Dartford boss Ady Pennock praises Eddie Dsane’s attitude as striker caps impressive 4-0 Isthmian Premier win against Billericay Town with final goal

Eddie Dsane’s attitude has been praised by Dartford manager Ady Pennock.

Striker Dsane came off the substitutes’ bench to score the final goal in a 4-0 Isthmian Premier win over promotion rivals Billericay at Princes Park last weekend.

It was a fairly familiar story for the former Margate player. Half of his 10 goals this season have come since the beginning of November - despite only starting one league game in that period.

Nevertheless, the 27-year-old has certainly played his role in Dartford’s fine form.

“I love Eddie,” said Pennock. “It’s so difficult.

“Whether it’s Eddie, Tyler Christian-Law, Duane Ofori-Acheampong, Jeremiah Pinder or Louis Dunne, I wish I could play 18 or 20 players at times.

“Eddie came on during Saturday’s game and I just knew he was going to score. His attitude is unbelievable, as well.

Pennock on the Darts’ fine form after huge win

“I speak to them all individually and I’m almost having to apologise to some of them about why they’re not starting.

“Eddie does come off the bench and scores goals, but we just need to keep doing what we’re doing and being sensible.”

Another to shine from the bench against Billericay was Louis Dunne.

Having dropped out of the starting line-up to be replaced by defender Mike Olarewaju, Dunne was called into action midway through the first half as Samir Carruthers came off with a hamstring issue for the second successive game.

“It’s not a problem,” said Pennock, who was also forced to replace top scorer Olly Box and captain Josh Hill due to knocks in the second half.

“Samir isn’t 21 any more - but what he brings on the pitch and what he brings to the changing room is fantastic.

“Obviously, we want him to play for 90 minutes.
