Comes across very well.
We've had 4 years of poor manager interviews and this was a breath of fresh air

I like listening to Ben's interviews, he doesn't keep whining on about the budget, he's articulate and comes across very positive. He may well prove to be a breath of fresh air. It's a weird feeling I'm experiencing, I think it might be cautious optimism.

Given me trust and confidence in building a team with higher Skills, Experience, Youth and Energy, that we've been crying out for. Fingers Crossed!
Having first teams and academy players in the crowd will be fun, this DJ Sunday. No doubt deservedly there'll be a few Cheers, for the season's winners and accolades, along with welcoming those joining the DFC Project Ben.G... Pump up the volume!

I'm really annoyed with that interview. Not once was us loyal supporters mentioned.

Ain't after Supporters' Prizes, just that Ben.G's a local resident makes him a Dartford Supporter already...
Starting to get the feeling of the class of 2007/8 - 2009/10 - 12011/12...

Very positive, sounding like Ben knows what he wants and has brought some old faces back who I'm sure can only compliment the set up. Paul Sayer especially, and Adam Flanagan, who will have a point to prove no doubt.

Lars. The fans were mentioned towards the end of the interview with him looking forward to meeting them at the forthcoming social event.

It's alright having Bailey Vose in but have we a Keeper? If Henley doesn't re-sign can I expect to see the lad who was at Faversham last season? A lad by the name of Roshan Greensall?? I believe. A very good keeper. Who later moved on to Ashford United coinciding with a late surge in the league.
Not for me to speculate of course, but we may be seeing Vose as well as Greenhalgh in the starting eleven.
Having said that, Henley wasn't popular with some fans but proper saved us at times.

As far as i can tell Bailey is only 28 so could feature in some way, but as Ben said he was coming in as a coach he must be talking to other keepers as well (I'd be surprised if he wasnt).
However for the second half of the season Henley was very good for us (arguably player of the season form) so if he does stay i'd be happy with that.

Sorry but Henley is not for me.being decent( different from being excellent ) for half a season is not good enough. Too often I see the ball hitting the back of our net and Jonny stood still in a weird part of the goal area. We can do a lot better.

Henley was okay for me and you can't put all the blame on his doorstep. But agree with both Steve and Rambo in some respects. Some superb keeping often let down by being flat-footed on occasion.
