Dover equalise! 1-1

[Tony_T]

Bugger! Well played Margate - much the better side just not quite the result we needed!

 

Thanks Wellsie!

[MargateFan]

Draw better than a loss, and we played well. I am more optimistic than I was at the beginning of the year.

[Margate Martian]

Well played gate!! needed the win but least we didnt lose!!

 

Bye all!!

[Andy .]

out played Dartford in the 1st half but we kept sitting back and let them come forward to much in the 2nd half , pleased we got a point but should have got all 3 in my book . Up the Gate .

KENNY PRATT OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE TODAY .

[Ian_Sanderson]

After beating The Darts at there Concrete jungle, i fully expected you to win this afternoon,listening to it on Gate Radio, it sounded like 2 points dropped today.

[TonyM]

IMO,it was,first half there keeper played a great game and kept them in it,should have been 3 up at half time.Great game and nice crowd,well done the GATE.

[Ian_Sanderson]

God its so tight down the, even the goals against can put a club down 3 places

[Jake]

Great performence today from the gate! felt we was the much better team, first half as Tony said we could've easily been 3-0 up but their keeper pulled off some world class saves. Second Half we let ourselfs down a bit but played some lovely stuff in the build up to Kenny Pratts great goal but as it was looking we'd get the 3 points Gross scores a fantastic goal from about 35 yards.

 

Well done to the lads today, played fantastic and IMO was a good result. Also well done to Dartford for bringing such great support with them.

 

UP THE GATE!!!

Yeah,it must be so boring being a Dover fan

I personnally thought we were too narrow and everything went down the left or through the middle. Could be wrong but I can't remember one attack, of ours, down the right all afternoon.

 

When we're attacking we must utilise both wings and be able to switch play. Did anyone actually see a player of ours out wide right today? Or should I make an appointment at the opticians?

 

I'm not knocking the team, they played very well, but Dartford were there for the taking. If we could have played the full width of the pitch, when in possession, we'd have had a cricket score to report this evening.

Good game I thought overall Datford not a bad side but we were well worth a point and probably shaded it certainly on chances. great support again today and at the final whistle, didnt not hear much ctiticism and our support could be worth a few extra points. Didnt think Dan Stubbs had much of a game but Wayne Wilson in my opinion has improved all through the season, very consistent.

TY has in my opinion improved this team no end and the young local lads are a credit to us. Lots of positives today and am enjoying the football we play.

[TonyM]

I think we played some cracking football today,quick one,twos,plenty of shots,shame Wilson did not have his shooting boots on,Kenny never stopped and ran there defence into the ground,TY has certainly got the Blues going.UP THE GATE.

it was a good perfoprmance today, and Pratt and Peters were great again today. i thought the own goal was absolutely hilarious- the keeper tried to clear a long ball, but kicked it into one of his defenders, and it went behind him into the goal. after that, the keeper looked a mess for the rest of the half, but we couldnt capitalise...

 

i thought it was a good game, and even though i didnt expect us to win before the match, we dominated the game and should have had all 3 points. the disappointing thing for me was TY decision to take of Pratt in the second half. he was immense today, and Bailey, who came on for him, didnt do much at all.

 

and Hippy was right about the right wing. we didnt use it enough. i can remember Bailey going down the right wing once, but he lost the ball near the corner flag... im guessing that Lacy isnt much of an attacker... except for his throws...

[dannyriding]

Sorry to see we didnt get the full 3 points, but even the OAP choir were up for it today, we was robbed - even the dartford fans couldnt understand why we are at the bottom of the league, Im thinking we wont be there for long!!!!

[TonyM]

Kenny was taken off because he was compleatly knackerd.

[StuyRandall]

hardly surprising, he chased everything. he was the man of the match, without a doubt

[Dutch_Mike]

Entertaining game, thought we were the better team and deserved all three points, but, still, a creditable point against a team who are flying high. Looked good going forward and, as others have said, Pratt was awesome today: never stopped running, terrified their defence all game and scored a good left volley which he could so easily have blazed over; he deserved his ovation.

 

Dartford certainly were there for the taking though; I felt if we could have scored at the end of the first half, when they really were all at sea at the back, we would have gone onto win the game. Thought we looked quite shaky at the back in the second half.

 

Couldn't see what the ref gave the penalty for. Granted, I was down the other end, but to give handball when, from my view, the player's hand weren't raised, was very harsh. And what about that chance at the death? Healy... what a chance!!! Still, thought he had a good game, despite that, and he did score a cracker in our last home game, can't expect him to do it every game I suppose!

 

Nice bit of banter between the choir and the 'OAPs' in the second half: long may it continue!

 

Overall, proud of the lads today, were unlucky not to get the win. Most other results went our way, and I think if we play like that for the rest of the season, we'll be alright.

[dannyriding]

Dutch u hit the game right on the head, unlucky to not get the full three points, but dont WE all feel good watching OUR team playing so well at long last.

[geoff pay]

YES YES YES
