[TREVOR B]

Thank goodness for James Carter and the Ryan and Davie double act, brilliant at times Darts conceded two sloppy goals to reduce our goal difference yet again so that the win saw us drop down to 8th place on +4.

The game was classy in attack and the defence were never troubled in the first half and Jimmy took his headed goal well from Ryans telling cross, then just after he had a second header which the keeper just managed to keep out.

The one goal was our only conversion from 10 or more chances in the first half and we knew that the old saying of one goal is not enough, might just prove to be true again.

The second half saw even more super wing play from both Ryan and Davie, but poor defending let in their forward for an unmarked header past Kevin at the far post.

Next was for Davie to receive the ball almost straight from the kick off, beat three defenders on a run down the wing then a low hard cross found Ryan to bang the ball high into the roof of the net.

Surely no more slip ups and Enfield on their knees after such a reply, but again a one goal lead is not enough and as chances were missed, the defence were again asleep from a free kick and another header at the far post saw the equaliser.

Enfield had the chance to take the lead just after but their forward shot wide and thankfully as Jimmy had read my notes on this site , he knew to stay up front in the area and he continued to linger waiting to prey on those telling crosses coming in from left and right.

Two very well taken headers, both leaving the keeper with no chance saw James complete a headed hat-trick and us retain our unbeaten home record, but as has been stated above those two conceded goals saw us drop a place to 8th.

To keep on winning at home and at least drawing away is the key to progressing up the league, plus we still have to play most of the clubs above us at home.

But we also know goal difference is very important when going for the playoff's so we must try to improve to help overhaul the clubs above us, as we thought that we knew a win would keep us in 7th spot even if Chatham had lost, but not true.

Great game to watch though and congratulations to the lads for a very entertaining afternoon, so lets keep it up on Tuesday and keep on the winning trail ready for the next home league game next Saturday.

ALL dart fans will be thrilled that james carter scored a smahing hat trick today as he has worked so hard for the team and at times has been too unselfish for his own good

we dart fans appreciate james efforts for the team but he showed today what he can do in the oppos box with the right service so " sod it jim " let the others do a bit more , stay up front and continue to bang them in

great reaction from the rest of the team to james at the final whistle , teams actually win things with this spirit and camerade !!!!

mr and mrs C must have been extra proud today !!!!!!


UP THE DARTS

We are a potent attacking force, especially at home, we must continue this to maintain (and improve) our position, the danger we must avoid is letting in sloppy goals like we did today! It does give us stress on the terraces, but i cannot criticise the lads at the back, they are great overall.
Well done to the team for putting Enfield to the sword, a good run of home games now and we should all be happy with a win today. Well done JC great hattrick and sublime wing play to set them up.

The crowd was ok, considering some fans have to go shopping, (who wears the trousers?) i would much rather watch the Darts to going shopping! what's that all about?

Another 3 points - that makes me real happy!

Good performance from the lads today with 3 very well taken headers from Jimmy, congratulations on the hatrick Jim.
Well Done also to Ryan for his goal and for setting 1 of Jims goals up, also to Davey Martin as well for his fantastic work rate and that fantastic run down the left wing completely stripping the Enfield fullback to take the ball to the byline and then hitting in a hard low cross which just beat Eddie but fell just right for Ryan to smash into the roof of the net.

I thought Eddie's work rate in the game today was 1st class especially in the 1st half.

Some sloppy defending at times to give the opposition 2 very silly goals but hey they've been playing great in most matches so we can't complain to much about the odd slip up every now and then as long as it doesn't cost us to much.

Well Done on the result today Darts now lets hope we can make a real fight of the game on Tuesday night and hopefully we can have a good cup run in the KSC and who knows we could possibly even go on to win it.

An absolutely first class exhibition of top drawer wing play by Ryan Hayes and Dave Martin.  Any other side in our division would kill to have either of these talented players in their squads, and we have both of them. Absolutely brilliant!

James Carter as well. If he had enjoyed that quality of service perviously this season, then we wouldn't be even talking of a 20 goal striker, he would already have passed that mark. This is exactly what he should be doing, getting on the end of quality supply like this and scroing goals, not battling back to win the ball in midfield, although in fairness he did that as well on Saturday.

OK, a sloppy spell in the first 15 of the second half, but hey, I can live with that when we score four goals of that quality!

[The 5th Searcher]

I'd rather score 4 and have none against us but hey i won't be greedy.

Hopefully our goal difference will pick up fairly soon as we don't want the others above us pulling away and have us lose out on goal difference as we did over previous years.
