Re: The Bottom Ten, Saturday Mar 16th 2024

Rushall will feel it's s*** or bust time next Saturday because I think they will struggle to get anything out of the three games after that against Alfreton, Boston and then Blyth. Keeping them at arm's length with a point would be OK for us but they will feel they have to win it, nothing less. Set...

Re: Mitch Hancox

Sounds like it. If we want to manage risk it feels like we need another striker through the door. What about what's-his-name? If he's not fit now he never will be. :? Even if he’s fit I cannot see the point in playing him as he will be miles short of match fitness with only 7 games to go.Such a sic...

Re: Blyth V Darlington

I thought Rivers was outstanding when he came on last night, full of energy, pressed the ball, hassled defenders and made the them sit deeper. Excellent on the ball too. Great substitution as he is a very tidy player and rarely gives the ball away which is what we were doing in the first half. Sent...

Re: Blyth V Darlington

King's Lynn v Rushall and Southport v Blyth this Saturday, plus Farsley and Banbury have very tough away games.If we can get a win it could be massive.

Re: Blyth V Darlington

I know Nelson hasn't scored very many this season but he's a far superior player to Curry and we look a lot more threatening with Nelson in the team. Cornish is doing very well again tonight but Salkeld has vanished after a good first 10 minutes. Absolutely agree Ghost, Nelson for me every time. Se...

Re: Blyth V Darlington

Blyth playing good football but Matty Young is levels above this league and so assured. I'm not knocking Tommy Taylor who has been a good servant to this club but I do think Young has gained us extra points in his loan spell from making saves that TT might not have got to? Great distribution as wel...

Re: Blyth V Darlington

No news on injuries from what I can see , in particular whether Nella has a hamstring injury or not.Will be a blow if he is out and also we need to be much tighter at the back as we were all over the place against Spenny in particular that 2nd goal.Wouldn’t mind Lawlor coming back alongside Lees and...

Re: Spennymoor V Darlington

Nelson injured, Cornish clearly not 100% and Main looked like he was struggling early on, kept feeling his leg and I wasn't sure he'd make the rest of the game. We could really do with some reinforcements and sharpish. Totally agree, really cannot understand why we are not signing anyone when other...

Re: Spennymoor V Darlington

Losing 2-1, but we'll come good..... It sounds like it could go either way. I'll not be too disheartened if we lose (as long as we don't get hammered), because Spendy are in great form. We'd still be 5 from 7 with 3 winnable matches coming up, and at least we're creating plenty of chances. I'll mor...

Re: Spennymoor V Darlington

This will be my first time since Fencegate. I’m hoping that with the ticket situation and better organisation from S’moor, it makes it a safer and better experience than what happened back then. I’m also hoping that the over-pumped attitude of some of their players will have cooled off. Don't think...

Re: Moke gone

I thought that. Unless I am mistaken there wasn't a single Gowling player who featured against Curzon Ashton? It was Armstrong + Watson. Proof enough to have him as one of the worst managers we have ever had.Cannot ever see him managing a club above NPL level, but if he manages to talk his way into...

We never seem to win these 6 pointers, absolutely nothing less than a win today but these lads have much more about them than a couple of months ago.We win and the bottom 8 is wide open.

Need a 2nd goal as they are quite dangerous down our left, pity Curry didn't score early on and Liddle could have made it 2 right on HT.

A deal was agreed for Donowa but the player decided to go elsewhere. They are trying to get players in but it seems we aren’t an attractive option for most now.
