Dulwich Hamlet v Dartford Sat 9 Aug 2025

[Sleightly Deceptive]

What a shit show. I can’t quite believe what I saw after all the anticipation.

[Dart of Herts]

Couldn’t make it today. Obviously a disappointing result and hopefully a rogue one. Makes Tuesday a bigger game than it already was even this early in the season. Still optimistic about this season - COYD

As for the and his obvious secondary account: I’m following suit of others and muting. Not worth my time, even to take the mick

[DA Mikey]

Only Tuesday & Saturday will tell whether that was a rogue result or that we have big problems. One thing’s for sure, Henly will not have a good sleep tonight - unless the video proves otherwise, he was beaten three times at his near post and once from quite a distance. We managed to muster a couple of efforts on goal, hitting the post from a corner (Whitefield, I think), but generally speaking Dulwich were well in control and always looked dangerous attacking along the left. Wanadio taking the match ball home is a bitter pill to swallow. Fingers crossed we see a big improvement against Billericay.

Can't listen to that interview. Quality is poor.
But we really don't need to hear it to get the gist.

Mark Sweet getting hammered but he’s not wrong in what he says.
We don’t have a plan B.
That was absolutely dire today from start to finish.
Smashing long balls up field all game.
They tore us apart down the right all game and we did absolutely nothing to stop it.
Need an upgrade in the centre of midfield too, Samir isnt ever fit and eze hasn’t impressed at all.
Season starts on Tuesday, and it has to improve.

Mark sweet posted at 316 and didn’t hang around so he’s started where he left off, completely unnecessary. As for his other posts no issue. I think this is pretty obvious

I wasn't sure what to expect today being the first game of the season as it always takes a fair few games for things to settle down, so i think we just have to take it on the chin and dust ourselves off for the next game.

But taking this game in isolation, i can't believe what i saw today. Take nothing away from Dulwich as they thoroughly deserved their win but we looked off the pace, never won any individual battles and caused them hardly any problems until very late on when the game was all over.
I'm still scratching my head as in all honesty i don't think a single player came out of the game with any credit or played anywhere near their potential so I'm sure they'll be hurting as much as us. So hopefully they can get back to the high standards of last season asap, because if they play anything like they did today again, it will only end in another defeat.

Feel a bit for Frempah and feel he's getting some unfair stick. His sending off in the pre season friendly was a joke and at best a yellow and today we needlessly gave the ball away in the middle of the park and put Ben right in the **** Looked a bit harsh at the time but as he was the last man it's always a possibility a red will be shown.

Disappointing day all round and especially for the Darts faithful who turned out in BIG numbers today.

MOTM for me Dan Smith.

Well I dont post on here that much but today was embrassing! ....no one looked like they deserved to wear the Dartford shirt today....that wasn't the case last season. Goalkeeper was playing at Kent league level ...we are back to playing long balls ....wtf is box doing playing centre mid ! Lost midfield.....forwards chasing long balls and defenders not quite as bad as our keeper but there wasn't much in it !

So hoping that was just a bad day at the office otherwise we are in big trouble !

[Tony H]

Hell that was dissappointing. Take nothing away from Dulwich, they looked sharp and quick and took their goals well but we can do much better that. I have every confidence in Ady and the lads to sort things out.

“Bumpy” journey home for me to say the least made things worse. We go again, collectively. Awesome turn out by the Dartford faithful.

[WillDfc42]

putting my neck on the line here but I do agree with Mark Sweet in this instance…

We looked lost out wide and at HT really could’ve done with a formation switch and to stretch the pitch. Eddie picked up the ball in wide areas on multiple occasions and just lost possession. Ady is the manager, obviously knows more than me, and i’m very much in favour of the system because it’s what got us so far last season but I do think a plan B should always be possible

I refer you to my previous post referring to 16 minutes into the season. If you think that’s appropriate then fine.

More to the point, where is the bell end during a twenty game unbeaten run? He’s an utter dick and need dealing with. But simply folks, just go to settings and block him. Then he comes in here and ‘talks to deaf ears’ as no-one can see his shit.

[ozymandias]

Not the result we were all hoping for but from all accounts DH were much sharper and wanted it more than we did.
Will be up on Tuesday and hoping for a quick bounce back to where we expected them to be. Ben will be missing I take it, so will be expecting a bit of a change at the back.
Plenty of time to get a set-back out of the way and hopefully the only way is up.

[DA Mikey]

We’ll have to channel the ‘wounded animal’ that Potters Bar came to PP as a year ago, having been beaten 0-8 by Dover on the opening day.

[ozymandias]

Maybe a bit disappointed we couldn't get hold of Wannadio and I don't know what the lads played like overall. But seeing young Gabe at Faversham recently I would take a chance on the lad at some point during the season as he was a hand full.

Is our new man AZE NOT a wide man/winger ???????

Everyone thought he was but he calls himself a holding midfielder.

Very early days and too soon to make any rash decisions. Ade said all the right things after the game, he didn’t throw anyone under the bus. You have to give the team around 10 games before you can make any changes.

I wasn’t at the game but heard all the reports and it sounded very much like the Dover & Billericay away games last season where individual performances had a huge impact on the result. I’m hoping it was just a bad day at the office and looking for a positive response on Tuesday.
