HT 0-1
We can have no complaints, they've been the better side.

Starting to fret - we are second best all over the pitch.

Second best throughout the half. Half hearted penalty and towards the end wayward passes and can't take a throw in after being told three times to take it back.
Horsham faster and more direct, having said that I don't understand their attitude when having us under the cosh do they slow the game down to more our advantage.
Need to sharpen up. Box not doing a lot and they are keeping our front lads quiet while not really trying.

Couldn’t have put it better than that. Looks like we’ve run out of steam. Just got to hope they’re tire.

They’re getting in behind us down the sides all too easy.
Some of their football has been brilliant but let’s hope Ade demands and gets a response second half.

It’s been a dire 1st half with no real effort being shown, we are 2nd to every ball and are being knocked all over the place at present. As for that dogshit penalty it was an absolute joke from Jones, he didn’t look interested when he stepped up and hit it half hearted.

Unless we seriously step it up 2nd half and make some changes on the pitch I can only see Horsham scoring more. It should’ve been more than 1 in that first half, only a good save from Marsdon and the woodwork keeping it at 1.

FT 2-1

Doesn't sound like it was very pretty, but we ground out a vital win against our serious promotion rivals in the end.

Well done the Darts!

Are you Mark Sweet in disguise?

We can talk about how on earth we won that game but how good goes that feel.

Apart from one slight fumble marsden was excellent and saved us more than once.

Someone obviously been watching a different Callum Jones he is our hardest working player out there,probably not his best game today but still put in a shift.

Callum didn’t have his usual 9/10 performance but got absolutely no protection from another inept referee. Callum is a strong player and doesn’t ‘just’ fall over every time. We managed to beat two teams today. Dunno how. But we did. Well done Ady for the subs. Samir made the difference but Jacob, not for the first, or second, time this season, saved. our arses and was MOTM by a distance. I’ll be surprised if there are any other votes. That says a lot about Horsham. Outplayed us for most of the game but their tanks were empty last ten.
