Darlo Uncovered

Can someone please tell me why we did not play a straight 4, 3, 3 ? Every time we have changed this formation we have been overran ie first seven or 8 games of the season. Back to old ways today and by all accounts we were overrun. We just cannot play any other formation effectively. Not sure Alun ...

At least we sold out prior to this! Won the second half. Just curious-how did Lambert do and what was different after half time? I always thought we'd struggle today after last week's monumental effort and looking ahead to being available for Wednesday. Onwards and upwards. Fans Radio suggested he ...

There's no getting away from the fact that our forward options are severely curtailed now. Yep, we may have to struggle on until January but AA is certainly looking around and has been even when we had O'Neill, it just is a bit more required currently. The next 2 months set's up the rest of the sea...

Disappointing but brings us all back to reality. It sounded like we didn't play that bad but were all over the place at the back, looked like decision to go to a back 5 didn't work at all today. We move on, this result just shows us that as a squad we can't cope with 3 players injured, 2 internation...

Yeh never know could be that we asked and the rugby club were happy with a switch to accommodate. They weren't previous years but yep agree they could have this time. I kind of get it from their point of view really, if they can then why wouldn't they want to play on their main pitch especially if ...

I thought cards were competition specific now, meaning Hedley would miss the replay owing to being sent off in the original tie?

Yellow cards yes, red cards no.

The FA keeping it simple to follow

According to Gainsborough Trinity fan game isn't being moved and will be Saturday 23rd.

Presume the Rugby Club couldn't move us to Sunday, we couldn't play Friday so the only option was that they play on the back pitch.

So it's not all ticket but it might be all ticket? Where did you get that 500 tickets left from?

Yes for the first question and the online numebr available on the second question, however not all tickets were made available online so it's not a case of less than 500 left currently.

Yep re-read the rules and Hedley is banned v Brackley and therefore available v's Walsall on the Wednesday.

Also some were worried about Hatfield as he has at least 5 yellows (league and cup), but he needs 4 in the FA Cup to face a ban in the FA Cup, so is also fine.

Although you have got me thinking and currently trying to check this out

Hedley can play v's Walsall but not v's Brackley.

Red cards are across both league and FA Cup whilst yellow cards collation aren't. So Hedley's ban is Saturday.

We are sending them tickets for standing and seats, whilst not planning on giving them the whole open end. However it's going to be segregated, leave that one to the club to figure out I guess.

Nicely put super-les, however at the risk of repeating myself, this good run of form has been achieved without the input of dirty money. We were led to believe this wasn't possible. It just shows what a good manager can do. :clap: :clap: No, we were told that NLN was our level if we didn't get an i...

Jjljks Please let the Martin Grey obsession go . Enjoy things now for what they are without harking back to the past. Grey did a great job at the time steering us to 3 promotions and we should all remember that instead of sniping at him.Of course he let himself down with the manner of his leaving b...

I am very happy for the TV to look at Darlo v Oxford and say no it's not worth it.

Main reason is that this means we have actually managed to get through to the 2nd round of the FA Cup, which I don't expect us to and will just enjoy the night v Walsall for what it is.

Upgrade in TV money for initial picks to £75k but replays for this round didn’t change from £33,750 by all accounts. That’s from this years FA handbook to clubs. That certainly is annoying. Haven't the TV companies heard of the rising cost of everything due to Brexit. :D Haha, just the way it is I ...

If it sells well though the club will make it all ticket, that is the current stance.

So if you want to go, get your ticket confirmed.

Hospitality is already sold out I believe.

Might be slightly better if unsegregated as hardly any Walsall fans will be coming anyhow, they barely could be bothered to turn up at home on a Saturday - never mind accept the open end segregation on a cold Wednesday night up North. Will be segregated according to official site. Yep just read tha...

Seems a decent enough draw to me. If and it's a big if we get past Walsall, it will be a nice game to look forward to. We have already achieved more than I even expected, so just happy to let the lads do for a free hit on BT Sport and see what happens. It's created a fantastic buzz about the club an...

Do we not have to have primacy of tenure? I thought this was one of the issues preventing a return to the Arena?

Not for the Trophy, hence why Telford was moved and Harrogate Town previously and Marine when at Bishop Auckland.

Rugby Club at home v Hartlepool.

We are also likely to play Walsall on Wednesday so a Friday should be out of the question really.

Finally a decent draw

They are on a good run at the moment and beat Tamworth 5-3 I believe in the last round.

Managed by Curtis Woodhouse, rumours suggest he applied for our job in the summer.

Also game likely to be a Friday or Sunday, probably Sunday if agreed as the Friday is after our FA Cup Replay.

As above

I can't find about the fa trophy draw anywhere but it seems previous rounds have been from Wembley on talksport 2 at 2 pm. The joys of being retired!

Seems it will be announced at 1pm. So probably not on the radio.

Seems that FIFA rules were updated in 2016 to basically mandate turning up.

Can't see how we can force them, we could ask if they could be released but it's a big game v Mexico for them.

Not looking good really.

FA Cup draw on BBC2 at 7pm. FA Trophy draw around lunchtime, not sure if 12pm or 1pm. Also if the same as last year then any replays on TV will be announced tomorrow also. Two examples I can find is that BT Sport show 2 replays so Tue 19th & Wed 20th but BBC don't seem too bothered to disrupt their ...
