Re: Dartford v Maidstone Utd Sat 16 Mar 2024

Jeez 🙄 the forum certainly is not for the faint hearted today and tin hats are highly recommended 🤣 I’m not going to pin blame on any individual because it is after all a team game . Billy’s sending off was justified, but it was a decision he had to make , because at two down it would have been game...

Re: Last 10 games

Braintree A Maidstone H Hemel H Truro A Chelmo A Eastbourne H Havant A Worthing H Yeovil A Truro H I predict eight points - wins against Hemel & Truro (H) and draws against Eastbourne & Worthing. Don’t expect any points away as I’ve only seen us take three at Dover (which doesn’t really cou...

Re: New Manager.

Ultimately, it is what Ade does at Dartford that counts for me. Exactly! 👍 KC mentions a “mixed bag of experience “and MS Hopes we get the “Barrow version instead of the Gillingham version” Basically any manager can have a mixed bag of achievements ( even Dowse had his successes) Tony took us to th...

Re: Dartford v Chippenham Town Tue 13 Feb 2024

Am i alone in thinking that Shomotun looked easy to play against? Let him go down the line because he has no right foot, and ensure that when he cuts inside there’s always an opponent in the way? He barely beat his man all night yet won man of the match. And he was our only outlet. Sounds a bit lik...

Re: Tonbridge Angels v Dartford Sat 16 Dec 2023

Dear me.😟. Who can we vote for this week? We can't play like we did against Torquay one week and take a shalacking the next. But somehow we manage it. Time after time. Bloody awful. :shock: There’s been games this season when we could have been 4 or 5 goals down by HT but for a combination of poor ...

Re: Dartford v Braintree Town Tue 21 Nov 2023

I know it's from a different time, but there was a time when the likes of Bradbrook, Noble, Ibrahim, Hayes, Harris, Burns etc. pulled on a Dartford shirt and it was an exciting atmosphere with players putting in performances that left nothing out. They gave it their all. The facts are that the foot...

Re: Dartford v Braintree Town Tue 21 Nov 2023

Stick some kids in at least they will care about the shirt! Will they be allowed to play? Or will they be alienated and have to sign up to a membership before being allowed inside the stadium People can ask questions of Dowse all they want and hypothesise that the drop in attendance is down to him ...

Re: FA Trophy 2nd Qualifying Round - Dartford v Maidstone Sat Nov 18 2023

Missed this due to work but not a bad result, expected worse. Honestly without the circus worthing defence it would of been another loss. We are just a mid table team, let’s just accept it Yep this is where we’re at when a 1-0 loss at home to the boneheads who are no great shakes themselves, is acc...

Re: FA Cup 2nd Qualifying Round - Dartford v Welling Sat 16 Sep 2023

Our past successes have been built on stability. Not by sacking managers every other season. It's not the Dartford way. Steve King and Alan Dowson are two top managers. So what's the point in bringing in yet another successful manager at this level. The club will just be wasting the man's time. The...

Have to mention the young wannabe football thugs , all around 11 or 12 years of age who somehow think verbally abusing an elderly welling fan was a cool thing to do ( their language was vile to say the least ) Not sure how they managed to get in on their own unless DFC have relaxed the rules on unat...

Wellings third goal was the sort of goal the Darts were scoring a few seasons ago .Oh for the “Darcelona ” of yesteryear instead of The Dog and Duck hoofball hit and hope garbage we’ve been subjected to so far this season . Talk of budgets and players injured is just paving over the obvious cracks i...

Re: Dartford v Farnborough Sat 19 Aug 2023

It says a lot about the team when your at home and play one up front and your goalkeeper is getting the MOTM ???lacking in belief and confidence this early in the season is not a good sign .
