Re: Ground share

I really can't get my head around the hysteria about the Arena in this context. I'd always be firmly against a long term or permanent return to the Arena because its simply awful watching football in a 25'000 capacity stadium with 1500 people inside. But all the faffing on about "what it represents"...

Re: Attacking options

I imagine the starting combo is going to be Campbell and Maguire up front together with Donawa left wing and Rivers right wing. Holmes and Charman will be frequently used subs to start with and will probably need to fight their way into the team but I don't see any of them being disillusioned with a...

Re: Maguire & Langstaff Released

What a great signing! If we got Maguire last season, not sure we'd have got Campbell as well. This way we've got both of them! Our team is looking very tasty for next season!

Re: Retention for next year

Agree with most. Would let Laing go and hang on to Trotman if we can, but if he gets an offer from higher up or ends up being a side celebrity after Love Island so wants to be closer to home we can make our peace with that. Tez and Thommo are legends but I'd be pulling them in and seeing how they'd...

Re: Darlington V Alfreton

Liddle will be a big miss for that long, a loan will probably be looked at longer term, but I'd expect Watson to slot in on Saturday or us to go 3 at the back if Alun is uneasy with playing 2 unnatural full backs.

Re: Elliot and Connel

I think the competition has really helped Elliott. You definitely need competition for places to get the best out of your players. Sounded like he was playing through injury at the start of the season but all of a sudden the obvious concerns about him being a bit on the small side for a keeper have ...

Fantastic return of points over the festive period and in a league position that we could not have imagined. Still have no idea though what go,s wrong at half time.

Re: Darlington V Gloucester

Liddle really didn't look himself at Spennymoor. One of the players of the season for us so far but maybe we'd benefit giving Watson a run at left back and give Lids a chance to recover from any niggles he's carrying if that's the case. Maybe he just had a bit of an off day and was up against a real...

We were no more lucky than they were not to be 5-0 down at half time! They're an excellent side and will probably go up, they were always going to come on strong and have a few chances. Aside from the header off the bar and a great save by Elliott to deny a deflected shot, I think they huffed and pu...

After seeing the highlights we have nowt to whinge about. The ball had come to a stop before the lad took the free kick and the goal scorer was definitely onside and ran in behind while Storey and Laing were stood with their mouths open catching flies.

Re: Darlington V Telford

The nature for those goals were absolutely indefensible, every one of them. And every time there's a game where we concede those infuriating goals where the centre of defense disappears and the striker ends up with an eternity to pick his spot one on one, there seems to be a common theme.
