Few fumbles by RCC plus 1 great save. Quite an enjoyable game.

We played some quite good football at times. Shame we couldn't keep another clean sheet but still a very workmanlike performance by every player.

A solid, professional performance. One that has been missing over the last few seasons. Good to see.

Last season's shower would have lost that.  It's a welcome feeling to have a side again that is professional even if a bit limited.

A home tie with the senior team in Oxford would be good.

Bit more than 'professional' I'd say.  Some excellent goals.

To be honest if w played that way against most League Two sides and a far chunk of League One then we would tear them apart. I know we had more time on the ball but Dartford have a good set up. This could easily have been a cup upset. The ball on the ground was sublime at times as well as still committed to a good old fashioned tackle. Professional and workmanlike performance from all today. Goals from Linganzi & Elsnik will boost their confidence. The commentator at one point said "you can see why Swindon are doing well in L2...the way they pass the ball around" Haha, he's obviously not seen us much (however, when we have got the ball down we have actually played some good stuff or at least played with good intent/ideas).

Chesterfield at home next and the lads should be preparing to go all out for a 3+ goal fest. It'll be a different game but i'd say Dartford could give Chesterfield a good run at the moment. Great set up there and I think they deserve to be at Conference proper level. Credit to them for putting on a decent match with a team that tried to play, unfortunately for them we were too strong for them in physicality and dare I say it, quality. Today was definitely men against boys, just this time Swindon were he men and we deserved the victory.

A Beavertown Lupeloid IPA and a Fourpure Juicebox Citrus IPA in a larger can. Would have had more of a Porter style but forgot my bottle opener and they were all in bottles!

That's a brave 'go to' beer! Lupeloid is amazing but you don't need very many to get absolutely arseholed!

Absolutely, and I think 99% of fans would acknowledge that.

It's clinical, efficient football, with goal threats throughout the team and a solid defensive base. Loads of potential.

Was actually going to mention the "Rovers" game but i'm torn. I guess it's better than a training game, so a win in two cup matches would set us up nicely and if (we should) we win against Chesterfield then we could truly start saying we have winning momentum. That can only be good. Despite the Boycott Cup being an inconvenience.

The fifth goal was befitting of Ossie's 89/90 side. "Are you watching Robert t???"  Cool Wink
