Re: Rushall v Darlington

He did alright Pete, wasn't on that long and by then the team were a bit rushed and not playing to what I assume his strengths are with his height, saying that after he came on we did have a couple of chances.

Re: Darlington V Chorley

We will have to agree to disagree, the odd times I have seen Hedley in midfield thought he played well, (and he was signed as a midfielder originally), I attend most games including friendlies, so you must have attended the games I have missed to have your judgement on Hedley. Siddick is left footed...

Re: Darlington V Chorley

While it is one bad result. The last 3 games have not been to the standard we had at the spenny game and before, given that it may be confidence and against a bit of a boggy team I thought we may need something different, as thought we would need to pressure higher up the field so yes I would, but i...

Re: Rushall v Darlington

In a way the same as us re loans, but ours from National league, not league teams, although we would definitely be worse without Barrow and Young, they have been quality. Just watched the goals, from where i was stood it was difficult to see how difficult they were to save, but I think Young would h...

Re: Rushall v Darlington

I was talking to one of their fans near the end of the game, and he said 5 of the players on loan from Walsall, Birmingham, Derby etc and he said that without them the team would be poor.

Re: Darlington V Chorley

I think I would try something different against Chorley, we know they are a good team and one we don't traditionally do well with. Young Griffiths - Lees - Lawler / Siddick (if fit) - Barrow Headley - Hatfield - Platt Cornish Main - Rutlidge Rationale for me is that Headley has looked good going for...

Re: Rushall v Darlington

Poor result and game, started brightly to be honest, but they were quicker all over the park, we passed sloppily and tackled half heartedly after the initial 15 mins. We looked like a Gowling team in the second half, all over the place and never looked like scoring where they looked dangerous and mi...

Re: Darlington v Buxton

Keeper may be young, but he is good, confident and controls his area, no worries from me on him. If plat is free he should play centre half as we have players who can fit into midfield, in fact in pre season Headley looked excellent in midfield when he played there.

I was one of the lucky ones that were able to get into the stand for the second half, my opinion was at the time, as it was just below me, that it wasn't a red, but definitely a yellow as it was a reckless challenge and pointless one. Thought we could have also had a couple of penalties to be honest...

Not sure we have a balanced view on the loss of revenue to be honest, while clearly there will be hit from the league funding, and loss of 2 games as mentioned. The sponsorship etc may take a hit, but if we have a successful year may be not? Away following, there are only a few games where we get no...

If we'd stuck the £30,000 on it to win how much would we have got?
£105,000
I got 3/1 early last night so £90k for bet plus the £30k stake = £120k, so depending on time of bet.

And the horse romped home, may be our team can now follow that example :D
