The Dart(s) Board

How much extra time?

FT 2-3

So after 10 league games we are only 3 points off relegation, 6; points away from the play-off places and no hope of landing the league title. Not where a club of our stature should be

Times up. Vote of no confidence please..

Sorry but the board need to go they have turned this club into the laughing stock of Kent football we make so many mistakes with recruitment, fan engagement and basically have no desire to move this club forward ! Another relegation would be a disaster…..

Drop the prices for pay on the gate to try to get back the 1000’s of fans who simply won’t go anymore and make a change at the top this isn’t acceptable at all….

For both the board and manager
Mismanagement from top to bottom.

Manager not good enough
His recruits and they're not up to standard

Back to back relegation is a real possibility


Also anyone know why Pennock has changed dugouts and the way we kick first half?? Probably fed up of having Burman and co in his ear all game???

Disgrace

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 should be. Pennock needs to make some tough choices, both tactically and personnel-wise, before this season goes completely off the rails.

We’ve changed the attackers, changed the defenders, changed the goalkeeper and now it’s time for the midfield. Carruthers is not the player we once knew. Sloppy touches, sloppy passes, over hit crosses. Trying fancy free kicks when we are losing with possibly one of the biggest squads in the league. We are facing another poor and gloomy season

Even worse Dartford fc are a complete irrelevance

No need to panic. We're only 6pts away from the play-offs.
Unlike Alan Dowson, who was a staggering 7pts adrift when he got the boot.
Seriously though, according to our very own excellent commentator the first half was the worst performance he'd seen in the last two and half seasons and stated that to say we looked a bit shakey in defence is the understatement of the century.
Tomorrow's derby against Ebbsfleet should be a far better game and the results of the excellent coaching the players have been receiving is there for all to see.
I honestly think the players out there today should club together and donate part of this weekends wages to their female counterparts who are playing really well or atleast get them some gift vouchers so they can treat themselves at Blue Water.
Ko 3pm tomorrow at Princes Park. Only a fiver (which the girls see none of as they don't get paid, unlike bloody league rivals Fulham) and beer at very competitive prices.

And no matter what anyone says the money has obviously dried up

Our solution to the problem is signing a non contracted player who's been retiree 5 years. Who wasn't in the squad today

Well for the second 45 we put up a fair fist of things but even the goals we scored were a stroke of luck. Olly's hopeful strike and Adeoye's a swing while sitting on his arse!!! I think at that point we'd have taken anything.
But the game was lost long before by just being outrun and out fought.
We are slowly turning in to also rans with no hope of any glory this season and just a hope it doesn't turn into a relegation battle.
We are a long long way from being anything close to the might we were five years ago.

Pathetic 1st half,we were all over the shop against average opposition.
The natives are not happy including me
Some of the players are very dissapointing and as for our part time manager it simply not good enough.
Our club is in decline and becoming a laughing stock.
Another crap day at PP.

Let's suppose we do what some on here are asking for and got rid of the entire board tonight. What would happen tomorrow? Who is it that's taking over? When will they come? Next week, next month? What are their credentials and how do we know they will be any better? Do they even exist? Most people on here couldn't even name more than a couple of board members, let alone what their roles are, so how do we know whether they are individually doing a good job? I myself only really know 3 of them and the rest are fairly anonymous. I've always thought it harsh that the two most prominent directors are the two that get all the stick. In my view, Steve Irving is the man who has held this club together and now he's moved so far away it's all as starting to fall apart. Even the pitch is looking substandard now and we don't even have a groundsman. It's the absence of accountability that worries me and the lack of clearly defined roles and responsibilities. I've no problem with a revolution if it's going to be for the good of the club, but you have to have an alternative plan before you scrap the current one.

Callum Jones MotM for me as he chased everything including a lost cause.

Sadly today sums up where we are heading. No disrespect to wingate& Finchley but we shouldn’t be anywhere near we are now.

For me, some members of the board need a hard good look at themselves and question what they actually bring to the board.

Just look at where we are compared to 3 years ago - reg was right all along

It would have been forgivable had half the stadium gone home at half time. I was tempted.
A young chap who I didn't know said he didn't think it would get this bad as he thought we would be pressing for an immediate return.
But we both agreed we look nowhere near it.
Jonesy for me today. He was the pick of a poor bunch.

This is absolutely terrible for fans and the town
But it’s been coming for a few years
The board should of had a major shake up years ago

The club had the chance to become a league outfit but the board didn’t back Burman at the time, ahh yes he may have been on the board too but they should of backed him and not sold Bonner and champion
Sad sad times but the old boys club have got to go for the sake of the club
To go from the second best placed kent club to the current debacle is a disgrace
And that is why the gates are down to the 900 mark
People voted with there feet
Oh and the board might be approachable as some of the old timers say but that doesn’t wash with me

Hope this situation gets sorted very soon

Gates are nowhere near the 900 mark. For some inexplicable reason they’re massively inflated.

Season ticket holders are included in attendance wether they attend or not.
