Welling Utd v Dartford Sat 28 Feb 2026

[Bagdhad Billy]

Ady will see out the season as I’m sure we can’t afford to pay him off, unless there is a drastic change in form, tactics, selection we are going to be playing in this league again next season however I’m sure it is all part of the 5 year plan.

Year 1 fail in play offs
Year 2 loss youth support and finish top 10
Year 3 ?????

Well the result certainly matters more than the performance today . We were so poor with no quality, just hoofing the ball to wherever it landed . Fortunately Welling were worse although the incompetence of the officials helped then out . Second half we improved just enough to get the winner. I hope Welling go down , I will not miss their shit ground .

Wasn't looking forward to this game as we've been in poor form recently and with Bus Stop FC battling for survival and it being a local derby, it was a game i wasn't confident we'd get anything from. However what i didn't know was how bad they were going to be, without doubt the worse team i have seen this season. But to be fair for the vast majority of the game we were no better. It was another really poor game of football not helped by a very difficult pitch and so lacking in any quality.

First half a non event (getting use to that) but we did improve very slightly second half and that was more than enough to beat a really poor Bus Stop FC side.

Starting eleven would not have been my choice today and substitutions imo not great again, but it's a game of opinions and we won so what do i know.
However the one player who looked the most comfortable on the ball was subbed (Dan Carter) and why sub your top scorer (Oly) when your chasing a goal? Certainly no tactical masterclass, I just think we got lucky today.

The general opinion seems to be that George was fit to play today but was left out, no doubt there will be some "explanation" as to why but does ANYONE think that's a good decision??

Footballs a funny old game that takes you through every emotion in the book.
So whilst i understand the excitement with the last gasp winner and the importance of that goal, i left the ground today feeling very fortunate and embarrassed. Fortunate that they were so bad because had we faced anyone half decent it cold have been very different, and also embarrassed by the celebrations at the end....

MOTM for me, Dan Carter.

I hope the “yoof “ behaved ok today, first half was fine I was to the left of them in the second half. I thought their constant singing, and anyone who joined in, did very well at that soulless shitehole. I couldn’t see them all all of the time, but I thought they were excellent today and so pleased they were there.

They had a lot of singing to make up for as we don’t allow them into home games so away games are their only opportunity .

How many Darts fans do we think today from the 1500 crowd?

As already mentioned, totally get the excitement with the late winner and the importance of the goal, but we'd just scraped home against the worse team I've seen and the way "some" were celebrating you'd think we'd won the league. A bit over the top imo, maybe my expectation levels are higher than others....

Agreed. Goal felt extra sweet due to the circumstances but the performance/current standings definitely didn’t warrant the FT celebrations imo.
