Both. They're removing a footbridge.

We gave 9 spaces on the coach as of last night. 

Thanks for the reply ARAAS.

Just read that they are demolishing a footbridge for the so called smart motorway.

The diverted traffic might be a problem for the Dartford coach.

Dartford were struggling until interim manager Tony Burman took charge.

They lost the first game of his tenure 4-3 to Dorking and have won now their last two games without conceding a goal against Concord and Horsham in the cup.

According to the Dartford match review, we've played Dartford 5 times since 1981 with three wins to Dartford and two draws with an average of 3.8 goals per game.

By that reckoning a 0-0 draw must be on the cards  ?

We have told Scott that he needed to go and play senior football this season, as in all honesty not quite ready for our level of football, and after going to Badshot Lea initially, Basingstoke came in for him and having spoken to Martin Kuhl at the time, the move worked for Scott.

He scores today in a 4-3 win, however it is unlikely with what we have that we will see him again this season, as important he just plays football.

Fantastic result and performance today after going 2-0 down and looking like it might be one of those days.

We did start slowly and were put under pressure by their wide players especially their number 10 Luke Wanadio who looked a classy player giving Josh Jackman a hard time. 

The two goals we conceded were both from set pieces, admittedly from good deliveries but from a defensive point of view a couple of poor goals to concede.

The goal we scored just before half time by Dan Roberts was superbly taken and came at a crucial time in the game giving us the impetus we needed going into the second half.

We came out firing in the second half and the equalizer from Matt Lench came after an excellent move set up by Dan Roberts and nicely put away by Lenchy.

By now we were well on top and some good play down the left by Max Worsfold ended with a superb cross picking out the head of Ben Harris who finished low down to the keepers right.   

MOTM for me was Matt Lench with another superb performance from him.

COYR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A superb performance & a fantastic result..... with the way we were playing even at 2-0 down I don’t think there were many Slough fans who doubted we could get something out of the match, and at 2-2 with 25 minutes to go most thought we had the momentum to go on for the win.

For me Mat Lench was tremendous and was my Man of the Match, but a couple of Dartford fans walked the length of the stadium to ask how old our number 19 was and remark about how impressed they were with him.... they made a mental note of Dan Roberts name, and I think they sensed they would likely see him playing at a much higher level one day.

On a side note, elsewhere there was a bizarre moment at Yeovil where 8 ball boys were red carded..... did we have a little lad on our bench that the referee sent to the stands?

125-150 Slough fans at a guess despite quite a few familiar regulars seemingly not being there. Shows how much the core group of away fans has grown last few years. More and more faces being seen regularly at away games

Thought we were bit unlucky to be 2 down. Mad few minutes were we didn't pick up attackers on set plays put us up against it. 

Even at 2-0 down it felt like it was far from over for us but the quick goal back was vital. Brilliant finish from Roberts and Dartford quickly started looking fragile in terms of confidence. 

2nd half at 2-1 it felt like the next team to score would go on to win it. After a few good chances early on it was superb play on halfway by Lench to take us on a counter attack. Roberts held it up well before feeding Lench for a cool as you like finish. 

Dartford then took off the #7 who was getting a lot of freedom down our left. Quite pleased to see them take him off tbh.

Having been 2-0 down 2-2 would have been a good result really but no surprise when another goal went in. Really good stooping header right into the corner to seal it by Ben. 

All in all another great win. Who knows how long this form will last but lets enjoy it while it lasts and who knows how high we can go this season.
