Re: Dartford v Wingate & Finchley Sat 19 Oct 2024

Dominating possession and playing some nice football doesn’t matter when you concede three goals in twenty-one minutes. There’s a few players in the squad that are clearly out of their depth- some of whom have played at a higher level and are quite simply not delivering in the way a senior player ...

Re: Dartford v Bowers & Pitsea Sat 21 Sep 2024

A terrible performance from the team. The rot set in early on with a number of mistakes in the first half from one player in particular, which then spread throughout the team as the game went on.

Bowers and Pitsea had more than enough chances across the game to win comfortably so no complaints ...

Is he aware that we've been relegated from the NLS?

Re: London Senior Cup Semi Final - Hendon v Dartford Tue 23 Apr 2024

Nine goals for a fiver. Excellent value for money.

Good to see the academy lads are being taught to play in the right way. Despite conceding six their heads didn’t drop and they constantly looked to play positive attacking football. Defensive naivety cost them today, but that only improves with ...

Re: London Senior Cup Semi Final - Hendon v Dartford Tue 23 Apr 2024

We are really struggling defensively. This could be a long second half.

No complaints though, with half the team made up of academy players we can’t expect too much. It’s clearly a big step up against what looks to be a strong Hendon team.

Re: London Senior Cup Semi Final - Hendon v Dartford Tue 23 Apr 2024

30 mins on the clock and we could quite easily be 6-0 down. Smith has just hit the bar, but aside from that it has been one way traffic.

Re: Dartford v Worthing Tue 9 Apr 2024

It’s the same old story at home. A decent performance for a large part of the game and then we press the self destruct button. Last time it was the goalkeeper, this time Nembhard somehow misses a basic header and lets their attacker in to score. It’s so boring seeing this week after week after week ...

Re: Dartford v Eastbourne Borough Mon 1 Apr 2024

Well that was an absolutely atrocious performance by a team who, while not mathematically relegated, are mentally already in the Ithsmian league. Contrast that with an Eastbourne team who believe and play like they can save themselves.

I’m severely unimpressed with Pennock. I’m assuming the board ...

What a dreadful half. A shocking error from our goalkeeper to gift Eastbourne a goal. Block and Barzey both off injured. And now it’s raining (again).

Re: Dartford v Aveley - Tue 27 Feb 2024

79 minutes into a good performance we switch off at a corner, leaving an Aveley player unmarked on the edge of the box, who is then able to take a touch and find the bottom corner. Almost instantly our full back doesn’t deal with a high ball and Terrell gives away the penalty. Basics have let us ...

Re: Dartford v Chippenham Town Tue 13 Feb 2024

We had a good spell where we should have scored three goals before half time. We failed to take those chances, and then it seemed strangely inevitable that we’d lose 0-1. After going behind we never looked like equalising.

We are a bad team who don’t have the fight to get out of trouble. I cannot ...

Re: Dartford v Braintree Town Tue 21 Nov 2023

Pre red card, that was an utterly dreadful performance. We play like it’s the 95th minute, but for the whole game. It’s always plan B; lumping balls into the box, hoping for a flick on, a lucky bounce, a deflection, or an opponent making a mistake. Truly awful to watch.

After the red card, it wasn ...

Re: Dartford v Chelmsford City Tue 7 Nov 2023

Seemed like the Chelmsford player left one on Bradbury earlier in the second half, which wasn’t seen by the ref (The same player also shoved Bradbury in the first half, which the ref chose not to book him for). Unfortunately Bradbury wasn’t so stealthy in his retribution. That was the icing on the ...

Re: Dartford v Taunton Town - Thu 13 April 2023

Well that was awful. We hit the woodwork twice, but Taunton still deserved the win.

Yet again it was aimless ball after aimless ball smashed into the opposition half for Bradbury to chase after.
We might be second but the football we’ve been playing since the turn of the year is miserable.

Re: Dartford v Braintree Town Sat 5 Nov 2022

A Great performance against a team barely interested in playing football until they went one nil down. Time wasting, play acting, anti-football. I feel sorry for their fans who have to watch this every week.

Re: Dulwich Hamlet v Dartford Sat 8 Oct 2022

A really scrappy game that looked like it was heading for a draw until an excellent header from Sheringham won us the three points.

A goal and an assist for Samir, who ran the show in the second half after being moved to a more central position. Player of the season is already his to lose ...

Re: Steve King

King's contract ran until the end of the 23/24 season, so there must have been a seriously good reason to sack him. Obviously we aren't privy to what's gone on behind the scenes (until the club's further statement), but purely based on performances I think this is a harsh dismissal. King's league ...

A dreadful performance from Dartford, with Braintree collecting three well deserved points.

Re: Dartford v Maidstone Mon 18 Apr 2022

We weren’t good enough on the day, so there’s not really any excuses to be made. Maidstone weren’t easy on the eye but they got the job done. Their two centre-backs defended well and didn’t give up many chances. The first half was pretty even affair, but we seemed to run out of steam in the second ...
