Darlo Uncovered

I think what I find frustrating in some of the new stadium discussion is over suitability to play in the football league. It’s pie in the sky when we don’t even look to be in much danger of escaping the national league north (upwards), let alone the level above it! If you're going to build a brand ...

Next Saturday will be a good opportunity to give Asante a good 'run out', sorry I mean a good 'wander round the middle of the pitch' out I guess it would be dependent on whether he was contracted for next season or not. If his contract is up then there's literally no point. If his contract is for n...

That for me has been transformed by new additions, Main in particular. Would SW been able to do the same with Felix & Hazel? I personally don’t believe so. You don't believe that SW would have been able to do anything with Hazel, who scored 20 goals a season every season, and 21 goals in his first ...

Not me. Main is a better player in nearly every way IMO. His work rate, his thinking, the way he is determined to bundle his way through a defensive block, his team work ethic. Perhaps Hazel was better a placing a shot? But I can't remember. Don't get me wrong, I think Main has been amazing for us....

Looking to next season not sure length of contracts etc Release, Asante, Curry,Windass,Sukar, Siddick,Lindley, Kelly Possible squad player or covered by loanee: Taylor, Nelson, liddle, Ngandu, Harker Try to retain: Young, Barrow, Cornish, Routledge Agree with most of that except I'd release Ngandu ...

I was just pointing out that we've played worse teams than Farsley at BM.

And sadly (due to Clowning's incompetence) we blobbed them all. I'm not air brushing history for you Old Git. Especially because it gets on your tits.

We’ve had a few 3-1 wins under Watson. I haven’t done my research, but I’d guess that was the most regular scoreline since he took over. Off the top of my head I can think of 4...plus two 4-0s. It's not just the fact that we've won so many since the dead and buried point (Alfreton home), it's the m...

Fair enough. Disagree though, they’re absolute cack and I’m not arrogant in saying that. No I agree they were probably the worst team to visit BM this season. I just don’t dare take anything for granted where Darlington FC are concerned. There's been a fair few teams just as bad if not worse this s...

With the exception of a few, these players were never poor, or any of the other derogatory remarks they were called mid-season. They were badly let down during the season by terrible management & recruitment. To be honest with you, when you were saying this isn't a bad squad of players in mid seaso...

To be honest, although I was disappointed that Farsley got one back I wasn't too nervous. When they announced 6 minutes additional time and everyone gasped "how is it 6 minutes?" I simply said "6 extra minutes for us to get a 3rd", which we duly and predictably did, after scoring loads of late goals...

I guess most people on here would prefer Blyth to stay up. But personally I think Farsley would be far less of a threat next season and I think Blyth could offer a lot more competition for players in this region, especially if they get this new investor on board. Read the room Pete. I honestly don'...

It's actually P 21 W 12 L 9. You're doing him over there like. What makes it all the more unbelievable is his first 7 matches was W 2 L 5, and one or two numpties were questioning what had actually improved (the football was already miles better despite the results) Since then we've won 10 of our la...

and Rutledge is still quite young and raw and could develop into a very useful striker at our current level.

He already is a very useful striker at our current level.

I think Gateshead may want another look at him next season though.

https://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/national-league-north/league-table/date/20240101 We were 8 adrift on New Year's Day Mikky, is Football Web pages a site where you can load up historic league tables by date? Well yeah, just go on the page that Mikky linked and play around with the seasons and dates.

Ground can fit in 3100 it won’t be anywhere near that reckon 2450 but an excellent 50/50 also reckon kick off delayed.

It's 3,300 and that was when we only had half the seats.

That's it, Farsley lose.

Beat them on Saturday and we are guaranteed safety, it's now that simple. No doubt the match won't be as simple, but it's in our hands now.

Yeah Banbury, Blyth and Farsley have fallen apart over the last 2-3 months. Happens every year in every league.

https://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/national-league-north/league-table/date/20240210 10th February - 9 points adrift of 20th, 16 points behind Farsley and 17 points behind Blyth... That was the low for me...anti-footballed to death by Alfreton and it was at this point exactly that I threw the towel i...

Without looking to check (if there is anywhere to check) I think it was about 5 points but at some point it was up to 8 or even 10 points because we did only win 2 of their first 7!

Yes, we really set out expecting Blyth to outplay us.

Cringeworthy, looking back, at how fraudulent a manager Howling really was.

I don't think anyone has ever gone down with 55 points at this level or any of the 46 match playing levels above - though I stand to be corrected.

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...

I take nothing for granted. Not long ago some on here were asserting that 50 points would guarantee safety. Well look where we are now with 52 points and not yet safe. I don't recall a single person asserting that 50 points would guarantee safety? Although 50 is normally considered the magic number...

Looking at Tuesday's fixtures all we need is for Farsley to fail to beat Peterborough and the other two results wouldn't even matter to us. Because we play Farsley next, if they don't win on Tuesday, then us doing the business on them (not a foregone conclusion I know) would guarantee us mathematica...

‘Almost certainly’ I’m missing something here. You're almost certainly missing the fact that we're almost certainly staying up. Good lord man, it’s Darlo. Have you gone mad? Is this based on an assumption Blyth will lose twice? (Agree it’s toughest for them but it is not a done deal!) I’ll rest whe...

We have to keep winning our own games to make sure we're safe, to many scenarios to guess. Just win and it doesn't matter what others do. The team are working for eachother to secure our NLN PLACE. . I've been saying for about the last 10 matches that all we need to do is keep winning and forget th...

Wish Rushall would just F off. Ridiculous the run we have put together and it’s still all to play for. Win next week and I hope we can breathe easier. Would’ve preferred Blyth or Farsley stop up. Obviously not at our expense, worried about that first and foremost. You hope we can breathe easier? Co...
