Re: Darlington v Buxton

Where’s Windass, ? Anyone. Not that he’s a big miss, just someone else on the wage bill I suppose. Gone I think He trained last week , not sure if things have changed now Squad looks really thin at the minute with the amount of injuries , I’m really surprised we haven’t got anyone in on loan as yet

Re: Darlington v Buxton

Another really insightful update! Again no mention of new signings or clarification on injuries - I find it staggering that these questions aren’t asked. SW appears the type of straight talking manager who would say it exactly as it is so surely just ask ? Or do we really think that keeping this inf...

Re: Boston v Darlington 20/02/24

I see Siddik went off with a hamstring injury tonight. It appears he missed 9 months in 22/23 with a serious hamstring injury whilst at Crystal Palace. Another player who cannot stay fit. Thank you, Josh Gowling. This season has been one big - totally unavoidable - nightmare. And apparently Sukar i...

Siddick in for Lawlor if Lawlor is out and maybe Barrow in for Hedley - the rest id keep the same unless we can somehow add a winger or two before Saturday

Re: Scott Barrow - new signing

Great signing, highly regarded at Gateshead and York before his recent injuries.

Can he bring Cedric Main with him too - must have played at Blyth under Terry Mitche...

There's zero evidence to suggest that Martin Gray has the skillset required in our current situation.

Re: Gloucester (A)

On a separate note, I’ll never understand the meltdown when Sukar gets dropped. Lawlor is better, no matter what people want to say, so it’s a no brainer he comes in. It was a no brainer to play Burton when we had him too. Probably since people were praising Gowlings handling of Sukar and how the p...

Re: Darlington V Rushall

We have taken 8 points from 6 games - an average of 1.333 points per game

If we can keep this up over the next 26 games that would give us 50 points - would that keep us up ?

We can’t afford to be throwing points away like we have this week though
