Re: Do it tonight Johnson

35 years watching Darlo and that yesterday was easily the very worst. No fight, no passion, no creativity. Our last home game Griffiths was fantastic, all of a sudden dropped. No options on the bench. Asante look dis-interested, Salkeld I have no idea what he is supposed to be but he genuinely look...

Re: GOWLING OUT

Issue I’m having with Gowling is in his first programme notes he has said he wanted to access the squad and then bring in the right players to strengthen. Since then he’s brought in a load of questionable loanees and left out half the first team so what’s the actual plan? Personally feel there’s a l...

Re: The worst and best manager performances after 10 games?

I think Todd first 10 was 8 defeats and 2 draws. That’s league only. Managed draws against Cheltenham and Grimsby.

Staunton was 8 defeats, 2 wins. Beat Shrewsbury &Burton.

Re: Alfreton v Darlington 04.03.23

Another disappointing game. 2 nil up and we were playing like it could have been 4-5 but we've lost our composure and thrown it away. We seem to be inviting teams to have a go at us, and inevitably the pressure becomes too much. Whenever we won the ball back, we only had two options - lump it up to ...

Was meant to be signing for us when Simon Davey joined us briefly...until he promptly resigned by email at the end of season 09/10 whilst on holiday.
Then re-appeared magically with Davey at Hereford the next season!!

Using my above criteria, Flapper Newell was one of the worst keepers i saw that earned a contract but then he was partial to a few saves too.
I always thought Newell was pretty decent considering he was in goal for our first Wembley trip!

He may have told the club he's gone as far as he can with the limitations BM holds regarding corporate sponsorship and is unable to take things to the next level.

I remember celebrating what we thought was a fantastic comeback. 1998 v Sheff Utd at Feethams in the cup second leg. Should have gone through on the away goals rule when Devos scored in 84th min.

Burn has not impressed in the slightest, still remember his efforts against Hartlepool and for someone who was supposed to be brought in with high expectations has serious fallen short. Depending on what wage Maddison is on - he might be worth keeping as a back up. I would imagine Ainge to be on hig...

Re: Hereford v Darlington Match Thread

If being relegated means Wright leaves with some of the Midlands lads, and we end up signing a few more local players who play with their hearts on their sleeves then i'd take it. Give me a choice of Evo Stik football like Whitby away then i'd gladly take it over the current crap.

Re: Hartlepool match confirmed at BM

Burn spent most of the first half stood talking to the fans down near the turnstiles. I would have thought his time would have been better spent watching the game and how the players on both sides were doing, and perhaps listening to TW and AW's thoughts. If he wanted to have a chat and kick a ball ...

Re: Darlington V Alfreton Match Thread

It looked to me that Styche was moved out wide because we could hit him as a target man, and have him bring the ball back inside, as opposed to him being out fought by their two centre backs in the middle who were pretty big guys. I don't think us being thin on the ground can be fully blamed on TW. ...
