Re: Dartford v Ebbsfleet Tue 1 Feb 2022

This morning I am looking at the league table again and considering that the gap between ourselves and Dorking is maybe not insurmountable and noticing stuff like NOBODY else has lost fewer games than we have. Isn't it amazing how a couple of wins can really raise the spirits and change your whole p...

Re: Tonbridge Angels v Dartford Sat 29 Jan 2022

Well that was a huge improvement on Tuesday night and we thoroughly deserved the 3 points. A little bit shaky at the end there but I don't think anyone could argue with the result. Danny Leonard was at his exciting best and Jack Jebbalinho's free kick was world class. These two were the pick of the ...

Good question. I was wondering the same thing myself.

Re: Dartford v Concord Rangers Tue 25 Jan 2022 - KO 7.45

The 0-0 score-line makes it sound better than it was. Absolutely dreadful performance in which we showed no flair whatsoever. It was dull, lifeless dross from start to finish, without doubt the worst game I've seen under Steve King's reign. I have a lot of faith in Steve King and I know he has a gre...

Re: Dartford v Hampton & Richmond Sat 22nd Jan 2022 - 3pm

Come on M1 even you must have enjoyed those two lads up front running us ragged when they got the ball. Although a houseboat is still tempting. I don't mind giving credit where credit is due but did feel that if we'd got the next goal when going ahead on both occasions we'd have wrapped it up. But ...

Re: Dartford v Hampton & Richmond Sat 22nd Jan 2022 - 3pm

I thought going forward, we played very well in the first half and had lots of width and created loads of chances. Kalala and Leonard were doing an excellent job and if you give Jake chances you know he will score. That said, we can't rely entirely on Jake and we need a few more names on the scoresh...

Re: Player news

Irrespective of contracts and agreements, if a player wants to go, is it really worthwhile keeping them against their will? Good luck to Noor at Southend. I've heard people say things like we should have fought to keep him but at the end of the day, he was keen to go and I'd rather have players who ...

Re: Player news

Good Morning, Southend United fan here in peace. We have received some rumours that we are close to signing midfielder Noor Husin, I was wondering if any of you would be kind enough to give me some details of his game ie the way he plays, his strengths and weaknesses. Thanks in advance I would echo...

Dartford v Hampton & Richmond Sat 22nd Jan 2022 - 3pm

Back to league action and this week it's Hampton who visit Princes Park having lost 2-4 at home to Braintree last night. Here's hoping we come out firing like we did in the first half on Saturday. COYD.

Re: FA Trophy 4th round Dartford v Weymouth Sat 15 Jan 2022

Thought Ade's lob of the keeper looked very tight. Seemed to from behind the defender. I spent half an hour last night, freezing the frame and blowing up the picture but the angle on the video isn't perfect and it really was so tight that I still couldn't make my mind up. Thankfully it doesn't matt...

Re: Fa Trophy 5th round Needham Market v Dartford Sat 12 Feb 2022

I would have preferred a home game, but it could have been a lot worse and I suspect BOTH clubs will be reasonably happy with this draw. From Needham's perspective being drawn at home and not against one of the teams from the top tier is about as good as they could hope for and the Darts will feel t...

Re: FA Trophy 4th round Dartford v Weymouth Sat 15 Jan 2022

The match was a microcosm of the season so far with half-time representing the Sudbury game. Two halves that were so different it was hard to believe we were watching the same two teams. I think the same could be said about the officiating as the ref we had first half was doing a decent job but he s...

Re: Dartford v Dulwich Hamlet Saturday 8th January

Personally, I didn't think we were THAT bad in the first half or even THAT good in the second. For me, it was a fairly mediocre performance all afternoon and for the most part, I feared we were more likely to lose rather than win the game. Of course, my slightly pessimistic outlook yesterday was pro...

Re: Ebbsfleet v Dartford Sun 2nd January 2022

It was a much better performance against very strong opposition and whilst Ebbsfleet were mostly on the front foot Darts were always in the game and it really could have gone either way. I understand why some have said a draw would have been a fair result, but ultimately we lost the game because we ...

Re: Ebbsfleet v Dartford Sun 2nd January 2022

We've always had a healthy rivalry with the Fleet but it's never been hostile and I'm glad they haven't segregated the game. I remain convinced that segregation creates more problems than it solves. It's a massive game today and has always been the biggest derby game in my opinion. A real shame that...

Re: FA Trophy 4th round draw.

I was looking for confirmation of when the Darts v Weymouth game was being played and foolishly I initially went to our official website. I did already think it was the 15th Jan and other web sources have since confirmed that, but it's disappointing that our official site still shows Havant v Darts ...

I'm guessing it's the new 48 hour Omni-Con variant. It tends to only affect footballers who are already struggling with little knocks and niggles.
