FT 1-3

[Jonty]

That is a great result, well played Darts and thanks for the excellent commentary.

[Harry]

That is an excellent result, from a difficult fixture - well done Darts !

Looking forward to the reports from those who were there.

[Sleightly Deceptive]

Exceeded my expectations. Thanks Parky & Will. Well done lads!!

[ozymandias]

This, for me, is a big confidence boosting win. Let's hope we can get a similar one Saturday. I'm hoping to be there.
Well done the lads, great result.
Well done Ade and Roland.

An excellent result at a difficult ground to go to. Nice to get the goals to be slowly boosting the goal difference as well, although if Dickson had been wearing his shooting boots, we might not have got all 3 points. However, we do seem to be gelling into a good squad with several players coming on strong, listening to the commentaries.

At least Will was aware his equipment was causing some interruption and hope he can get it sorted by the weekend. Is there a need for some fundraising for him??
Just asking!!

Well played Darts. Let's keep the run going.

Amazing result. MOT issues kept me away tonight, am presuming commentary is usually not distorted like that.
Had to nip out at 1-1 and came back at 1-3, so was very pleasing to come home to! Cues up the next three away and Boxing Day home games beautifully, Chatham on New Years Day should be tasty…

[Park Life]

First half we just couldn't retain possession and in all honesty Horsham weren't any better so it was not a great half.
They took the lead with a long range effort which went straight down the middle but we came straight back and equalised about a minute later.
They just edged the first half imo but didn't have much quality in and around our goal so we didn't have much cause for concern.

Second half they started the brighter and put us under some pressure but we got stronger as the second half wore on and as soon as we scored the second goal we always looked likely to win and when the third went in it was all over.
Second half was better but i don't think we played as well tonight as we have done in recent games but the unbeaten run continues and we're up to 4th in the league so well done Ady and the lads.

Tonight was one of those games where i thought we found a way to win when we weren't at our best which is always a good sign.

MOTM - Olly Box. Turned the game in our favour with the second goal.

[MickW]

Well done lads - onwards and upwards.

[Bagdhad Billy]

Another great result ! We seem to be grinding out wins even when we have periods of the game where we are under large amounts of pressure where’s before we would have crumbled and ended up losing heavily like at Billericay

There were issues on Saturday too. I stopped listening at half-time as commentary kept cutting out. Clearly an equipment issue!

[Lars Resort]

A good win without playing well. Win ugly, I'll take that.

[The 5th Searcher]

Another excellent result and climbing that table. The team are all starting to battle for each other as well as playing some good football which is all us as fans can ask for, a never say die attitude.

Ade now seems to have a settled squad without having to make to many changes each game and with Olly Box doing the business and scoring almost every game how can you drop him.

We still need a couple of additions to the team especially a winger and a back up keeper.

Well Done Ade & the team keep it going.

I’m not about at games now until after Christmas so wishing you all & everyone at DFC a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.

Have a great one.

[ozymandias]

Agreed 5th, a lot of people have had a moan about the quality of the squad and the football being played, including me. But Ade has stuck to his guns and the players and now they are reaping their rewards.
Yes, we need a couple of players still and for me we are maybe short of being a play off side. But it's not for the lack of trying.
We played some good football Saturday and our forward play on the break was good to watch. We need to keep supporting the lads as it does seem to be keeping the moaning to a minimum..

Oh I agree Ozy, I’ll admit that I was certainly one of them that had a good ole rant and moan about Ade, the players & the lack of quality in the team but full credit to both Ade who stuck with them & the players who are now starting to show some quality and how good a players they really can be when they play together as a team & really battle for each other.

I don’t tend to do hardly any away games now due to other commitments and have unfortunately missed some recent home games due to prior Christmas arrangements but will hopefully be back just after the New Year.

Keep up the great work Darts and let’s hope that Santa delivers those points to us over the Xmas period.

COME ON YOU DARTS.

A really good result.
Hats off the all those who travelled and great job done from AP and the players.
Were the highlights biased because it seemed they had many open chances they really should have scored with and we had potentially 4.

[ozymandias]

Chris Dickson obviously didn't have his shooting boots on last night. It looked a crap playing surface. I do NOT like plastic.
And I get that Samir is a classy player but sometimes he overdoes things. The very first bit of trickery from him and then he superbly sets up Horsham with their first goalscoring opportunity. Too fancy and too much.
Having said that he obviously get's the lads playing around him and he did take his goal well.
