Darlo Uncovered

Liddle did not look good, took a knock tried to play on but had to be subbed.
Excellent performance everyone put some real effort into that result

O’Neill and penalty from Campbell

Well we are 2 up at ht and playing some good football

Tough game ahead, last result, holidays and injuries will add some uncertainty, however we still have a good squad capable of getting something from the game. Weather will be ok tomorrow so hopefully we can get a decent crowd in and get the same support the team had against Kettering. Southport are ...

Wasn't it always stated that a 4G pitch is the big money-spinner, which is what Mowden Park intend to lay at the Arena to boost their coffers.

“intend to lay” I thought they already play on a 4g pitch, might be wrong though.

He’s on holiday AA mentioned it before the season started.

Can’t understand the love of Bishop Auckland so much beyond the on pitch success we had there... - The amount of seating was less. - There was less space around the pitch so more impeded views - The covered terrace was no better than what we have now and was smaller. - the bar area was considerably...

Same line up from Saturday apart from Heaton replaces Galbraith

Thompson will miss the Southport game be interesting to see how we line up for that one.

Great to see Wheatley on the bench , obviously not called on to play but it shows his fitness/recovery is getting there.

As mentioned on another thread the grass was to long and the lines were not clear enough, it looked to me as if it had just been left from Wednesday night.

Yep O’Neill is improving every game, he has quick feet for a tall lad, holds the ball up well.

What a game we played some very good football, cracking free kick from Thompson , just over 1300 there, those who turned up Wednesday but not today missed a good game.

So what do we know about Kettering Town? Got promoted last season so should have a solid squad.
With this wind hoof ball is definitely out

Oh yea it’s the first time I’ve seen the away fans arrive in in a big double decker bus

Not sure what to make of that, we just couldn’t get any sort of momentum going. Passes going astray to slow to move the ball, didn’t have the best view of their goal looked like the keeper just watched it go in, unless it took a deflection. Laing needs to up his game or Heaton needs to start. Could ...

Hopefully we can get a fair few through the gates, not sure how many Gateshead will bring would expect at least 150.

Looks like it’s only Heaton we are waiting for confirmation/clearance to play now.

...............Elliot Trotman Laing Galbraith Liddle .......Holness Hatfield ....Rivers Thompson Holmes .............Campbell Subs: Hall, Heaton, Bascombe, Donawa, O'Neil Personal opinion - don't rush Atkinson back. We have the depth not to need to, and Omar is more than good enough to help boss th...

This time tomorrow the team will be warming up, hopefully a great turn out to cheer them along

Ah ok I see what you mean , cheers.

Have I missed something, if are just a walk in it’s £30, if you are a season ticket holder it’s £25, what’s wrong with that?

BM or Sporting Village, that’s the big question, obviously when we need to make that massive decision which will decide our long term future, every pro/con will have to be put under the microscope.
When the details about both options are known it will take some serious head scratching.

Starting 11 , formation and subs for our first home game, assume everyone is fit and Heaton has signed, who wants to go first ?

Mine is simply to stop conceding so many goals, last season we let in 62 I want that figure to be 40 or less, we have just got to be hard to beat, that’s it. Of course if we can achieve that figure by playing some nice football and scoring a few, that’s the bonus. But achieve that goal conceded figu...

Got to mention the pitch, I was really concerned at the state of the pitch for the Motherwell game. The amount of rain that fell during the night and this morning I convinced myself it would be called off. Well the pitch looked excellent greened up lovely no standing water ball was fizzing about bea...

I thought Holness didn’t have the best of games, having thought about it he was one my standout players last season, but in a poor team, he needs to up his game in this much more committed/talented side.
Tyrell, not convinced.

Attendance was 357

For those who couldn’t attend you missed our best preseason performance

Not many there today my guess would be 250

Great to see Josh Heaton again,
A back four of,
Trotman Laing Heaton Galbraith would not be to shabby.
