Really great result with a young team up against some real experience. Thought Tizzard, Bradbury and King had particularly good games, Tizzard probably MOTM for me but Bradbury and King managing to come from the academy to the first team so smoothly is great to see. Back line was immense again, and a great way to win it, Jordan had a quiet game by his standards but always has that quality in him to win us games by himself. Was nice to see Pablo as well.
Could really do with a striker though (no offense to Coppin who worked really hard today), we seem to have real quality in the side but lack a focal point at the moment.

We need to sort out our slow start. Dartford had a nailed on goal 1 on 1 within a few moments but bizarrely hit the bar. Looked like we were going in 0-1 at HT, but a moment of stupidity gave us a penalty which Alife didn't hit with enough power but the goalie fumbled and that little bit of luck set us up. On top for the second half and deserved the win near the FT whistle with a wonder free-kick from Jordan. New loanee was excellent as was Will Richards today.Kane was my MOTM, he will have a few bruises as Darts roughed him up with little or no protection from a poor ref.
Oh yes and how great to see Pablo and his family

Dartford poor I thought, lot of experience but lack of energy but 3 great points, the young guns worth their weight in gold. It’s looks like it’s going to be a inconsistent season, good and bad win and lose.
What do they do in the academy to these lads? Caine and Will King absolutely immense against a team that will be up there come the end of the season.
Will Richards was a wall all game and Tizzard looked good too.
Deserved that win and starting to see a real style with this team. Still need a signing or two but can see lots of potential.

Overall a very good team performance against a far more experienced Dartford side who could not finish, despite all the big guns they had upfront. I thought Will King had another storming game, playing out of position at the back. If we can find that elusive big striker, then I think we will be OK.

The penalty shout which resulted in Alfie being booked looked a stone wall penalty from where I was stood but the second one, which was awarded, looked much softer. The penalty strike was poor and we were lucky that their keeper fumbled it into the net. Despite his and other Dartford players' protestations the ball was definitely at least 4 inches over the line. MOTM for me was Will Richards as he won nearly everything in the air and did a good job distributing the ball to the midfield.
