Match Preview: https://puredfc.co.uk/dartford-v-hungerford-town

Oooh! A Russian (?) linesman - that's a good omen (for those with memories of 1966).

Not really - if you look at the respective colours of the teams........Hungerford are in RED - we're in black and white.........

I'd just leave the Russian connection out of the equation

Really hoping we get a decent crowd as it’s international break, top of the league and on a cup run, our profile must be rising….nothing less than 3 points for this one, no pressure!

Please don't forget that if you want to have a fun night out, DFCSA have our first post-Covid race night at 6pm in the Princes Suite. If you're a member, you get two free bets for the evening.

These are a real money-spinner for the Association, and the last one (the week before lockdown) helped us to continue supporting the Club through the pandemic when we couldn't do any of our normal fundraising. They are also a fun night!

Hungerford are a team that like to play the ref, waste time and Feign injury & they are very good at it! A totally different challenge we must be ready for.

It's okay, I think he's Bulgarian.

There go 35 x Catalytic converters??

Exactly my thoughts Davedart. We mustn’t fall behind otherwise it’ll be a very frustrating afternoon.

Back to National South action this weekend at home to Hungerford Town. Check out the match preview at https://puredfc.co.uk/

There will also be more build up tomorrow morning with a Steve King interview on the club's Twitter page https://twitter.com/dartfordfc

Oh and if you're going to the game don't forget to check out the club shop that's looking all refreshed!

You've put him off
Info from Peter Martin:
"Replacement referee Michael Webb for Ivaylo"

We've had some tough games against Hungerford in recent seasons so i'm sure Steve will have the players in the right frame of mind, I'm confident they will be as they've shown total commitment and professionalism in every game so far.

After the start we've had and last weeks result the players must be itching to get out their and play again, i can't wait and it seems like an age between games atm and as a missing member of this forum would say "only two more sleeps to go"

Attendance tough one to call as i doubt Hungerford will bring any so i'm going for 1150-1200, but the way we have been playing it could be a few more.

COYD

Our squad for tomorrow is as follows......

Dan Wilks, Craig King, Jordan Wynter, Jernade Meade, Noor Husin, Connor Essam, Tom Bonner, Josh Hill, Danny Leonard, Kieran Murtagh, George Porter, Luke Allen, Ade Azeez, Dan Roberts, Jack Jebb, Emmanuel Sonupe, Michael Kedman, Deshane Dalling, Luke Wanadio & Jake Robinson (if fit).

Picking a starting 11 plus 5 subs from this group and leaving 4 out is not a task I would like and I don't envy Steve King at all.

Hope you both recover soon Duke. I had it a few months back but thankfully like you, I'd had the jabs so it was just like having a really nasty cold for 4 days coupled with feeling extremely tired. The main symptoms went quickly but the fatigue did linger for a few weeks. Luckily I only missed friendlies. Hopefully we'll see you back soon.

Dukey, sit down and watch the Welling and Maidstone games on repeat and that’ll soon get you on the path to recovery! We’ll soon see you back on the terraces.

I think kingy said last week that Jake would be out for 3 weeks. Tomorrow we got to the get at them from the off and try to get an early goal before they can employ their antics.

On holiday in sunny Devon,so no show from me.This should however mean unobstructed shots from Kev
