Burch will be 'fulfilling his potential' back at Tonbridge Angels from Saturday.

Burch back at Tonbridge :cry:, I hope that's just a short loan spell to give him some match time and he returns to Darts soon!

A thoroughly enjoyable match and result. I seem to remember an article in a famous former DFC publication once, entitled "4-4-2 Originaal and Best", and boy, did Tuesday's performance reflect that view?!!!

I agree with Rambo's previous comment that to play 4-5-1 at this level, the lone forward has to be something very special, which is a rare commodity. Chapion was outstanding in midfiled alongside Shinn and that gave Harris the (non striking!) wide midfield freedom which is clearly his best position to come in a score goals from. The whole team looked well balanced and very comfortable, and well worth the 3-0 win. With the monkey off our back now, I expect us to proper in this league.

Youngy gets MOTM from me, outstanding pen save and 3 or 4 other top drawer stops as well to keep us on top - and a well merited clean sheet.

I smiled when Danny got cautioned for diving. It did go through my mind that there may have been an acknowledgement of our comments after the last few games when a few of us said how "street wise" some opponents were; quick to go to ground etc. It almost looked as if Danny suddenly remembered this when he felt a touch from the defender, but a spil secnd too late to make it look like a genuine fall!!!!!

For a variety of reasons I was unable to get to this match as originally planned. Having read the reports and watched the video I'm now wondering whether bit would be better for the team if I stayed away from Saturday's match too!

yes please ,stay at home.then again dont believe in that mumbo jumbo stuff,just turn up and enjoy Lincoln

Sorry to dissapoint you Unc but in my opinion i honestly don't think Adam is up to it at this level and Tonbridge may be a good move.He clearly has ability and pace but it seems a complete lack of awareness of whats going on around him.As we play at a higher level we have to have players that can look up.Nothing personal and i would loved to be proved wrong but i honestly cant see him getting in the team.

It was my Hero Terry Sullivan who was brought down in the box at Millwall for our penalty, we were running them ragged at the time. The winner was scored directly from a free-kick from about 20yds., and we were behind that goal.
Graham stated after that he thought Millwall played very well, not a thing about our display. Ignorant git

I was at that game and we did play well and were unlucky. I remember Graham not giving the Darts any praise too.

Terry Sullivan. Half God, half demon. One of my favourite ever Dartford players, but I'm fairly sure that in a previous life, he played for Bishops Stortford and was responsible for edging us out of a Trophy semi final. Wonderfull player for us mind. xbow

Scored in both Bishops Stortford semi final legs Ken. It was the previously mentioned Joe Simmonds that converted the disgracefully awarded penalty that ended our Wembley dream.

I liked the way Terry Sullivan earned penalties for Dartford- whether it was a penalty or not. We are discussing being cute and street wise on here- Terry Sullivan was one of the most street wise players I have seen for us.

Plenty of good comments on the game, I've only just got back from head office so my only chance to post on the game is now.

Firstly I voted for Andy as M.O.M. and I must get that in before any other comments (as I do sometimes tend to criticise aspects of his game) but he once again showed us that whatever his failing in certain area's he is a bl**dy good shot stopper which is what everyone has recognised and he thoroughly deserved to get the number of votes he has gained. WELL DONE ANDY the penalty save alone probably kept us in the game after we had just scored.

A good all round performance and three well taken goals  plus that all important clean sheet sent everyone home happy.

Champion if anyone was my only other contender for M.O.M. (they all did well) as he was getting stuck in all over the pitch and his verbal contribution to team mates be it praise or bo****kings is what was needed to keep them on their toes.

Before the game when we saw Lurch coming up to us to take his place in goal most of us were saying no chance at high crosses so keep the ball low as he wont get down to it and Danny's goal was a typical example.

Ryno achieved as others have stated elsewhere his 1 in 5 ratio of good crosses from set pieces or out wide, but the best two by far were those right foot chances for Burnsy & Charlie clearly shown on the video with the second resulting in a goal.(Plus plenty of hard work tracking back)

Well done to him as I do moan on occasions, but he is just so frustrating at times, but does come up with the goods sooner or later be it left foot/right foot/cross/or shot.

Looking forward to Saturday, far to many games against The Fleet to remember them all or have a favourite (apart from the Boxing Day abandoned saga) but I do know that this one will be the one that all the fans have been waiting for whatever the result , but it will be a favovourite and one to remember should we win it.

What a great performance and result. Well done TB and the boys. Thought Youngy was brilliant and made some really good saves including the penalty. Dont know what you guys think but i feel TB should switch Rhino and Danny on opposite wings for 10-15 mins just to mix things up and allow some quality crosses come in. When Rhino has to cut in on his left foot it becomes a bit predictable sometimes. I know he works on his right foot but it needs to be better. Think a change of wing for a small period of time might get his confidence up.

Totally disagree (with regards to the BS match). Hayzie's right footed cross made for Charlie's goal and he was getting more joy out of the full back as he played as if he was going to stay down the right. I don't think a change of wing is going to help - I think more time, if anything, out on the right flank causing mischief is required :)
