Leamington new ground
Saw this thread from Leamington FC on Twitter last night regarding their new ground. Lots to be jealous of, not least the level of support from Warwick District Council. If only DFC could get some real strong local government support behind us and build the football club into the local plan. https:/...

Re: The Bottom Ten, Tuesday Mar 26th 2024
In the off field relegation stakes: Saw Warrington have been given an extension to 30th April to have their ground upgrades completed and inspected to meet Cat B ground grading. Report said the ground had been initially inspected this week which I presume means inspected with the completed upgrades ...

Re: The Bottom Ten, Tuesday Mar 26th 2024
Feels like a straight shoot out to the end of the season between us, Rushall and Farsley. Farsley: played 40, gd -17, pts 46 Fixtures remaining: Southport 15th (h), Spennymoor 8th (a), Peterborough Sports 18th (h), Peterborough Sports 18th (a), Darlington 20th (a), Buxton 14th (h) L10games PPG: 0.5 ...

Re: Rushall v Darlington
Bad day at the office. Poor performance but credit to Rushall. Scored two good goals and were very game for the fight. Did well in midfield to get on second balls quickly. A game which underlined some of the flaws we were seeing pre-Watson. Keeper not commanding his 6 yard box. Lack of pace in the f...

Re: Darlington v Banbury 2/03/24
Feels like it will depend on if and when we can get reinforcements and the quality of them and how they fit in. Couple of injuries now which will see players missing for 2-3 weeks. Hatfield on 9 bookings. It’s all on a knives edge Fingers crossed Hatfield can get through the Scunthorpe and Spennymo...

Re: The Bottom Seven, Saturday Mar 02nd 2024
Good write up as ever Ginge. Kings Lynn seem to have found the players and form to pull away from the drop zone. Not unexpected, a full time team should be no where near the relegation zone in this league. I can't help but feel Blyth are a bad round of results away from getting involved in this rele...

Re: Darlington v Banbury 2/03/24
Another massive win. Credit to Steve and Terry they have turned us around massively, 18 points from their 12 games in charge. Perfect for the 1.5 points per game we needed to survive when they both came in. We really need them both signed up long term, would be a huge boost to the club and the fan b...

Re: Darlington v Buxton
Good result yesterday. And sounded thoroughly deserved. Pleased for Nelson to get his goal and it was very well taken, but we need more from him before the end of the season. Glad to see Curry there at the back post to tap in the equaliser too. Since the turn of the year he's got some important goal...

Re: Darlington v Buxton
May as well put this on repeat, but why even bother with a pre match interview. How on earth can we fail to ask about the central defence position and whether we can recall Sukar, never mind the Asante situation. It’s like we are just going through the motions of doing one but know it’s a complete ...

Re: South Shields v Darlo
Don't think they can have complaints about the first red. Yes he's a long way out. But 0 covering defenders, Main is running away from Briggs for a 1v1 with the goal keeper and he makes no attempt to play the ball. Those 3 factors combine to mean its a red. The foul on Cornish is tough without a muc...

Couple of strikes on goal which needed Tommy's attention, but saves I'd expect him to make. Pen looked a perfectly good save to me. Ball direction also made it look like Tommy got a s...

Re: Banbury V Darlington
Few tired bodies and knocks at the end of the game on Saturday so feel like the squad will need to be ready to be used and rotate. We've seen issues before with overplaying Lawlor especially with a long distance to travel to get to the game, wonder if Siddik might come in for him in the back line al...

Well good timing on putting in our best performance of the season.

Looked like Will’s best game in a while deeper in midfield getting in...

Re: Darlington v Hereford
Doesn't look like reinforcements are rushing over the hill just yet which is frustrating, but none the less the players who are here need to stand up and be counted and start dragging us out of the mess we've gotten ourselves into. Siddik being fit is a boost and hopefully Barrow can shake off his i...

Can't win a game of football when basically the full matchday squad has an off day. Hedley run ragged for goal 1, barely able to find a Darlo player with a pass. CBs too slow to react for both goals. CMs not breaking the lines and moving forward with the ball. Cant remember the last time Liddle did ...
