Re: Who do the real Dartford Fans want as the new Manager ?

Dowson, all day long! Anyone saying he talks with foreign tongue are being northist and that’s bang out of order😂. DFC have some real fans from the north 👍. Sorry, I don’t know Jamie Day. Bobby Wilkinson would be a good choice but he won’t leave Bracknell (though was gagging for the job when Kingy ...

Re: Steve King

It’ll be Auf Wiedersehen, Pet to Dennis if Ebbsfleet don’t win them the League next season!!!

Let’s worry about what we’re doing than what’s going on down the road. Far more important (and interesting) after all.

What I find totally bewildering about said post is that it hasn’t appeared on any of DFC’s socials yet the individual chose to post those comments on a rival clubs forum 🤔. Beggars belief!! It was not posted on a rivals club forum it was posted on the national league south forum. Ah, righto, my apo...

Re: Steve King

Opinion is certainly split on this one! What’s done, rightly or wrongly, is done. Superb rallying cry by Kebabus earlier in this thread - we must now move on and we all await, expectantly, for the Club to announce the appointment of SK’s successor. Before that though, our thanks to Kingy for his har...

Re: Steve King

Agree with that Kev. At the very least the Club Announcement could and should have offered the Clubs thanks for the work Steve did and for sorting out the shambles created by his predecessors. One can only imagine that there’s been a falling out behind the scenes. Still in shock at such a major deci...

Re: Kent Senior Cup Final - Dartford v Folkestone Invicta Tue 17 May 2022

Great to end the season on a high and dampen some of the play-off disappointment. Impressed with the academy right back I have to say (Mansaray) - deserved his goal and gets my MoM vote marginally ahead of Carruthers.

Well done lads.

Re: Should we go full time if the finances allow?

We can go up as a part-time club but would need to implement a very different business model to operate at National League level (I.e. full-time).

So far as attendances are concerned, we already attract bigger crowds than many at National League level and that certainly isn’t an issue.

Re: Dartford v Chippenham Thu 12 May 2022 19:45

Seems completely ridiculous that we’re debating a change of manager on here. Steve King is the best of the best at this level and, for sure, will be working extra hard next season to take us one step further. We have no divine right to promotion. It was always going to be a tough season and it prove...

Re: Dartford v Chippenham Thu 12 May 2022 19:45

Disappointing result, enough said. This, however, is not the time to take knee-jerk action by replacing the manager, who is after all contracted through to 2024. Totally accept comments about chopping and changing the line up week after week. We need Kingy to assemble a squad of players that will do...

…or have Kent FA handed Ebbsfleet an advantage. Bloody awful scheduling either way if you ask me! Did we agree to this date or were we given no choice?

Wow!! A double salvo from the Smith brothers, I know I've touched a nerve. Duke, I'm not questioning Tom's quality as a player, especially Saturday. other players were FAR worse. and it is just my opinion that Tom shouldn't be around next season. DartfordHero, another season!1 I do hope not. Sleigh...

Re: Dartford v Braintree Town Mon 2 May 2022

Can’t believe Ozy is having a pop at Tom. I shudder to think what the score would have been without his valiant effort. Not just yesterday has he come to our rescue. I guess we all have a player we ‘love to hate’ and Tom may be Ozy’s. But I don’t get it. It’s way off the mark in my humble opinion. ...

Tbh we had no answer to the way Braintree played. They just played for corners and throw ins. They won nearly every first ball snd almost all the second balls We missed Kiaran massively and there should have been a place for greenidge somewhere in the this game I am glad to be in the playoffs but c...

Ozymandias - that’s an insult to Sunday League mate. Cookie did play well, Captain Tom wore his heart on his sleeve as usual(got my MoM vote). Jack Jebb tried to make things happen. Unfortunately, too many journeymen in the team that likely won’t be with us next season!! I too didn’t hang around at ...
