Have to hold my hands up (and I hope a few others will too) to admit that I was maybe too soon to want a managerial change.
Whatever he has done to change our fortunes has clearly worked, and I just hope it continues.

Long way to go but I have to admit that we are shaping up nicely .
Folkestone is a tough place to go so well done Ade and the lads for bringing back the 3 points.9

Likewise I was feeling the management team were not right after our start but so glad they have turned it around ! Looking more for Dover to slip up than bottom half now days which is a great place to be
Still think this league isn’t won yet by anyone half way through the season

Well done lads.
Agree with others that I thought the season was a write-off after a dismal October. Quite a transformation since the start of November when we were 15th with 14 points from 11 games; 22 pts from 10 games since.
Reason to hope and to be looking upwards again. Maybe worth a diversion to Canvey Island next week when down South.

Taking in the conditions, weather, referee and the diving from the opposition. Callum, Josh, Luther and Denzelle put in excellent performances.
My MotM goes to Denzelle, brilliant.

Sounds like another hard fought win against 12 men. But onwards if we can keep the team fit. I like a settled side.

Well Done Darts on another excellent result which sounds like it was hard fought. The main thing is we got the 3pts in the bag and that’s all that matters.
Let’s keep it going.

A fantastic win on the road in terrible conditions. The wind was howling so if the ball went in the air you could not be sure where it would go and the pitch was bumpy with and muddy . That said it was always going to be q scrappy game.
First half both teams were poor but considering the conditions thats no surprise.
Second half we got better and better the longer the game went on . We had a stone wall penalty waved away by the incompetent ref , Callum was clean through 10 yards out and was brought down from behind. Unbelievably the ref waved play on .
We finally made the break through we deserved with Callum poking home from a Olarewaju cross

Impossible to play football in those conditions so you just have to dig in and grind out a result. That we did. Not much between the two teams but as is becoming the norm, Darts grew stronger towards the end. Team spirit, determination and fitness being the factors that just tipped the balance in our favour. The ref was pretty poor and we were robbed of a certain penalty but thankfully it didn't matter in the end. Great turnout from the travelling Darts and another very good day at the office.

More like 14 men, the ref and the two linesmen where as blind as a bat !
