Re: Dartford v Carshalton Athletic Sat 26 Apr 2025

Ultimately the result didn't matter but I was massively disappointed with the game and
performance. Carshalton had nothing at stake in the game but run us ragged. It took me
back to those dark days in October when we were getting out run, out worked and out
fought by teams. Really hope it was a blip ...

Re: Cheshunt v Dartford Sat 22 Feb 2025

Poor pitch, poor game and poor performance. 1st half we looked in control and seemed only
a matter of time before we would go on and win the game, then they score right on the stroke
of half time. 2nd half apart from having one cleared off the line and on to the crossbar we
created very little ...

Re: Dartford v Cray Valley PM Sat 2 Nov 2024

Very poor match with little decent football played by either team. We created virtually nothing in attack all game
and Cray always looked the more likely team to nick it, so got to be pleased with the draw. We look too weak in most positions
and teams are able to bully and out muscle far to easily ...

Re: Dartford Players of The Past

With no Darts game yesterday, a good friend of mine invited me to Southend vs Tamworth match,
he has some corporate ticket, which includes a meal beforehand and Nick Crown's brother David
(a Shrimpers record goal scorer) was host, he told me his brother still goes on about us drawing Man U

Re: FA Trophy 3rd Qualifying Round - Dartford v Dulwich Hamlet - Sat Oct 5 2024

I honestly don't know how we managed to loose that game. We were way better than Dulwich but despite numerous
shots at goal they managed to get blocks in, or their keeper made some very good saves. Yet they score from their one
shot on target, I cannot remember our keeper having to make any ...

Re: Dartford v Chatham Town Mon 26 Aug 2024

Hard earned win. Chatham were difficult opposition constantly shoving, pulling and fouling mostly ignored by another weak
referee but it got them nowhere as we stuck to our game and prevailed. Josh my MOTM you can see he is used to playing at a higher
level. Early days but looks like Lewes are going ...

Re: Dartford v Hemel Hempstead Town Sat 23 Mar 2024

Agree with Spike. A must win game and we only manage a draw, which in the circumstances almost feels like a loss.
In truth we didn't deserve any more than the draw.

A friend of mine invited me yesterday on a boardroom hospitality package to Southend vs Ebbsfleet.
Good to see our old player Noor Husin play again, he looked very comfortable at that level. Also
good to see Ebbsfleet loose 3 - nil. In other Dartford connections meet again John Still who is Southend ...

Re: Aveley v Dartford Sat 26 Aug 2023

I really liked Aveley's new ground, thought it was very neat, although still not a fan of artificial pitches, very high bounce.

Massive result that will really help the confidence of the team and management but in truth it was a very poor match
with very little quality from either team. With two ...

Re: Pre season friendly Billericay v Dartford Sat 29 July 2023

Billericay were very aggressive, which resulted in a bad tempered game littered with free kicks, far from a friendly.
The penalty shout was at least 1 meter inside the area but the referee was so bullied by the Billericay players, he didn't
have the guts to give it. In truth we were pretty mediocre ...

Re: Dartford v Bath City Sat 19 Feb 2022

Not a great performance and at 1-0 going into injury time it was always a bit nervy but in truth
Bath created very little although they had a lot of possession. So job well done.

Stonewall penalty in the 2nd minute when Jake tripped from behind but ref not brave enough to give
one so early.

Re: Dartford v Ebbsfleet Tue 1 Feb 2022

Surprised nobody noticed/mentioned that Fleet played the last 10/15mins with 10 men having used all their
substitutes and another going off injured. Or was it tactics by their manager as they have become used to
not having 11 on the pitch for 90 minutes lately. :D

Re: Tonbridge Angels v Dartford Sat 29 Jan 2022

Much better performance than against Concord (but frankly that wasn't hard), great to get a win in the league at last.

Danny MOM, two well taken goals and could have had his hat-trick but for an excellent last ditch tackle from Tonbridge,
also a foul on Danny that resulted in the Jebb free kick ...

Re: Dartford v Concord Rangers Tue 25 Jan 2022 - KO 7.45

Its all been said already but to reiterate.

Very poor performance and up there as one of the worst football matches I have ever seen, two very poor teams
that both looked like relegation candidates. Only plus was somehow we managed not to get defeated.

Re: Dartford v Hampton & Richmond Sat 22nd Jan 2022 - 3pm

Not sure if we have gone backwards or other teams have just got better. In many recent performances we
have been out battled and out worked by the opposition and yesterday especially in the 2nd half, that was
very much the case. Hampton looked fitter and faster than us across most positions. On so ...
