National League Fixtures : 09/09/17

[Bendubz]

Woking were a rowdy lot, plenty of noise but 2 different incidents of it all kicking off in the stands, after the first and second goals. Think the first one was because of one of ours but the second was definitely a needless attack by a Woking fan judging by the video.

 

[doveranddover]

we are at home to our bogey team boreham wood tuesday, so might not be top for long

 

[Farleigh]

Well done Dover. How many teams have been top this season? Nice confident performance from Maidstone. Orient fall victim to the curse of plastic again. But this is Premier League plastic, so allowed.

 

[Bluandwite]

Well that was better, should have won.

Decent manager should see us rise up a bit, hopefully.

 

[E10rifle]

Tighter than a nun's chuff, this division. Can confidently predict that this is because everyone is absolute shit.

 

[Mark kavanagh]

How ironic barrow spend the whole second half rolling around like the opening scene from saving private ryan then we score after 95 mins.... oooo the irony!!

We were a different side when we went 442 we created more in 10 mins then in 4 games.

Highlight of the game was connor jennings telling a mouthy ' one game a season' Bloke to leave if he didnt like it they then had a 2 minute argument after which this fool looked over his shoulder expecting some kind of praise only for about 30 of us to tell him what we thought.... stewards had to come in in his interests he was about to be lynched.... he sloped off 5 min later

 

[B2TF]

Ah, so everyone expected us to be off like a rocket so it's not worth mentioning right? We're gonna piss it again by the looks of it.

 

[fifaking]

We still haven't conceded in the second half of any game this season. I don't think Torquay are as bad as it looks right now, will take a point.

It's not a bad result agreed, sounded like a poor game in not so great conditions.

Hartlepool at home next which is set up nicely now with them winning 3 in a row, hopefully a good crowd

 

[Reginald Fodstain]

We were terrible for most of the game, but the Kop really got behind the team for the last half hour and dragged us over the line for a win that was for most of the game undeserved. Barrow will feel they deserved at least a point, but after all that rolling around on the floor I have no sympathy at all.

Looking forward to it. A win for us would be huge, but it will be a tough game. Having Watson and Ledger at the back instead of Harrison and Laing has transformed the side.

 

[GuiseleySteve]

Eastleigh came to Guiseley and played for the draw! Offered very little going forward, only one decent chance created in the whole game which fell to Guiseleys Jake Lawlor who proceded to sky his shot over the bar from six yards!
Still we got a point.

 

[Chief Rocka]

Looking forward to it. A win for us would be huge, but it will be a tough game. Having Watson and Ledger at the back instead of Harrison and Laing has transformed the side.

Unreal isn't it, having two centre halves than can do the basics with ease, Harrison would've been on his arse several times today 1 on 1 with Ferrier, Watson mopped him up.

 

[Sparrow]

Our luck ran out and Maidstone's 3G pitch scored a hat-trick. Plenty of our moron element out in force today.

 

[Railway Blue]

Classic Woking

Our first home win in a year will come against Woking on 3rd October.

 

[The Terminator]

We were poor today, on par with how we played away at Sutton on the first day. First half was a tight affair I thought, but BW took their chance and scored when they were on top.

Second half George Elokobi's one mistake per game cost us the second goal and our heads dropped, we never looked like getting back into the game despite having good possession, BW keeper had literally nothing to do but collect crosses.

In truth we should've really been 3-0 down long before the end as we got caught on the counter attack three times.

BW have a very tidy side, the first side this season apart from ourselves I've seen who try and play the ball on the floor.

They lied about the attendance as well - Claiming they had around 600 of the 1,900 crowd - My arse they did!

Also Wrexhams 0-0 cost me £370 - I thought they were nailed on winners FFS!

 

[yellow]

I don't think Torquay are as bad as it looks right now, will take a point.

It's our strongest squad for a number of years (on paper) but they've been slow to justify that claim.

Still - doesn't sound like I missed much again. Not been since Tranmere and don't intend to go any time soon, due to farcical off-field situation.

 

[Luke Imp]

Well done to Dover and Kinnear so far this season. I thought they'd struggle but no signs of that at the minute.

 

[doveranddover]

We may not have a certain forward, but we are much better at the back. no orlu for a start.

Miller made his debut today

ebbsfleet draw...again

Starting to get players back from injury, The wins will come. We're proving hard to beat, just need to find remember how to play in the first half!

Two home games on the bounce now, Aldershot and Tranmere. If our unbeaten run is going to end, it'll be one of these two I reckon.

 

[Redbank]

We are top of the league , say, we are top of the league, OK may be for 72 hours as we have Boring Wood on Tuesday , who tonked us 4-1 last season at home , and always seem to beat us, but as far as I know , 93rd placed club in the country, its the highest position Dover have ever achieved..... part time as well ................. A solid win at Aldershot, who started the better but were not able to penetrate our defence, and as the game drew on. we grew stronger and after the second went in, there was only going to be one winner 144 Dover fans, the rest very quiet Aldershot fans. try to get a look at Dover's second goal, good goal or poor defending, nice to get one over the smug mug Aldershot manager, who in his interview has a dig at their fans as well , expect normality to return on Tuesday but for now , we will live the dream........ As footnote what a disgrace Aldershot F C are. in the way they treat away fans...

 

[B2TF]

Well that was better, should have won.

Decent manager should see us rise up a bit, hopefully.

Surely to God you've got to get a decent manager sooner or later. Thought Burr might have been the man, initially but soon went south- maybe it's not the manager that is the problem? Successful clubs are built top down, ie it all starts in the boardroom- I've still to be convinced fan owned clubs are able to deliver on this score. Whatever the reason, Chester have always looked to be packed with piss poor players, whenever I've seen them in this division.

Yeah - I was standing next to the guy.. when your second went in he headed straight for the Maidstone fans to start a fight. Didn't see what happened but saw him and a few others being dragged out after.

Heard the first incident was a Maidstone fan spitting at a Woking fan.

Could tell something was going to happen in the 2nd half between the Maidstone and Woking wannabe pikey crews in their stone island gear and shit shiny adidas caps.

Who wears caps anymore?

 

[Raymondo316]

Orient are still unbeaten on grass. Damn Boreham Wood with their part plastic pitch!!

 

[RLC]

Well done to Dover and Kinnear so far this season. I thought they'd struggle but no signs of that at the minute.

Yes, a great effort by them, but also an indication of how average the league is this season. No outstanding team (so far).

 

[Raymondo316]

No. I'll buy DarkSithLord all the Star Wars memorabilia he wants if DSY scores.

Is it likely to be segregated?

DSL get your order in

 

[MTFC_07]

It wasn't a great game at Solihull. I thought Macc probably edged it over the 90 minutes although neither team often looked like scoring. The turning point was Jalal producing a brilliant save from a penalty, which had come about during Solihull's best spell of the game, before Scott Wilson scored an excellent solo goal against the run of play. Solihull never really threatened after that and we probably should have scored again.

I've been to 8 of our 9 games so far, and I have to say I'm not convinced by our team, which I think is possibly weaker than previous seasons. Imagine my surprise then when I come out of the ground, check the table and see we're only 3 points off top spot!

I think their pitch is more of a hybrid of grass and astro turf, our unbeaten record on grass has gone sadly!

Won't be us mate - we're properly wobbling at the moment with 9 first teamers out injured. Home banker on Tuesday.

This league is mad this time around , no one seems to be convinced by their teams.... us included

Or they're massively injury hit like ourselves.
