Take a look through Hakan's match notes from our game against Cheshunt on Good Friday

Good afternoon to all our fans,

I’ve been immensely proud of leading this football club over the last month, it’s a completely different vibe and feeling being here than any club I’ve worked at previously. It is an honour and a privilege to be managing a team that has got so many supporters, it’s just an amazing experience turning up and seeing so many of you at the ground.

One of my jobs is to connect the team with this support and that is what I am trying to do and hopefully people have been able to see that in the games with St Albans, Havant and Oxford.

It is massively important that we make this ground a fortress, we need our supporters to stay vocal. I spoke to a group of fans when I first came in to let them how important it is to hear them during games and how my passion can be relayed to them, and from them to the team. The fans have been unbelievable since I’ve been there and long may it continue. We need the fans to continue to get behind the team, and likewise, the team needs to show their appreciation towards the supporters.

There have been noticeable improvements since I came in because we have taken points off teams in the top seven, but it’s an ongoing process of improvement, we can’t wave a magic wand and fix everything straight away, but we have given ourselves a real fighting chance of staying up.

We have been inconsistent and that comes down to a few reasons. Firstly, we must continue to work on our fitness levels. With ten minutes to go at Bath we should have been seeing that game out. Then there a discipline issue with the amount of goals we have let in, with the quality of players we have at the club this shouldn’t be happening, it comes down to organisation, discipline and fitness, things that me and my team pride ourselves on and why we’ve been able to win four leagues together.

If I have one criticism of my team, it is that our performance against Dartford was not one I would want to be associated with and wasn’t a team I recognised which I was bitterly disappointed with. In the short time I have been here I have tried to impose myself and my ideas on the boys and that was not the standards I expect, so we need to turn that around, starting with today’s game, and make sure we are at the races and compete.

Cheshunt under Craig Edwards will be a tough outfit, but when you get to this stage of the season, everyone ups their standards, whether they are trying to survive or push for the playoffs, and a couple of blips aside, we have raised our standards over the last month, and if we continue to do so, believe me we will see a much different Dulwich next season.

Be loud once again and thank you for your support,

Hak
