If you were a neutral it was a great game of football, very harsh to lose and players put in a good shift. Play that game 10 times you win four lose four draw two. Need to kick on and get a win at home saturday.

 Bollox IMO.. we created zero chances in 90 minutes. Pinged in a worldie free kick. Not a chance created in open play. No threat  in 18 yard box.

Play that 10 times get 13 points? Bollox. If we have that free kick 100 times we score maybe 4 or 5 teams. We don't score cos we are ****.

We lose that 9/10 cos we can't score and we always concead cos our defence is **** and we always concead a goal. Cos defence is a liability. We lose 1-0 9/10 for that reason. 

1 win in 9. Cos we are ****. 

Don't do enough to win a game. Can always lose it. Yet again weosr by the odd game against a **** team. Funny how the other team always get that odd goal. Cos we are **** with **** defenders that give **** goals away. **** attackers that can't make the difference. 

Can we stay up? I don't know. But let's ****ing bring this relegation battle in

COYW

Dartford were their for the taking tonight, that was two evenly matched teams which was always going to be seperated by a moment of magic and unfortunately it went against us. We did look very powder puff tonight, it has to be said, however their is no doubt the new additions have improved us especially Fuseini. But in terms of success this season that's well and truly a right off for me, I can see us heading to mid table security come April to which some would say was a success, I say a massive failure. 

I thought we played reasonably well, without pulling up tree stumps. The minute they brought on Hayes I feared for that special ball, and it happened. We probably did enough for a point, that was all apart from a worldy free kick. That international clearance cannot come soon enough. I thought Dan Walker caused them lots of problems - a shame he had run out of steam.  Two strikers injured, another one awaiting clearance - a shame we did not have a Jonte Smith to bring on in the last 15 minutes.

I saw, and had a brief chat, with Ade Pennock

and Phil Handford at the match last night. Always a delight to meet them. I reckon they were either taking in a match, doing a bit of scouting, gearing up for the Ebbsfleet job - when, or if, it becomes available - or, could it be...... surely not?

Frustration is the overriding feeling from last night.

Started slowly and conceded the obligatory penalty. Second part of the first half we controlled the game - nice short passing through midfield although we did lack a final ball and didn't test the keeper enough. Cracking equaliser and at half time there only looked to be one team in it. Sluggish start to the second half with passes going astray and then we started going too long and looking for the wonder pass instead of repeating what we did in the first half. D******* are not pretty to watch but effective at what they do and we really played into their hands the longer the game went on. Then they bring Ryan Hayes on. He must be about 90 by now but always plays wide right, always cuts inside and has always had a sweet left foot. His right leg is for standing on and he doesn't really have any pace. Everybody in Kent football knows this apart from our management team and left back it seems?! Cuts inside and delivers one ball to the back post and it's 2-1 and then another left foot cross and it's almost three. Maybe we didn't do enough to win the game in the end but we certainly shouldn't have lost it. 

We are not getting beaten by the opposition but basically beating ourselves at the moment. Oxford City, Bishops Stortford, St Albans and now D****** - all games that should never have been lost and nearly all the wounds self inflicted...

We have two home games in the coming week and we need to get the home form started. if we play like we did at Concord and in the first half last night (with an end product) we will be fine. Hopefully we will have a full bench to pick from by then as well....

Certainly frustrating that there keeps being glimpses of hope then another defeat.

But there are still (almost) 100 points to be played for if we get half of them we'll be comfortably safe, if we win a third of them we may still be safe with over 40 but it would be a gamble. So with a few less penalties and a few more chances going in we can still pull clear of the drop zone.

Just hang in there.

we were perhaps the better team but our defence is woeful. Dartford were very poor and we basically gave the game away. Better effort and more fight but I question the manager with Dartford rolling out fresh legs. We could put Archie Johnson on and got him to run at them. too many over hit balls wide when there was a lot of space in the middle if our players were more direct. Surely a past it Slabber could have been given 5 mins(dont think he was on the bench and couldnt hear the team anyway).But why do Dartford have wanadio when he was fairly impressive for us last season-we just can never get it right, we let Williams go for nothing didnt we?

 Slabber is injured.
