Cherries: Sheringham returns to Dartford on loan

3:00pm Wednesday 20th March 2013 in Sport Photograph of the Author By Neil Perrett

FIT-again Cherries striker Charlie Sheringham has today rejoined former club Dartford on a month’s loan.

Sheringham signed for Cherries from the-then Conference South outfit in October 2011 before he was struck down by a serious foot injury just two months later.

The 24-year-old was sidelined for 14 months after fracturing a bone in his foot when he netted his maiden goal in the Football League during Cherries’ 1-1 draw at Brentford on Boxing Day 2011.

Sheringham, restricted to just six appearances, including four from the bench, took his first steps on the comeback trail when he was given a 45-minute run-out during Cherries’ Hampshire Senior Cup semi-final win at AFC Totton a fortnight ago.

Dartford, who host Gateshead on Saturday, are currently mid-table in the Conference having won the Conference South play-off final against Welling United in May.

News of a proposed loan move for Sheringham was revealed exclusively by Cherries boss Eddie Howe in Saturday's Daily Echo.

Howe said: "Charlie may need a loan period to get some games for the last part of his rehabilitation. He has been out for a long time and has done well in training. He has looked bright and sharp but has only had one game.

“I think the next stage for him will be to get some regular football but we will have to wait and see. If we get a couple of injuries, we may have to re-assess it but I think it would be a good path for him.”

Makes sense and then he should be match fit for the start of next season.

Yes a good move for him and sharpen him up. Looked a good prospect.
.
Just puzzled why the Echo has billed this a breaking news ?? What is breaking news about it exactly!! If we had signed Rooney on loan from Man Utd I would have understood it.
.
Let's hope he hits the target for Dartford regularly because I have the awful feeling that he is one player that may be released as he may not fot into Eds plans.
.
I do hope I am wrong.

I wish Charlie all the best of course, but I can't ultimately see him figuring in Eddie's plans to be honest, especially if we get promoted.
UTCIAD!

The right move for Charlie as everyone says. If we are going to be promoted this season it will be down to a small squad of players who hopefully stay fit. Allsop,Jalal,Cook,Se
aborne,Francis,Danie
ls,Elphick,Pugh,OKan
e,Arter,Hughes,
Fogden,Ritchie,Tubbs
,Pitman,Grabban.
Fletch,If we have to bring anyone else in at this stage we may be in trouble. Have I forgotten anyone?

I really can't see him featuring again and believe he will be part of the impending clearout in the summer.

It's called "breaking news" because it's just broken. It's not a statement on how important the news is.

Can someone throw some light on a situation? I live in London and have been trying to buy tickets via phone for Colchester Away since Monday.

After 2 days of the phone not being answered (and also being diverted to a mobile numbers voice mail this morning).
Someone answered the ticket office number to say the phone network is down since the weekend due to a lightning strike! and that someone would give me a call back (nothing yet).

Does anyone know the story or whether this is legitimate, or is it the redundancies that EM made, now effecting the efficency of paying customers wishing to purchase tickets & supporting the club?

Just seems something isn't right here........

We did have a big thunder clap on Friday evening but I am not sure what if any effect it had in the area I live approximately a mile away from the ground but I have not heard anything official to support what you been told about the lightning strike!

There was indeed a weather event on Saturday evening with some lightning and a fair amount of hail.
They were having problems with the checkouts in Boscombe Sainsburys the next morning so I don't think there is anything ominous here.

Thank's guys however, 3 days + for business lines to be out of action is a bit different to Sainbury's having check out problems on a Monday morning.

Anyone else having problems with buying away tickets via the phone line?

No worries Nonno. I was in Winchester and the storm cell tracked up to there after leaving the Bournemouth By all accounts the activity in the Bournemouth was quite impressive for the time of year!!

Kinsonite, what I meant to say was the checkout system, including payment and telephone lines to the bank etc was affected by the lightning, as I was warned by the girl on the desk that they were experiencing problems.
Even so, you would have thought that any such problems would have been sorted out by now.
Personally I would have done the standard IT fix and switched the equipment off and then on again!!!!!

I am in Kenya and the long rains have started, but that is great we can start planting the Maize. just hope it doesnt affect the internet too much, so that we cant hear player and see the match, by the way i think Colchester will be a hard game to win.

I watched Yeovil v the gyppos last night and thought they both looked absolute pants...Not a save for either keeper for over an hour and both sides couldnt string 3 passes together...A full strength bmouth side will have either of them chasing shadows at this stage of the season...I thought that last night was not even a decent reflection of League 2 let alone League 1...Gary Johnson got what his tactics deserved ! Absolutely nothing.Negative and played right into the gyppos hands.

You what? They were dire, just slightly less dire than Yeovil. Neither side managed to put half a dozen passes together the whole night. I also thought they took a pitiful number to a 6 pointer of a game that's not far off a local derby - TV or no TV it was a massive game.

Best wishes to CS .
Looking at Saturday , Bury's skipper has said they need to go on a " crazy " run to stay up . I wish them well AFTER the game with us . It's our job to make sure no " crazy " events take place at Dean Court !

Unless both clubs could lose the match (and I've not known that happen yet), then I'm not sure what reason there is for sour grapes, when whatever the result AFCB would be affected. Our rivals taking points off one another - all part of the run-in fun.

Thanks, kind words. In truth the pitch did no favours to playing good football. Neither team looked that good and I dont think any team from league one could have done a better job than Swindon last night. First half was poor, but second was all Swindon. Keeps the top of the table interesting.

A draw would have left us in 6th, as it happens we are now 5th, so guess not.. Looks like there could be more Wembley tears for you lot. Hmmm

Yes. MacDonald.
Of course forgot Macdonald who was very influential before his injury and gave us some height in midfield which we lack with the mighty midgets Arter and OKane And dont forget Fraser who might be able to unlock some defences. Thats 19 in total even after Eddie has got rid of a few. What strength in depth we have for the run in. Looking forward to Saturday with the Sheff United v Brentford game on before us presumably on TV in the Cherries bar hopefully

Lot can happen - be patient - and stop making your self look a bit silly on the Adver site - you got suckered in good and proper there .... its always best to leave when you are winning, I think you stayed too long and suffered the consequences .. oh dear ... come on now Matron will be round with your tablets soon ... quick or it's no blue rinse for you tomorrow if she catches out of bed ....
