Agree about the ref, they (Camberley tried and succeeded) used every trick in the book to waste time, using Barnards experience, this blatant cheating could have resulted in 12 mins injury time!

Think we could play Bradbrook as well as Cass and May, worth a try. Kadi should be playing for us in the FACup.

We have another bite of the cherry, don't write us off yet, Camberley already think they've done it but we will all be putting in 100% on Tuesday.

I say again, LETS TAKE A NOISY BUNCH OF FANS DOWN THERE FOR THE REPLAY!

I do not see any need to press the panic button.  It has already been stated that the game could have been won before Camberly even managed a shot.  We are a better quality side without any doubt, but perhaps we need to run at this level of opponent occasionally and we certainly need to defend further up the pitch and not at the start of our own penalty area. 

I think the criticism of Jay is a little harsh.  He was being constantly assaulted by No. 6 throughout the game and received no protection from the men in black.  Shirt holding and pushing at the corners reached a new level today and the theatrics just before our final corner guaranteed that the referee would take the easy option and blow for a defensive free kick.  To give us a yellow card from this incident when a Camberly player had raised his hands at Cass in the build up summed up the officials performances.

As I am between jobs, this will be a replay that I can attend.  Roll on Tuesday.  Hopefully we will have a different person in control of the decisions, other than their No. 6, and the gamesmanship (I am being kind) will be brought rightly to book.

Come on you DARTS!

Overall a disappointing result but I still think we are good enough to win this and progress to the next round. I don't think criticism of individual players is going to help the situation.

If only the team could be more consistent and produce more displays as they did against Sittingbourne (away) and Sudbury (home). Still, like everyone else I'll be there on Tuesday cheering the lads on to (hopefully) victory!

I repeat my warning of a month ago.This team will win NOTHING. Kessell is TOO SHORT. The defence is TOO SLOW. This was one of the most incoherent aimless football  matches of this or any other season. We cannot put two passes together !. This was CRAP with a capital S. There is no point in having Jay May in the team as he has become totally ineffective. Even with Hayes and Kadi I expect us to struggle to win games. I think you will not see  a Dartford team out of R1N for several long hard seasons.

The pity is we will lose the crowd. What a shame!

No talk please of lucky strikes, two good goals against us yes but what do you expect if we don't close the forwards down, leave them plenty of space, allow them to run at goal and shoot from outside the area, definitely no lessons learnt from the Northwood game as the midfield was caught out with players too far up field and no where to be seen on the break.

The other obvious lesson we don't seem to learn is that we to can shoot from outside the area, something that we have rarely seen this season and one which has brought us few goals for but several against.

Of the match the usual first 20 minutes playing good football on the deck, creating two chances for Cassie and one for Greenie all missed, then a punt up field flicked on by Jay puts Cassie through and he scores the first, thereafter lets just punt the ball in the air, with Jay struggling worst than Wednesday to win headers.

Steve Norman was streets ahead of anyone else for M.O.M. as he was not only keeping their attack quiet down the left but having to play sweeper on several occasions intercepting and clearing the ball from the middle and right hand side as well and the only person in defence who tried to keep the ball on the deck when time allowed and pass it from the back.

Guesty did well to score our second, but for the most part we wasted free kicks and corners to the big men and created few chances to score from these tactics.

After the opening period Eddie had an unusually quite day and Greenie although working hard had little support in midfield as Moore is still doesn't look fit and we were missing Kadi.

Camberley were worthy of a draw today despite spoiling tactics throughout, whinging, pushing and complaining to the ref, but in the last few minutes had us holding our breath as they looked the more likely to get a winner.

Tuesday will be different I'm sure alah Sittingbourne, provided we take those early chances in the first 20 minutes when we tend to play good passing football and then we must continue to play using those tactics as the opposition is forced to push up, but if after the early period we haven't scored then we must maintain our discipline and be patient just like the Sudbury and Ilford games as 1-0 is just as good a result.

Not to forget the referee who was awful and had little or no control over the game and near the end was in danger of completely losing control as niggles between both sets of players threatened to create a punch up.(Will he be there for the replay?)

Yes, let's drop the leagues top scorer.

A generally disappointing performance by the Darts.  We played quite well in the first half had enough chances to kill the game in the first 10 minutes but again didn't take them. 

Surprised of the critisicm of Jay May, strikers can only perform on the service that they are given and generally the service to the forwards was dreadful.  So in my opinion critisicm is harsh. 

The midfield desperately missed someone to put their foot on the ball and do a simple pass (Kadi filled the role perfectly last week).  McClements and O'Brien didn't play as pair and the Camberley midfield often flooded past McClements who  seemed like he couldn't be bothered to track back and with a bit more quality from Camberley we could have lost the game late in the second half.

Note for Tony Burman - please please please make substitutions earlier and give them the opportunity to influence the game.

Note for defence - starting to look really good Steve Norman total quality today, could easily play at a higher level.

Note for midfield - please show up at the replay

Although we didn't play well, we still had enough chances to win that game easily. True Jay didn't have a good game but what's all this nonsense about him being dropped? At Northwood we didn't create hardly any chances and defensively we were shocking. How people can compare the two games I don't know. Camberley were a fair team who used all the tricks in the book and the ref fell for it. There were two mind boggling decisions by the referee. One on the first half where Jay got shoved off the ball but hilariously got a foul given against him. Then the succession of corners in the 2nd half where frankly the number 8 was a disgrace. He wasn't even looking at the ball but was looking at the Dartford player. He was niggling, fouling and put the head in and got away with it. Next corner comes in Jay goes for the ball is pulled back again. The Camberley player goes down like a cow with "blue tongue" disease and Jay get's booked! I'm afraid the young lads near me learnt a few new swear words yesterday. It was telling that for all the niggling going on by Camberley, only two players got booked, Guesty and Jay!!! Perhaps we need to wise up.

Still confident we'll beat them on Tuesday.

Let's take the positives out of the day.

We are in the hat tomorrow for the second round, as per Tony's notes!!
I reckon he wanted a midweek match and then give the lads a 10 day break from matches rather than the full two weeks :laugh: :laugh:

AFC Sudbury 2 Arlesley 2. That gives us the opportunity to draw level with Sudbury if we can win our two games in hand. Who would have said that was a possibility three weeks ago?

I know Camberley have been going great guns in their own league, and not surprisingly, full of confidence scoring goals at their level. However, I'm sure we can repeat the Sittingbourne scenario again, and the boys will be well aware of the upsets that happen in the FA Cup given a certain result on the south coast yesterday!

COYD  All the best for the replay and I will be logged in for updates.

The defence is TOO SLOW.

????

I think one of the things that is agreed by almost everyone was the fact that the defence has played very well the last few games. Not sure I know where you're coming from.

the defence played well yesterday but as identified by most fans  the midfield was overun and the two goals came from the fact tjhat as several times this season teams score " great " goals against us [ t.i.c] cause they have gone AWOL

either the personnel or the system are to blame as its happening every week [ only last ditch great defending against sudbury got us through] the only time this season we have looked up to scratch was when the midfield were snapping and snarling at sittingbourne ankles and they didnt get chance to play

i know its a TEAM game but at present we have the a very good defence , very good strikers but ........................??????????????

They won't be getting ten days off as the Aveley game has now been rearranged for Tuesday 9th.

So far this season has been quite a frustrating one and I think the reason is that everyone knows that with the squad we have there is a combination that can do well in the cups and win the league but TB has not yet found that combination.At least these cup games and replays give another chance to try and find it without compromising our League situation.

I agree with a previous poster that said we ought to be shooting more from outside the box...assuming our forwards can hit the target we will at least give the keeper something to think about .
