Dartford v Cray Valley PM Sat 2 Nov 2024

[Dave T]

Could be worse I suppose.

Not sure how, Brian

[Sleightly Deceptive]

Difficult to chose a man of the match after that shitshow. The individual errors in the final ten minutes were embarrassing. This is simply nothing but relegation fodder I’m afraid. Very sad indeed and absolute zero enjoyment attending PP these days. It’s becoming a chore!

[Mark Sweet]

Atrocious

Get him gone tonight, and start by interviewing Steve McKimm before he leaves the stadium.

No tactical identity, players being played out of position to suit this nonsense system. Most of the squad not up to standard.

[Ajaxman DFC]

Well done to the commentary team for staying awake. It was reported Marsden was taking his time with the goal kicks during the closing stages.
No urgency whatsoever.
Unless a draw at home to the mighty Paper Mills, who not so long ago were competing at step 5, is considered to be a good point.
MOTM Park Life.

[Spike]

Garbage.

See you Tuesday.

[Taunton Dart]

I'm amazed at Park Life's endurance - how he keeps going is a source of amazement to me

[MINTY]

Well massive point that, against the mighty Paper Mills. I'm going to have a few beers tonight, so sorry i couldn't be there today, i went to a football match instead.

I'll be there Tuesday.

An absolute disgrace of a performance with no player looking like a vote for M.O.M. so mine goes to Park Life.
I was unsure about going to the match even whilst driving up to P.P. but made it and after the first half with nothing to show from us and thankfully so many missed chances from Cray I did stay on until 15 minutes from the end when I had enough so left for home.
Looked on this web for the final result and no surprises 0-0 much like the first half.
Our players showed very little interest and appear to have adopted the same attitude as the manager in just going through the motions and we have seen this before and now need the board to take action like last season but pick a better manager who can understand tactics has better contacts and can choose players of the quality that we need to progress in this league in order to avoid relegation and hopefully move towards promotion.

[KSTDART]

That was a painful watch , we could and should have been well beaten . It was like a team of strangers today with nobody knowing what they are meant to be doing. I lost count how many times we gave ball away by just blindly passing to know one .

[Park Life]

Media team will have trouble trying to get a video together of our "best moments"
Could be the shortest match video ever........

MOTM - Marsden, clean sheet....

Don't know how you can give him MOTM

His kicking was dreadful, didn't look comfortable coming for anything.

[Ajaxman DFC]

I'll give 100% support to a team who plays for the shirt before the money, if they're lucky to get any.
That includes full sponsorship which, as you know, I've already done for a player whose team I can't mention on here.
But listening to this afternoon's commentary I wouldn't have paid 50p for that today.

The clue is in the "clean sheet" bit.

The only thing worth mentioning today and I can't think of any other player worthy of my vote.

[Sleightly Deceptive]

Marsden did a darned decent job today. It was either him or the relentless efforts of Callum again.

[Grassbank]

I will start with the positives.

1. We did not lose.
2. We kept a clean sheet (although I am not sure how).

Dreadful game of football with a ref that it deserved. He never got to grips with the game, unlike the Cray centre halves who got to grips with our players every time we crossed the half-way line. The one decent move of the first half forced their keeper into a good save. It was the only one he had to make all game. Our keeper was far busier and rode his luck on more than one occasion.

I am not sure how we improve this squad without making four or five changes.

There were many away fans in the attendance today. I fear that the crowd will dwindle as Christmas approaches if nothing changes in the squad. I am hoping for some positive news to give me reason for coming back when we play at home next.

You do realise Park Life if things don't improve and you continue adding yourself to the MOTM poll, you may be in danger of being presented with the Supporter's Player of the Season award.
And find yourself on the front page of the Non-League Paper too.

[Jonty]

I would be inclined to call Ryan Maxwell before his team replaces us in this division.

[Top Cat]

Having watched some absolutely dire games last season you’d like to think it couldn’t get any worse , but honestly , that was beyond dire . No quality , just hoof it and hope crap . No MOTM for me

[ozymandias]

First off, thanks to Parky for the £1 that I had totally forgot about but after the budget I probably owe you 10p.
Worst 96 minutes in years a very hard watch indeed. A very naive performance.
Tactically bloody useless and never tried to change it.
I don't know what's going on but something needs to change.
I would go for Steve for my MotM because he gave me money. Perhaps I should have left at that point because it didn't get any better.
Jacob for me as he did two crucial saves first ten minutes. After that the game was shite.
