Re: Darlington V Chorley

Rivers is fine to bring on for 20 minutes if you have a lead and you just need someone to keep the ball but his influence when starting games is minimal. You cant have been there on saturday then, Rivers was one of the few that had a good game and also played Main through for the first goal. :crazy...

Re: Darlington V Chorley

Now isn’t the time for radical changes to formation, we’ve found a system that is clearly capable of getting the 2-3 more wins required to keep our heads above water. For me, Salkeld starts ahead of Rivers. Rivers is fine to bring on for 20 minutes if you have a lead and you just need someone to kee...

Re: Rushall tickets

The ground under normal circumstances only holds 1,400 but the capacity will probably be a few hundred lower than that on Saturday aws they have demolished the stand behind one of the goals ready to put up a new seated stand to help meet ground grading requirements. The work is going on and that en...

Re: Darlington V Peterborough Sports

I certainly don’t think we’ll be looking to rotate/ rest players in the next few matches. We’re playing the same players every week, they’re in form, they are understand their roles and are continuing get results. No more Tuesday night games to go so we should be through the worst of it in terms of ...

Re: The Bottom Ten, Tuesday Mar 12th 2024

I think the clubs with the greater resources tend to prevail towards the end of the season when the fixtures pile up and therefore Kings Lynn, Southport and Darlington continue to pull away and Banbury & Rushall will drop.

Re: Blyth V Darlington

Delighted with the result and some aspects of the performance, we probably need something like 9/10 points from the last 7 games to make sure of survival. Fully believe we’ll do it and may actually get a lot more than that but it’s no time to get carried away. First half performance wasn’t great, pa...

Re: Matty Cornish

Been really impressed with this lad, chance creation has been a huge problem for us for a long time now but he’s playing a massive part in changing that. Wouldn’t expect a lad come from the relegation zone in the NPL to have a such a instant impact. We’ve very rarely brought players in from lower le...

Re: Curzon V Darlington

How many up until Hatfield's goal? 0 or 1 perhaps. There are 6 on the highlights. On target before Hatfield's goal? I don't think so. The point I am making is that the opposition keeper could barely stand up, but Darlo weren't testing him with strikes on target or corners underneath the crossbar an...

Re: Curzon V Darlington

Really positive performance last night, we’ve gone from a nine point gap to three in space of just 11 days. A pretty miraculous turnaround, must admit I thought we might be done for after the Alfreton game so very pleased to have been proved wrong. We’re just better in both boxes, that’s the differe...

Players are going out on loan but the ones we have tried to get have chosen other clubs in better positions. Even players who want to get themselves in the shop window are choosing other options.

Re: Darlington v Buxton

Huge relief. Despite the dominance of possession it did feel like we were going to let a poor Buxton side get away with a scrappy 1-0 victory with a silly own goal. You’ve got to give SW credit for the positive substitutions and Nelson even more credit for bouncing back in a really big way. Gap is n...

What a massive missed opportunity last night was. Very pleasing first half performance where we’ve actually created the chances to make our superiority count.

Every game feels like all or bust at the minute, Saturday gives us a glimmer of hope but if we do our usual Tuesday night horror show after a win then we’ll be right back to square one with fewer games to spare.

Re: Boston v Darlington 20/02/24

I’m slightly surprised to see Sukar’s loan at Scarborough being extended. Whilst he’s not the world beater some Darlo fans made him out to be, he is an option in a position we’re short on at the minute, particularly with Lawlor being injured.

To be fair, they have announced it before the FA have signed off the papers.
Now been deleted along with the tweet, a bit embarrassing on their side.

Armstrong went public last month making himself available for a managerial role again. That could well be a hint that the notice period had been served.
Where was this out of interest? Haven’t heard anything from him.
