Re: Darlington V Chorley

Hindsight? Surely he should've gone left if he was using the 'diagonal system' as his AR would've picked anything up on the right hand side?

So you agree it was awful refereeing full stop?

Re: 2022/23 FINANCIAL RESULTS

What surprised me most was the staffing costs of £185k, on top of the £400k playing budget... would be interesting to see the breakdown of that.

Someone who doesn't get a mention on here... we might not be paying him much as part of the loan deal but it soon will add up to being a disastrous signing!

Excellent interview with Scott Barrow

Mark Carruthers interviews Scott, well worth a listen

Re: Darlington v Banbury 2/03/24

Maybe because we don’t want to tell Banbury too No one expects SW to come out and say Scott Barrow will definitely be starting. Something along the lines of, "Barrow and Lawlor will have late fitness tests, Asante is back in full training but won't be considered for Saturday". If it's good enough f...

Re: The Squad Now

As an example, if your manager has instructed you to press very high against Chorley, when you are 3-0 down at half-time, away from home, then that is a recipe for absolute carnage. They can’t drop in to two low blocks, as that would be going against manager’s instruction. The 8-0 was 70% on Gowlin...
