3-0 now Take it on the chin. Was always going to be tough having had a tough game midweek. We weren't at our best by the sound of it, but despite the loss we're 7th which is testament to 8 game run before today which took us from mid table to being able to lose a game and still be in the playoff pl...

Don't see any reason why Trotman would want to leave at the end of the season.Even if he gets his degree, he can still forge a very successful career as a FT pro footballer and commit to another season with us and put himself in the shop window as others have.Far too talented to call it a day. Sent...

Elliott
Hedley
Laing
Storey
Watson

Does anyone know if Donowa is contracted, and if so what length? He's been getting better week by week, so I would hate to lose him for no fee.

Contracted till the end of the season, with a 1 year option from what I've heard.

Think we have some great assets within the squad in regards to players who could potentially get back into the full time game. Based on age and ability I think Donawa, Storey and Wheatley should certainly be on the radar of some clubs from higher divisions.

A real possibility if we get the 3 points we will be in a playoff position.No idea on AA's starting lineup with Reid,Atkinson, Tez, Wheatley and Martin available, strongest squad we have had this season. Big test against another big, direct side and have a feeling it will be Thommo's big day. Sent ...

Use the short term loan market to cover injuries to your no.1. That's what we did. Connell was a short term loan to cover Elliott's injury, but he did well and there was a clamour to make it long term. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk I agree we did. But, like you said we extended the loan, now ...

Like both keepers and credit to Elliott for turning it around after his injury. The No.1 Jersey is rightfully his atm. But my personal feeling will always be the same, two no.1 goalkeepers is a luxury we cant afford and isn't the best use of budget. Single No.1, with either a GK coach (like Bell wa...

What is the cost for a ground like that? Anyone Dont think they have disclosed an actual cost except to say that it will go into seven figures and they have been granted £250k by the FSIF to support the project. Not too dissimilar situation to us, in that, because they are rebuilding at their old M...

Have you done any back testing to bookies odds JE93? Great thread btw [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Cheers mate, hadn't really thought about matching to bookies odds tbh but using last two games, just because i can see what the 3 predicted results were. Results are below. for Spenny...

@JE93 I'm a bit of a nerdy statto, I would love to be to knock something like that last table together... I just use very basic excel formulas Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk Happy to share the excel book with you if you wanted to see the logic behind the probability formula. All the tables up...

Next Match Gone full Geek here so feel free to swtich off. From the results of the season so far I built a Poisson distribution which uses past results and scores to predict future results. (Before the intellectuals chime in on how the method ignores loads of extraneous variables ... I know, I know...

Away day blues https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49316413681_e94341e9a9_z.jpg Unfortunately, we have to play away too, where we're only 16th in the Away League Table. Which is where much of the story of this season lies. We've been beaten soundly away from home on too many occasions this season. ...

Well the new year always seems a good time to have a look at where we are and what can be achieved in the second half of the season. There is a limit to 3 URL's per post, so apologies this is over 3 to fit the relevant pictures in. League table: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49316413601_0bd4e4...

Fence was knackered after goal due to crowd surge as no crush barriers, mistake from Spenny originally not making it all ticket and then steward opening up that part. Mistakes all over off the pitch for Spenny today, shame they didn't make as many on it. fence already misshapen before any goals, du...

Don’t think we’ll need £6m initially, I reckon a third of that will build something that will be acceptable for National league with the scope to upgrade fairly easily from a logistics point of view for FL. Of course still plenty of issues raising that sum but it’s got to be a 5-10 year project. Mo...

An idea shamelessly stolen from Twitter – who makes up your Darlingotn team of the decade? I’ve judged mine on a mix of contribution to the team, impact and ability. Goalkeeper – Sam Russell – We’ve had a lot of good keepers but no one has really stood out so I’ve gone for Russell who, in terms of ...

Great result for us today. Thought we did both sides of the game well today. Strong performances from 1-11. Special mentions for Laing and Storey who barely gave the best centre forward in the league a sniff. Hatfield and Wheatley for dominating the midfield. Cambs for that special goal in the first...

The only assets we have down there are the stands which I guess we will have to maintain. Its up to the rugby club to ensure everything else is up to standard and in full working order. Plus the floodlights were in place long before we ever turned up. They may have been upgraded but they belong to ...

Like I said on Saturday, it depends on what’s written in the tenancy agreement. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk No tenants here. Only Licensees here, we have a license to play there on matchdays, that was key in their terminology to the agreement. No rights of exclusive use, so you would hope th...

I think the only way round this is either we as owners raise a bit of cash , (not sure of numbers let’s say £10000) or we get someone in from a lower league that we can afford. Or we wait till January when we get Gary Martin and reassess from there. I love our fans passion, and have no doubt we'd g...

It happens. It's incredibly frustrating and it still leaves us in the mire. Im sure when one of the deals comes off Armstrong will get the right man in. But it's not just us, I see Ben Jackson (on loan with us last season) has been recalled from his season long loan at Stockport by Huddersfield as t...

It's a shame because looking at the squad after O'Neill came in, in the summer it looks a good well balanced squad to me: GK: Elliott, Hall, Connell RB: Trotman, Atkinson , Holiday, Hedley LB: Liddle, Watson CB: Galbraith, Laing, Heaton , Atkinson , Waston, Storey CM: Hatfield, Wheatley, Holness, Ba...

We need a dominant CB. Laing isn't the type of player we need. I know we were after Buddle in the summer. More the kind of player we need, big 6'3+ lad who can get his head on things. Need someone with a loud voice too. Lead that back line a bit more too often were too quiet. A dominant CB alongside...

Really disappointing performance by the sound of it. Sounds like we're being bullied. 3 players away from being able to compete at the top end of this league. Completely support Armstrong and can see what he's trying to build, but god it's been frustrating since we lost O'Neill. Wouldn't mind seeing...

Tough game tonight, long way to go on a Tuesday night for a part time team. The stats don't scream of a great match incoming either, pitting the team with the 4th worst home record in the league against the team with the 3 worst away record. Their home record reads: W D L F A 3 2 3 10 10 And our awa...

Not sure of the exact application of the rule at our level, but I know in the Premier League + the Football League there is a cut off 19 league games after which you must accumulate 10 yellow cards before suspension. Again not sure what the application is whether that relates to the actual games pl...

Really disappointing capitulation second half when we got ourselves in such a good position. Not good enough under any circumstances when we've got ourselves into a good position and points are precious. Frustrating at the minute. In some ways so much better than last season. We have a clear game pl...
