A very welcome early Christmas present. I thought we dominated the game apart from a spell of about 10 minutes towards the end of the first half where we rode our luck a little to keep the ball out of our net. This was the weakest Dartford side we’ve played for many years & they didn’t even do the ugly stuff well which usually comes with a Dowson side.
Whilst we were control it did feel slightly like game was drifting towards a draw until Shaun Jeffers stepped up to find another magical goal at Dartford, out of absolutely nothing, to turn the game in our favour. A close range header from the returning Michael Clark & an outstanding strike from Hamid in stoppage time made the win look more empathic.
I thought Noble got his team selection today was spot on, Hoddle was dropped into the back four on the right hand side & was excellent. The returning Clark & Partington in particular were really impressive & kept Bradbury quiet. Only really Gio had a real off day, who up until the corner for the second goal barely found a blue shirt all afternoon!
It was promising to see Zane & Johnson joining in the warm ups before the game, hopefully they are not far away from a return to the side. The squad finally feels like it’s getting back to strength and hopefully we can push on for a positive end to the season.

I don’t know what Noble said to the team at half time, but it worked! The first half was very poor for both sides, but the longer the game went on the better we played, with three really good goals. Well done, lads!

Yeah, the players coming back from injury or about to come back, is always a good sign, we've just got to try and stay as fit as possible.
If we can, who knows, we could gate crash the play-offs if we have a settled team going into the new year and into the 2nd half of the season, also confidence is key, perhaps some good results on the spin will get the confidence and a winning mentality going
