Re: Dartford v Weymouth Sat 27 Jan 2024

I would like to see TB go 4-4-2 as well PL but do you think we have the player’s to pull it off. With Brandon back, at least we now have 2 natural wide players. With that in mind and the recent performance at M@id$ton£ from Miller-Rodney & Rooney, that would be the 4 across midfield. Whoever pla...

Re: Dartford Players of The Past

Harvey had a good first season, this time around he wasn't the same player, probably for the reasons stated by PL. I just wonder whether we are now cutting our cloth with the budget to pay off our ex manager, I would like to think that isn't the case and a replacement will be arriving quite soon.

Re: New Manager.

I was wondering about his company car as well. No doubt it will all come out on his soon to be released exit interview with one of the local tabloids.

Re: New Manager.

I'm hoping for a younger manager with all the latest UEFA badges and someone who has a good pedigree. We need someone with new ideas who can develop players from our academy right through to the first team and there is one stand out candidate. He served under the Cowley Brothers for a few season's, ...

Re: Maidstone v Dartford Tue 9 Jan 2024

The players gave it everything, you can't ask for more or even fault them in the way they played tonight. In fact, we should have killed the game off with that golden chance midway through the second half. The turning point in the game was down to our new keeper, who had a solid game. He started tim...

Re: Dartford v Welling Utd Sat 30 Dec 2023

On the way driving home I was quite content until Dowse's interview. Unlike the Welling manager, he came across very poorly and once he mentioned the B word, injuries, facility issues and the fact that he has only have 1 bad year in 20 at managing, then by this point my blood was boiling. However, h...

Re: Player news

Great signing and not really a surprise after hearing that King'a Lynn are in a financial mess. I also hear that Blocky is almost ready to return as well. :lol:

Re: Welling Utd v Dartford Tue 26 Dec 2023 @ 1pm

Looks like Dowse has gone for an additional man in the middle of the park in Rooney, leaving Luke Allen to bridge the gap to young George up front. Is this damage limitation or is Dowse looking to smash and grab, only time will tell. At least it looks more like a plan today. COYD.

Re: Welling Utd v Dartford Tue 26 Dec 2023 @ 1pm

Please start my Boxing Day off on a happy note by telling me that Mr. Chin has an extended loan period. We so need his energy on the pitch. Let's hope so Phil, better still, play Chin where he is most effective and keep him there and none of that nonsense of letting him play inside. Would also like...

Re: Dartford v St Albans City Sat 23 Dec 2023

I wish that Dowse would do the honorable thing and resign. His brand of football is quite literally sucking the life out of our great club and the longer he stays on board the more damage he is going to cause. Time for a reset and ask Skip Sawyer to join TB until we can find a suitable replacement a...

Very disappointed to hear about this, he was in last year's Conference South team of the season. I know who I would like to see pass through that revolving door!

Re: Tonbridge Angels v Dartford Sat 16 Dec 2023

Just watched Tonbridge's excellent highlights on You Tube ( sorry I don't know how to transfer them onto this site), but a very strange incident in the 2nd half when Harvey appears to put a Tonbridge player in hospital with his elbow. Mo Diarra then appears to remonstrate with Harvey Bradbury and g...

Re: Tonbridge Angels v Dartford Sat 16 Dec 2023

I didn't feel confident before the game, then hearing that Luke Coulsen wasn't available left me feeling really down before the ball had been kicked. Although we had most of the possession, I can't recall us having a shot on target, which in itself is bordering on the unacceptable. I have to agree w...
