Dartford’s management team are always learning, according to coach Martin Tyler.

The football commentator has decades of experience watching the game’s elite alongside spending the best part of this century next to Darts boss Alan Dowson in the dugout.

The non-league journey has included success at the likes of Woking and Hampton previously, and now they’re plotting a promotion push with Dartford in National League South.

A 2-0 home win over Chippenham ended a run of three league games without a win for Dartford, and Tyler insisted his football education is still ongoing.

“It’s such a results business,” he said. “With the Premier League I have a privilege to share two different leagues, there’s a lot of education for an old so and so like me, you’re always learning.

“You just try to improve. We want to improve the players, we want to improve the club and we want to improve ourselves. That’s a philosophy for everybody really but I’ve tried to live by that, and there’s still plenty of room for improvement.

“Every day is a challenge, there’s usually something happening about the football club.

“The reason I’ve been involved with Dowse for 17 years is that I’m extremely cheap, we’re striding on together and we’d love to do here what he’s done at all the clubs he’s been at.

“If we can do another one here it would be truly amazing. Whenever I come off the junction of the motorway and see the ground, it’s always a nice feeling because it’s a very nice football club.

“We’ve been looked after extremely well and the only way we can pay that back is by getting the results.”

Dartford got back to winning ways for the first time since early January on Saturday.

Despite their relatively poor run, Tyler revealed that there was plenty of enjoyment building up to the game.

“We’ve had a fun week to be honest, it was really light-hearted,” he said.

“We played a few youngsters at Ebbsfleet (in the Kent Senior Cup) and they played quite a strong side so we were pleased with the 90 minutes, it showed us a few things.

“Then on Thursday we had a lot of fun in training, Dowse made it really low key to try and relax the players. There’s more pressure when you’re near the bottom of the league but there is a pressure at the top, especially with the rivalry with Ebbsfleet, but we’re doing okay.

“We’ve had three games where we haven’t been so good. It was a big day, the sort of game that we were expected to win but there was no sense of over-confidence in the dressing room.

“When you’re not winning, you look at confidence and you look at picking the right team – and I think the manager did that.”

Dowson handed a debut to keeper Ben Dudzinski, signed from league rivals Oxford City, and he kept a clean sheet.

It was two goals at the beginning of each half, from midfielders Jack Smith and Luke Allen, that did the damage.

“We had a new goalkeeper in and it was a nice start for Ben with a clean sheet,” added Tyler. “We’ve let a lot of goals in during the last 10 minutes so it was a bit nervy in the dugout.

“The early goal got us off and running. We’ve actually scored some amazing goals when we haven’t been winning.

“We scored two great goals at Welling, a really good goal in the Kent Cup in midweek when we lost, so at least the quality shone through in a win.

“We can play, we like to get the ball forward but we’ve got some very talented players in our team.

“All credit to Chippenham, they were an energetic, young team fighting at the other end of the table and they gave us a really good game.

“It’s been a good day at the office, we’ve used the expression bad day at the office a few times recently so a good day.”
