We could do with the points this weekend against a team we've not beaten in four. Next up is Chippenham Town and we've drawn our last three at home against them in normal time (losing one of on penalties). Not going to be easy, but hopefully we can get a positive result this weekend. Here's the preview https://puredfc.co.uk/dartford-v-chippenham-town-3

Looking forward to this game. The Chip's manager is pretty good at giving us a hard time and I expect similar tomorrow. Hope we can push on with a win.

We really owe them after gifting then the game at their place with a very poor performance. 3 points for the Darts would be much appreciated

Surprised Chippenham are in the relegation places as they've always been tough opponents and had a decent team last season.
But, they've only lost one of their last six so expecting another tough game today.

Second half last week was an improvement on previous games and we will need to keep that form going for the final third of the season.

Squad has been strengthened last few weeks and Dowse has a few options today:-

Wilks, Dudzinski

Statham, Essam, Bonner, Meade, Campbell

Napa, Fonkeu, Wynter, Smith, Murtagh, Allen, Carruthers, Coulson

Sheringham, Loza

Block - Injured?
Odaudu - Injured?
Wall - Suspended

Much needed team performance statham was m.o.m by a country mile luke Allan and Smith in midfield work well hoping charlie isn't out for to long seemed to lose bit of confidence when he had to go of dowse saying may need to bring striker in wats happened to loza and we signed tommy block is he injured ??

Solid performance. Can't ask for anymore than 3 points and a clean sheet.

Started the game very strongly, could've been 2 or 3 up within the first 15-20 minutes but then Chippenham grew into the game and had a close call when Maxwell had to clear it off the line or at least stop the man at the back post tapping it in.

The 2nd half started the same as the 1st with us coming out strongly and getting a much needed 2nd goal. Chippenham then looked like the more likely team to score with us struggling to keep possession and we got a let off when they had one ruled out for offside (impossible to tell from where I was if it was actually off or not). Once we weathered that storm we were ok and just had to manage the last 15 or so which we did well.

MOTM could go to a number of candidates, I thought both Allen and Smith in the midfield had good games and Coulson impressed me also. My vote goes to Maxwell. He was brave today with some of the challenges he needed to make and as I mentioned before stopped a certain goal.

I will say that the referee was absolutely awful today. Some of the decisions she failed to give us was an absolute disgrace. Players getting taken out late, shoved in the back and nothing given and I lost count of how many times Charlie was fouled and she either failed to give it or even worse gave it against Charlie. The lack of protection he got today unfortunately ended up with him going off injured and even then Bonner had to call on the physio urgently when Charlie looked very uncomfortable because the referee failed to do her job.

A good professional performance, Chippenham are much better than their league position suggests but they do have a few games in hand on others .
We had a lightning start with Jack Smith getting ahead of his man to volley home in just the 2nd minute. After that both teams cancelled each other out a bit and both had good chances to score

Luke Allen made it 2 after Samir held on to the ball before releasing Max . His low cross was met by Allen who’s shot had to much on it for the keeper

I expect the usual moaners will find something to complain about but hopefully they will go back in hiding under which ever rock they crawl out from .

Here are the goals

Jack Smith scores Dartford’s 1st v Chippenham


Luke Allen scores Dartford’s 2nd Chippenham
