequent soft header into the keepers arms plus Sheringhams soft shot cleared off of the line.
Second half all one way as we attempted to push up and the result was breakaway runs by Oxford unchallenged and three more goals before Bradders got one for us.
Couple that with Sheringham being substituted for Yorke just to give the fans the only thing to laugh about in the whole game.
The management has a lot to answer for before the next game or better still resign now because they are not up to the job and won't with Concord/Welling style loanee's and tactics.
Along with a lot of other fans I spoke to it's probably my last away game for a while and it's a case of just going through the motions at home games using up the season ticket more for the social time in the bar before the game with other loyal fans rather than going out on the terrace behind the goal to witness more crap on the pitch.

I optimistically believed we were improving but after watching yesterdays second half debacle clearly we are not. Dropping Ronnie Vint appears to be a tactical masterstroke. First half it could be argued we were unlucky with Ben hitting the bar and Charlie failing to put away a decent chance, yes I know they hit the bar when it appeared easier to score but Oxford wanted it second half and despite our old war horses trying to keep us in the game Oxford took their chances and out we go. On the face of it Flanners and Jamie were the right men for the job but their choice of players has been somewhat suspect and does dual management ever work? Dartford were never going to take a chance on an outsider. Tom Bonner showed good manners and courtesy in apologising to us on the supporters coach and what else can we do but continue to support our Team and hope they get it right.
