Re: 50 years since winning the Southern League and reaching Wembley next season

We were a better footballing outfit than Morcambe that day but they hit us on the break twice and we were chasing the game..we got one back and I firmly believe that if we had equalised then we would have won it in extra time because we were fitter.
But it was a very memorable day.

Re: Dartford v Taunton Town Match postponed - Frozen pitch

Obviously the players safety is a priority.
Also as has already been stated Taunton have a long trip and needed to know about the postponement ASAP
We are not behind in our fixtures so no real damage done.

Re: Dartford v Hemel Hempstead Town Sat 14 Jan 2023

We are not going to win every game. But after our efforts over the holiday it seemed to me that we had the attitude that we just had to turn up. I am told that Hemel have a new manager and they obviously had a game plan. Too many Dartford players were not at the races today. Hopefully it was one off...

Re: Dartford v Ebbsfleet Sun 1 Jan 2023 @ 3pm

Well ,I go back to the 1950s with these Derby games against Gravesend & Northfleet (that was their title on them days.) I am happy to be corrected but I don't remember an aggregate of 8-1 for both games. There is a long way to go but I do like what Dowse and his coaching team have brought to the...

Re: Dartford v Ebbsfleet Sun 1 Jan 2023 @ 3pm

I am stuck at home with a nasty bug(not covid). But the lads have certainly made me feel a bit better. What a result and putting 8 goals past webbed feet in 2 games is one hell of a Christmas present. Long way to go but the season is a marathon not a sprint Super, super Darts . Dowson for president!!

Hi Trev,
I remember DFC reserves thumping Woodford Town 9-1 with a certain Mr John Ripley scoring double hat trick.

Re: Dartford v Ebbsfleet Sun 1 Jan 2023 @ 3pm

It will be a very tough game on Sunday.No doubt BOTH teams will be up for it.
I am sure that Dows will prepare the lads for battle though.
Mondays win was a brilliant result but for 90+ minutes we cannot take anything for granted .
SAME AGAIN PLEASE LADS!!

Re: Dartford v Ebbsfleet Sun 1 Jan 2023 @ 3pm

Great performance on boxing day, a win at a ground where it is never easy to get a result. On to Sunday and no doubt our oppo will be looking for revenge. I had settled for a possible play off place but the championship is not out of our reach . The league title looked an Ebbsfleet certainty a few w...

Can't make today's game but all the best to the Darts at Ebbsfleet.
It will be tough but I think that we can get a result if we play to our strengths.

Re: Havant & Waterlooville v Dartford Wed 14 Dec 2022

A very unexpected result for me.
Especially after Saturdays non event.

We can beat anyone in this league on our day .
It certainly makes up for Saturdays non event.
Well Done Wally and Luke.

Re: Dartford v Bath City Sat 10 Dec 2022 - 12.30pm Kick Off

I don't know what happened yesterday regarding our performance . It was like a training session. It must have been 15-20 minutes before the Bath keeper touched the ball. Awfully boring game which didn't improve. Bath were apparently without both of their 1st choice strikers yet they came closer to s...

Very poor from the Darts Awful match, those that didn't attend for whatever reason ...made the right choice. Apart from a couple of our players it was a pathetic performance by the Darts. Bath had the edge but were unable to take advantage. The most boring game I have seen at PP for many a year UTTE...

Re: Dartford v Concord Rangers Sat 26 Nov 2022

Regulation win against ordinary oppo. Our on loan keeper had very little to do except fish the ball.out of the net for ball to hand penalty decisions. We played well and did what was required. Samir was outstanding and took his goal well. Classic cock up for our 3rd goal....complete lack of communic...

Re: Farnborough v Dartford Sat 12 Nov 2022

Looking at our opponents goal difference they don't score or concede many , so this could be a tight affair.

Re: Dartford v Braintree Town Sat 5 Nov 2022

One of the many improvements with our squad is that we are not relying on one or two players to score the goals. Dowsons management is also impressive, after the anti football 1st half we were so much better at dealing with the negativity of our opponents in the 2nd period. To score 3 times with 10 ...
