The Dart(s) Board

Feel like crap but just made it.
Hopefully the performance will make me feel better.

0-0 so far. We are lacking a Bradbrook/Noble punch/influence and have no width ?

Just my view - any other thoughts from those who are here ?

Don't think dowse was happy with marvin stopping for selfies game changed when Charlie came on but it seemed all players gave everything today shame they scored but onto Tuesday

Win is the main thing, a good second half from the lads

First half was poor, there's no sugercoating it we had a few half chances and forced their keeper into 1 good save but overall we was giving the ball away and misplacing passes far too often.

Second half much better but still think we need to improve on the ball especially at the back. Charlie did change the game scoring 1 and setting up Marvin for the 2nd and for that he gets my MOTM vote however thought Samir had another very good game playing wider than he usually does.

Ref was poor again, fell into their gameplan which was go down at every opportunity and as soon as he got the yellow out for the first tackle it was always going to be that way.

A big 3 points and hopefully the first of 3 wins at home.

Best thing I have seen in a long time Marvin taking his applause from the crowd thoroughly deserved and man of the match closely followed by Charlie with his goal and assist.

Not a bad tackle in the game the ref was very card happy.
I think that was Sammys 5th booking going by his reaction.

Well that was tough to watch relieved to get the 3 points in the end

I’m a glass half full fan (have been on and off the forum since 2005) but decided to post again because it just feels right to do so again.

We really do lack width but when we get/find it I’m sure we will be a better footballing team. The midfield is too narrow - Carruthers is talented but wasted on the left I think.

Charlie coming on was like a breath of fresh air and he got his simple goal very soon. The 2nd followed and when injured Hershell scorer of the 2nd certainly took the praise
and plaudits from all youngsters behind the goal ! I suspect few of them werent even born when all came to PP for the Horsham YMCA game in November 2006 - yep nearly 16 years ago !!

H&R scored and then nearly equalised but we held on so 3 points - gotta be happy with that.

In terms of the team, we seem to lack confidence and will need to improve to get in the play offs for sure but let’s see - still early days but we do need a flair player like Ryno to create - just my opinion -

Bring on Eastbourne Tuesday

We papered over the cracks today. Nothing more. Nothing less. So, Sheringham gets MOTM last week and incredibly starts on the bench! Why? We had nothing in the first half and I’m amazed H&R didn’t go for the jugular. An hour too late, Charlie, alone, reshapes the game. But, we already cleared two off the line and I thought we were staring at another defeat. A massive relief and we’re back in a ‘positive balance.’ But, my oh my, we’re desperately lacking and it could’ve ended 2-2. And WTF is Wall’s name still doing on a DFC teamsheet. I’m still behind Dowse but every week, there’s something that he does that bemuses me. A confidence boost today for two more home games on the trot. I’m gonna miss the Hungerford one but we really do need to spank those cheating arseholes.
