I was told by someone recently that Aveley are actually unbeaten away in the league this season and just looked and it appears that person was correct. Not that any game at the moment is an easy one but that only makes it more difficult

Unbeaten records have to end sometime.
Why not at Princes park this Saturday.

[The 5th Searcher]

After watching the highlights of the Hashtag match our defending looked absolutely shocking, whether that was the case or just in the highlights I don’t know as wasn’t at the match.

I only hope that it drastically improves though against Aveley otherwise we are likely to get beat. How Ady said it was a fantastic game and one of our best performances I honestly don’t know, I accept we couldn’t do much about their 2nd goal as it was a superb finish but we had a few chances to close them down and get tackles in which we just didn’t do and got punished for it yet again.

We need some major improvements all round in the teams performances otherwise we’ll start to slide and certainly won’t make the play off’s.

If Chatham win their match tonight away to Canvey then we’ll be 8pts behind them and they’ll still have a game in hand. We currently sit 4pts behind Aveley who have 2 games in hand over us.

Cray Wanderers are constantly picking up points so won’t be surprised to see them over take us soon as well taking us out of the play offs.

I only hope some big changes start to get made so that this team improves because I think there is only one direction we are likely to be moving in otherwise and that certainly isn’t up.

No doubt about this one. Aveley are playing with huge confidence after wins at Folkestone and Cray Wanderers. Attacking and defending well, it seems.
This is going to be a mammoth task to get anything from this game.
But achievable.

At the Ivy Leaf having a nice beer and burger before the game, got to be honest not expecting a result today against a good side how we I live in hope !

Colour me amazed at going a goal up after 10mins. But we are talking Dartford so we'll wait and see and hope. COYD'S

Should be three up. Hope we don't rue our misses.

Should be three up. Hope we don't rue our misses.

Agree Samir missed from 4 yards the pick of the bunch, we are playing well so far.

[Bagdhad Billy]

Folkestone losing again that could be no wins and 1 point from 4 games feels like a wobble to me !

[Lars Resort]

At least our drummer is trying to get some noise going.
