A fantastic achievement that we have stayed up, considering the absolutely dire position we were left in after Gowling was sacked. Well done to Watson and Mitchell and the players for stepping in and stepping up and producing a magnificent run of results and retaining our National League North place...

There is a slim chance but more often than not once the loan reports come back it's likely that Sunderland will try to loan him higher up the pyramid to progress his development. He has the potential to follow the same route as Pickford and all being well he has a great career going forward. :thumbup:

So many scenarios even with 2 games to play and 52pts still isn't safety. However, it's now a case of one more win and I think it'll be it and unfortunately at this point I think it will be Blyth to drop. Although Scunthorpe can't win the title they will want to win next week to guarantee advantage ...

Think the change in goal has got to be some sort of reason.

Andy Lonergan, not here for long but had a extensive career.

Andy Oakes was a decent goalkeeper before losing his place to David Stockdale.

To be fair 97 is correct. The appointment of JG was questioned right back when the decision to employ him was made. I was another not totally sure it would work out and when weighing up the credentials it smacked of a desperate punt on something different (JG) rather than the tried and tested (SW). ...

What is equally noticeable is the slide of Blyth and Farsley in the same time.

The ideal scenario for the next two matches is for us to beat Peterborough Sports and ideally Kings Lynn to beat Rushall on Saturday. Follow that up by beating Rushall and I'd say we'll be practically there, obviously not mathematically but we'd have a reasonable cushion with wriggle room to find an...

IF we do stay up, would this beat Hodgy's season 03/04 in terms of where we were league-wise? Steve Watson has done wonders just to get us within touching distance of safety and makes you wonder what prevented us from employing him after AA because if we could of we may have even made the playoffs o...

Blyth, Rushall, Farsley and Southport matches are the definitive six-pointers. However, after the performances and results of the last 4 games prior to yesterday, I'd not rule out picking up points at home to Peterborough Sports and even Chorley. Warrington away will be difficult and ideally we don'...

The real deal is having a manager who is just down to knowing the basics required to win games. Not over complicating things and a million miles from what JG was attempting to do. We are right on the coattails now of those above and if and when we are above the dotted line I can see us staying there...

Ideally we have to follow this up with points at Curzon, we just need to keep in touch with the others above even if they have games in hand scoreboard pressure can count. SW is getting far more out of the team than at any point during the season and if only he'd been given the job as Armstrong's su...

You are right of course and that’s what we don’t have to worry about right now or the risk the other model brings. Fine balancing act I agree. The last 14mths though has seen decline on the pitch to the point of relegation together with little to no progress it seems on any new ground with the pote...

I wouldn't say tonight is a win or bust fixture, it's probably one which at best we could hope for is a draw. The pressure matches are the games against Southport, Peterborough Sports, Banbury at home and Rushall away etc, then it's a case of filling in the other points required from fixtures such a...

Looking at the remaining fixtures it's plausible that we could still reach 50 pts, will that be enough?

Only 4 games on today in NLN, but the 3 other teams in the relegation zone, Bishop Stortford, Gloucester and Kings Lynn are all in action. Could do with them all losing. Which they nearly did! Only a 90+1 min equalizer by King's Lynn spoiled the day. Now we need to make the most of our games in han...

Bottom line is if you can't rouse the players to perform against the bottom club then when are they going to. JG's post match reaction really sums up where we are... muddled and lost. His appointment really has compounded this very poor season so far and no signs of this being reversed either. :thum...

Whatever the merits or otherwise of the JG / DR (et al) as a management team I don't think that I have never seen any new/relatively new manager / coaching team at DFC get quite such a raw deal from any group of supporters from pretty much day 1 as this one :clap: Its as if, for all their contacts/...

The fact we have signed an undercooked striker, yes with some kind of ability, and seems like everyone is pinning hopes on him. Isn't it more of a worry that we don't have the personnel to create the chances consistently? Yes, possibly an upgrade on Hazel but no guarantees he will bail us out on his...

You're mistaken if you think people who are questioning things aren't behind the club and players. If this is aimed at me LL then did I say that? I know good ppl are behind the club & players but I also know some have had an agenda since the minute we appointed JG, I hope we can get out of this rel...

The basic statement requires an answer!!!! Who do we appoint now that makes us better ?? I’ll wait…. The problem is that I don't know what is the best move now and I'd say we are probably stuck with JG. Hindsight is a wonderful thing but if the shortlist at the time was numerous and strong (as led ...

At the end of the day Gowlings signings have been just awful,barring a couple. I cannot see us surviving if he remains in charge and if the board stick with him next season really think the BTB will be a disaster. Sent from my SM-A145R using Tapatalk And AA’s were great and he spent the 160k well??...

Biggest worry in the time JG has been here is the apparent lack of a plan. Yes, he inherited a squad devoid of confidence and a degree of ability but his approach really has been haphazard. When he first came in he was of the opinion that he could work with who was here, yet has barely given the ori...

My concern is the manner of defeat. As others have mentioned it seems JG made more baffling tactical decisions last night. Not changing things to even try and shut up shop, instead shipping 8 goals severely impacting goal difference and probably undoing any of the positives from the wins recently. E...

Does the next manager get 6 games if we don't improve under him immediately? We becoming a club ran by the lynch mob? Fucking exactly. Lately, this forum has become joke. What a great fanbase we have. 97 pontificating like some wise old sage because he’s subscribed to a monthly football stats packa...

Yep, the parallels are there. The main worry is that JG is not a proven manager and similarly so was Staunton when he was appointed. I think in the situation we are in the club has scraped the barrel and gone for what has been the best of those who applied - a punt on a young manager wanting to make...

Pretty much readying ourselves for the division below. One step back, two steps forward?

Just going to have to rebuild from the NPL, no sign that JG has got any significant change in performances, so these players are not NLN standard. The club has become stagnant at this level. Here comes the clown again everyone Sam, it is the reality atm and I don't really know what beef you have wi...
