Re: Tommy Taylor Departs
It's his choice to leave. After a season like that just gone where he has been in and out of the team, and come under some scrutiny of his abilities - rightly or wrongly - I'm not surprised he feels a fresh start somewhere else is what he feels is best. Yes, it'll be a task to replace in the goalke...

Re: Tommy Taylor Departs
All the best to Tommy. I'm sure an absolute brilliant lad to have around the changingroom and club. But for me, the right decision. With limited resources the loan route seems to be the best to maximise the position. You think we should just go with a loan keeper next season? What if we can't get a...

Re: Tommy Taylor Departs
For me when we played Tamworth their keeper Singh, hit his team mates every time, with a kick or throw, he commanded his box, confident in the air and I remember counting TT and every other ball went to touch and it wasn't that windy(I accepted he would never release the ball quickly) and appeared f...

I don't think my heart has slowed down from the last five minutes yet, cracking atmosphere just as good as at South Shields. Blyth in first half were better than us, we gave the ball away time after time, which was more JG era; Hedley and Cornish kept getting overloaded and that save By Young from b...

Re: Matty Cornish
great energy, great feet and like Lambert tries to look for a forward pass and not affected if it doesn't come off first time. And can score a goal, I would hope we can keep him for next season.

Re: Darlington v Alfreton 10/02/24
Hope Tommy Taylor is OK following his collision with the post on Saturday. Watching it again it was a hell of a knock and he bravely carried on for the best part of the ninety minutes, I would imagine in some pain and discomfort. I think sometimes we forget that players can’t just put their feet up...

Re: Darlington v Alfreton 10/02/24
With just 8 home games left, it is really important we get a good run of home form going. The last one, when we beat Hereford was more like it, and we need more of the same on Saturday against Alfreton. We will have to see exactly who is available, but would think we might go with a back 4 of Griff...

Re: Kevin Luff
Absolute legend! Providing so much of his own time giving us fans all the goals and highlights over the years. I would argue that this should be a paid job as it gives the club exposure via media channels. As a so called media manager is happy to take a wage for sub standard stuff. Out of order dig ,
