The Dart(s) Board

I wish I could have a fecking holiday!

….but I agree, lovely words about Connor

There is a verry good piece on kentonline about Connor Essam from dowse. Also maybe good news on Coulson re-signing for Dartford next season. IMO a must signing https://www.kentonline.co.uk/dartford/sport/dowson-gutted-to-lose-essam-287867/ It’s never good news until it’s formalised and announced (...

What makes you think that mate? Heard something?

Nope!

Big news incoming this week!

So, by my reckoning, we’re still waiting to hear news of:
Bonner
Dudzinski
Meade
Coulson
Fonkeu
Sheringham

A little surprised with this one, I thought Alex may have been released. Hopefully he can stay fit this season and may possibly work well with Harvey. I guess with Alex, Harvey & Lewis as our strikers things may not be looking quite so good for Charlie. I really hope I’m wrong as Sheringham wou...

Yes, good news but no other news. That’s very worrying!

Just seen Samir first interview for Chelmsford, He says they talked as soon as the season finished and in fact they tried to make it happen before the start of last season, So I would imagine it was a done deal that he would leave before the season ended so Dowse had no chance of making him stay, H...

Samir did well for us but is not irreplaceable. The fact that he has signed for a club that finished below is in the league - and signed so early in the close season - says it all that this is his level. If we want to progress we need to sign players who can be good at National League level not jou...

Nobody knows what he was offered by either club. My bet is he got greedy and took the slightly better offer Chelmo made after we rejected his inflated request. Players can be very mercenary - trust me!

I would probably have offered Samir another deal as well because on his day he's a good player, but if he's gone for a better deal then that's his choice. However as DA1 said he started the season well but didn't look fit second half and struggled to last 90 mins and when he did start was subbed a ...

Harvey will be with us next season. The game - yes we played well but, stating the obvious, it’s about taking chances in a game that was always going to be tight. We didn’t, even when, in ET, St Albans were out on their feet. Good performance as a whole yesterday. The stakes were high and there had ...

I don’t think any one of us expected us to challenge for promotion when the season began. Dowse had unforced limitations and did incredibly well, overall, to get us to second place. His remit was ‘play offs’ and he achieved that. No complaints. The big test is from here on in. Beginning on Tuesday ...

Unlike that Parky who never really moved on from Hackney Marshes!

I thought it was a fair tackle as well.

So did I and, as you know, I’m an ex-referee!!

Good crowd for them! But felt a little Dulwich Hamlety to me only with less dogs & babies present!! No chance of getting a drink at either bar though, should have stayed in the pub longer pre-match!! Onto next Sunday, Snorbans I quite like & respect but don’t get me started on Chelmo!! Brin...

Sorry guys, resting players, eh!? Madness (unless resting players carrying injuries gives them time to recover). Taking momentum into play-off’s is key (same in any sport). Play our strongest team (barring those injured of course!)

Yep, got mine. Who’d we want to play? For me, bring Braintree on in the SF and Chelmsford in the Final. We owe them both!

Can't remember who said that SA's goal was a 'good one'. To me it was a rather fortunate one, he had his back to the goal and really didn't know where he was. It was the way he improvised and adjusted in flight to flick the ball to the left of Ben. Very good strikers goal. The lad’s class - sign hi...

Ecstatic and bewildered - that’s been the season so far! Obviously ecstatic that we’ve secured second spot and showed yesterday, particularly in the 2nd half, what we can do. Bewildered that we failed so miserably at times to beat lower placed teams, especially over the two last Thursdays. Time to b...
