Burgess Hill Town v Dartford Sat 24 Jan 2026

[Kermo18]

Best performance I’ve seen from a ref all season.
Other than that, dreadful and predictable as usual.
Can predict the subs 5 minutes before they are made.
Tactics consist of sideways, sideways, backwards and then hoof!
Ady not allowed on the bench as he had the wrong shoes, how amateur is that!
Can’t wait for the meeting next Monday, the 5 year plan 2.0
Starts now

Shit

As usual

But I'll be told to piss off because I'm not part of the positive brigade.

Like a recurring bad smell …….. how much praise did you give when we played so well last week ?

MS - you going to DFC AGM. Sure wine is here would like to discuss matters with you

[Lars Resort]

It's turning into the MS show. I'm off.

[Sleightly Deceptive]

Me too. I’m sick and tired of people quoting what the c*nt says so I can still see it. If he ain’t gonna be banned then this place ain’t for me. Don’t give me that free speech bollocks, he has absolutely nothing to give this place and it’s becoming tedious and predictable. See ya all on Turnstile 3

Someone mentioned a striker. We have one. He gets about 15 mins if we’re/he’s lucky. DSane starts, for me, every week. Pennock has no Plan B. Not even sure he has a Plan A.

[Jonty]

I agree, he needs to go now, clearly not a DFC supporter. I don’t want to see his posts quoted as he is on my banned list. He should be more concerned about his team in £23 million plus debt and racking up a 36k per week loss.

[Undercover Elephant]

Sorry nothing positive to say for me today, we are rubbish and I have to say I have zero confidence in the board being able to get us back to where we need to be!

And I think we will miss out on the playoffs as we are missing two or three quality players…..

This one person one vote isn’t working and time to look at outside investment sell the club and bring in a money man, and before someone says we don’t own the ground neither does Folkestone and look where they are!

[Kermo18]

Still, at least the traffic around dartford whilst trying to get home has made the day slightly more bearable

[Park Life]

Nothing to do with the game but i'm amazed people are STILL responding and taking the bait.
Someone is sitting at home pissing their pants week after week as you keep giving him what he wants, RECOGNITION.
The only way to win is to totally ignore it but i've suggested that a long while ago but here we still are........

I will never comment on this again.

Thanks for the one bright spot of the afternoon Kev.
Been hoping for a bit of consistency and positivity to justify traveling down, but it's looking not to be again. At least I enjoyed a local footie fix with Matlock Town bearing Blyth Spartans

[Park Life]

We were the better side first half and whilst we never dominated we had the lions share of play but gave away another poor goal.
We went in level at HT after a super strike from Denzelle but in all honesty i'm struggling to remember their keeper having to make a save.

Second half you would have thought we'd have come out with our tails up and took the game to them but they started the half better and it wasn't a big surprise when they took the lead.

After the sending off we did take the game to them but we just don't create much in open play. We did have two decent chances second half both going wide but for the entire second half, i can't recall a single effort on target.

I predicted the first two subs 10 minutes before they were made (not difficult) as we tend to do like for like most weeks and rarely seem to change anything tactically. It's not surprising though as i don't think we have any real different options, nobody with real pace to get behind opponents or an attacking wide player.

Not a fan of having a goalkeeper as captain because they're too far away to have much influence, but i'm not sure who i would make captain as i don't think we have a real leader/captain in our squad.

On our day we have shown we are a match for anyone in this division so the players also have to take some responsibility for our inconsistency.

Plenty of huff & puff again and we are still in the play off positions but i'm not enjoying it and it just feels flat on the terraces.
Maybe that's because the expectation of the club, seems to be way lower than mine.

[Paulcanary]

Apologies if I posted a certain persons comments
- I was just frustrated and angry with this person. I’ll constructively criticise my team when it is needed just like I praise them like last week. Could the person running this forum please remove him - surely that’s easy - we don’t need people like this and if I can’t comment on his anti dartford comments then then we have lost the plot

[Ring of fire]

It feels like the DFC AGM / Fans' Forum have already kicked off, with men and women supporters' views, having been heard on a wide variety of issues, for some time now, including at today's Away game.
Let's wait to hear'em, for the good and future of our DFC. Its football shortcomings, day - to - day running and potentials throughout, as well as the challenges and absolutely consistent energy needed to reach our ultimate goals. This, to rival the bests of what we now witness elsewhere at this level and above, some of whom we once looked down on, as small minor clubs but have now become major successes, even in the football league!
We can do and should do so much better than through this current climate and organisational weaknesses.

[WillDfc42]

Can’t comment on performance but what a disappointing result that is. Biggest surprise for me was seeing a certain someone actually being substituted off late in the game Very concerning we failed to break down 10 men

[Babylon]

Disappointed at another loss but not surprised.
I only go to home.games but wether it is the budget or some other reason we look like a top half side but not promotion candidates imho.

Tin hat on but that is how I see it.

[DA Mikey]

I’m sure Burgess Hill are a reasonably good IPL side and we have no divine right to be any higher than this level but it still feels wrong to see DFC fitting in so serviceably here.
Maybe we can do a Dover, sneak into the playoff final and make NLS survival our 26/27 target.
We have got a fairly good team but it’s not setting this division on fire by a long chalk.

[ozymandias]

It is slightly un-nerving that we play good one week and crap the next. As said, teams are now piling up behind us. I truly can't see a play-off position this season. We are stuttering along with no consistence. It's a shame because we had such high hopes. I shall be at the Brentwood game next week with a bit of worry on the score. But then I had a bit of worry over the Aveley game too.

No it’s all fair comment imo

Absolutely have no divine right, what haunts me to today is how we got here and all the things wrong with the last season in NLS. I’m not going to go into details, or names , we all know it all. But it still hurts me to this day, it should have never happened.
Now we are where we are and if we have a small budget as it’s been alluded to , then we have a huge problem.
