Re: Pre season friendly Canvey Island v Dartford Sat 30th July 2022 at 3pm
Unfortunately Peter, its too much for some people to accept that SK has gone. I certainly won't miss his revolving door policy and running a team that was detached from the rest of the club.

Re: NEW FIRST TEAM MANAGER: ALAN DOWSON
Makes a change to have a manager with a sense of humour.

Re: Dartford Players of The Past
Does anyone remember Roger Keen our goalkeeper back in the 70's. If so, can you give me a little information on him? I have a neighbour who having found out a I was a supporter, suddenly sprung it on me that Roger is her Nephew. She says he now lives in Poole. I do remember him playing but have pas...

Re: Dartford Players of The Past
Good luck to Jebb, I wouldn't mind swapping him out with Darren Oldaker. As for Wilks, if Welling sign him ahead of us then it can only be for more dosh. Looks like our friends from the Bustop will be looking at the playoffs next season.

Re: NEW FIRST TEAM MANAGER: ALAN DOWSON
I'm going to be optimistic and say that TB and the board have already spoken with most of the players and that we will see quite a few remain with the club.

Re: Who do the real Dartford Fans want as the new Manager ?
Alan Dowson or Chris Kinnear for me, both have great contacts and develop young players. We need a manager with the emphasis on a team ethic. If we decide on a young manager, who can help develop our academy, then I would go for Bobby Wilkinson.

Re: Steve King
I'm still gobsmacked that SK has gone but I do trust our excellent board to make the correct call, in the best interests of our great club. I have known some of these guys for over 40 years and they would not have come to this decision without good reason. For them to come to this decision, in such ...

Re: Steve King
King's contract ran until the end of the 23/24 season, so there must have been a seriously good reason to sack him. Obviously we aren't privy to what's gone on behind the scenes (until the club's further statement), but purely based on performances I think this is a harsh dismissal. King's league r...

Re: Steve King
Hess has not been replaced, he is still their manager. I just pointed out that their website had listed Dowson as manager. I think someone was on a wind-up.ozymandias wrote: ↑Wed May 25, 2022 4:50 pm More surprised that Hess has been replaced than Kingy has gone. But 2+2 still equals 3 in my opinion as regards that.

Re: Steve King
I thought Andy Hessenthaler was Dover manager https://www.doverathletic.com/staff/andy-hessenthaler/ No idea who it is going to be, whoever it is won't have the player contacts as well as King does so we are going to lose the majoirty of our squad and it's going to be one hell of a rebuild. So did ...

Re: Should we go full time if the finances allow?
What exactly is "full time"? Looking at a couple of teams who finished above us, they appear to train 3 mornings per week as opposed to our 2 evenings per week. This doesn't seem too much of a step up but if this results in a 5% increase on performances and results, then I'm all for it. Th...

Re: Dartford v Chippenham Thu 12 May 2022 19:45
I didn't think we played as bad as some of the posts suggest and I would have started with more or less the same team, maybe, I would started without our holding midfield player. Unfortunately, we up against a team who have probably got the best fullbacks in this division and a team who put their bo...

Re: Dartford v Chippenham Thu 12 May 2022 19:45
Have to agree with Gregg, as long as there are not wholesale changes from the Eastbourne lineup and if we play anywhere near the level as Saturday we will be fine.
Time to get behind the boys, as per Chipps supporter below.

Re: Eastbourne v Dartford Sat 7 May 2022
What a day out that was and the team performance wasn't too bad either. I couldn't name my man of the match as there were good performances all over the pitch. It was good to see Dan back in the fold and he just gave us that additional balance down the left side. As for some of those balls played by...

Re: Eastbourne v Dartford Sat 7 May 2022
What watering hole will pre-drinks take place at? Looking to get there early for this game and who knows, we might clinch that all important 3rd place. Let's all stand together behind the goal for this one.
