Come on boys we can do this!! (He says half heartedly!)

[Mark Sweet]

If we manage to win tonight I might start looking up in the table rather than below us, however optimism isn't very high

They will hopefully be at least mentally drained and thinking of next round, no one wants an injury.
It’s a bit of a high so hopefully tonight will be hard to motivate themselves.

Billy Terrell on loan for the season from Bournemouth.

[DartfordHero]

Diarra has gone back to Barnet. Shambles

[MickW]

I think Diarra is a big loss.

Not going tonight for two reasons:-

1. Still feel rough and the fault of standing in the freezing cold for two hours getting bottles and coins lobbed at me did not seem to be a good option for my welfare.
2. I have never in all my fifty plus years of supporting the club have had such a disconnect from the playing side of things as i do now. We are an absolute F*****G shambles.

Sandford and Diarra gone, WTF is happening.
The squad changes every week, we've already used 79 players in the season and a half our "manager" has been here (80 in a few minutes time) and we wonder why we aren't consistent. I don't care if we go on and win every game until the end of the season my opinion will not change. I am totally sick to death of what is going on and don't even miss going to the games anymore. God knows how few will turn up tonight as EVERYONE I've spoken to who goes regularly aren't going. No game either on Saturday and i'm not really bothered.

WE NEED CHANGE NOW

Totally agree, we are an absolute shambles!

[Ajaxman DFC]

I said last year we've got a great spine in Alexander, Chin, Diarra and Sandford.
But 3 of them are not our players. Now Sandford has also gone.
Proper clubs get the nucleous of their sides together pre-season. Some even go to the other end of the country as part of a bonding session.
We've had players who are good individually but from day one this season we've never had a team.

[Harry]

Bizzare set of circumstances, reliant on loan signings and a ptched up squad from game to game.

Somehow I hope by good fortune we can manage a decent result tonight, it is really disappointing to see so many changes game to game, literally grasping at straws to see if it works.

[The Futures White]

Like others I too couldn't be arsed to make the effort and go down to Maidstone. My enthusiasm just wasn't there. Currently listening to commentary on
Radio Maidstone, sorry I meant Radio Kent....

Well said Park life.........
Win or lose tonight we are in a right mess.
I.was one of many who welcomed our new management team in but.........
Far,far too many loans and chopping and changing
Our team is all over the shop and the fans are simply not bothering
I.wont criticise our directors apart from the fact that they have given this manager a 2 year contract.
Who knows where we will be when Dowsons contract expires .

65 years a Darts fan and I have never felt so deflated.
