adonirum Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Went along to the FA Cup match on Saturday. I know this will irk the die-hard fans out there, but it was abject c$$p. There did not appear to be any commitment or passion from the players, and I thought the skills level was very poor. Is this sort of showing the norm for the club, or was this a particularly bad "off day"? The opponents Worthing completely out played Dulwich. I am not a football aficionado, but I see that they are a level below Dulwich. In recent years, I have only been to non-league football matches and then only the early rounds of the FA Cup at clubs who are at level five( there's something fascinating about seeing the small clubs who start the competition playing "in the local park"). These clubs seem to be no different to what I witnessed on Saturday. I must say, after a 15 year gap, I was looking forward to better. Great crowd atmosphere and participation, though. Again, is this the norm or was it just a "bad day at the office"? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/49102-dhfc-was-this-the-norm/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otta Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I didn't see the match you're talking about, but they did lose a couple of players includinge the star man over the summer, and I think there is a feeling that a bit of rebuilding is happening. But generally I think the level of football is quite decent.

El Pibe Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Can't speak for this season, I saw a couple of cracking encounters last season and a couple of horrors, so i guess like all things there are ups and downs.They've certainly been heading the right direction though and glad to see the crowds are on the up too.

adonirum Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 Otta Now that you've mentioned the loss of the star man, I'm thinking I heard of a player signing to a league club?El Pibe Guess that's right - "ups and downs" - I just expected something better/different and the crowd must have been about 500, which was fantastic, as opposed to the 80 - 100 at the other grounds I attended Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/49102-dhfc-was-this-the-norm/#findComment-781903 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratty Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I went about 3 weeks ago and thought the commitment was good. Opponents were Lewes I think.Have to day I thought the "ultras" behind the goal were a bit sad, but each to their own.

El Pibe Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 You can't say that, you get told to stop being a misery, especially if you use the word hipsters, students, commies or ironicprotestoomuchjohhniecomlatelies ;) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/49102-dhfc-was-this-the-norm/#findComment-781985 Share on other sites More sharing options...
