Darlo Uncovered

I would say the overwheling majority of signings for this season have a positive tick next to them rather than a negative: Tommy Taylor, best keeper we've had in ages. Griffiths, solid enough, experienced full-back. Smith, good full-back who can link up well going forward. Rose, very good midfielde...

It could be possible to fit a smallish, Feethams sized ground next to the college alongside the railway lines but whether that land is available and residents would want a stadium there is questionable. I'd rather attempt to buyout Blackwell and mould it into a decent venue considering the investmen...

[ Are there people who genuinely feel optimistic about next season? Not sure anyone can answer that question at this point. A) We’ve got around 1/3 of the season still to play. B) We’ve no idea what the squad will look like in August. Feels a bit excessive to be trying to put a downer on next seaso...

No he'll be off to Kidderminster, Leamington etc being Midlands based. Would be very surprised if we were in for him.

It may contradict my tone, but I'd be willing to give AA at least another summer purely because I don't know who would be suitable should he step away and he hasn't yet had a full season until this one. Maybe we have to take a step back and be realistic but I think a fans forum is needed at some poi...

Nothing to look forward to now. Time for a total rebuild

It can only be that now. Start planning for next season...pretty sad when it's only January!

This is the type of result where you do get the questions of where the club is going. Bitterly disappointing and pretty much resigned to mid-table at best, it questions how long you can stomach this, how long can you keep putting money in if this is the ceiling? I know financial stability is great a...

This is atrocious and exactly why we are just treading water, totally unacceptable.

A Farsley type of performance would be great, especially against bottom of the league Telford. If the chances come our way then it could be a fill-your-boots opportunity and goal difference is going to be just as vital. We have proven that we can score goals without Charman, others are going to have...

I’d be very surprised if we haven’t negotiated some add-ons as part of the deal, but I’d imagine those won’t be made public at the time. This is just a reality of where we are as a club. I’m afraid to get further we need to identify more Charmans and turn a profit on them consistently. That’s how w...

These are the points dropped that will prevent us making the playoffs I'm afraid. It's already a tall order for us to reach them as we had a very slow start and after 21/22 matches (27 pts) we're over halfway through the season. We will have to more than double what we have accumulated so far to mak...

If we can't keep a couple of the loanees we have had them getting Wheater back in could be shrewd if he can prove his fitness. There is no doubting his experience but time out of the game may have taken its toll. IF he can prove his fitness then it's not like we've had an experienced or veteran back...

Are we not bound to a 20 year lease at BM?

Is it possible that we purchase Blackwell for ourselves and become the bigger half of the current arrangement.

Rochdale are interested also and National League team showed interest previous and one in our division. I would assume they will be plenty more for a player who can score goals with feet or head, close, outside the box and no doubt left foot/right foot. His work rate is outstanding and the fact he ...

Early goal conceded again...

These are the points dropped that will cost us challenging the play-offs. I'll admit I was dubious about some of the signings made in the summer and to an extent this is justified as it has still taken some transfer tweaking to get the competitive squad we have now. We are improved but still not the...

Same here, just seen this news. Hopefully, he will be alright and can carry on his career and I wish him all the best, get well soon.

Glad to see the team turning in some good performances of late. Much improved since Cooper and recently Ellis have come in. Hopefully, we can continue this form for the majority of the season from now on.

So strangulated umbilical hernia op. He doesn't want grapes, just 3 points. Get well soon and let's do it. Know all about bloody hernias. Most hernias can be done keyhole, but this type is usually open surgery. He'll be able to do limited duties within a week or 2. Knowing AA he'll be back soon. Re...

Interesting vote by the Guiseley fans in December 2019...

Quite a few current and ex-Darlo in that team.

I'm not bothered by the way in which this signing is announced. Lambert has the potential to be a good addition, like Nelson, based on his previous stint and much more like the type of recruitment I think we may have expected.

A name mentioned above may be an option but I'd much rather AA comes through this blip and proves he can turn this start around.

Just had a look at the results and had to double check that Newton Aycliffe hadn't been involved in a 19 goal thriller with Mossley as the BBC has it as Mossley 4-15 Newton Aycliffe lol.

Seriously though at the moment even a cup run seems unlikely.

I personally think we will be bottom half bordering relegation this season as we are nowhere near in terms of quality or depth to compete at this level. That's not to say AA hasn't tried to get the recruits we needed more a case that money talks and even at our level the pandemic has impacted and in...

Can't even grind out a point against 10 men, very poor....but you know we've got to allow a bit more time before asking questions.

Would like nothing better if after a few games it all gels and comes good and am sure you will remind me if it does. Just wish you would stop inferring that I only “claim” I want us to do well. If you knew me you would have no doubts about my allegiance. Equally though, I do believe that after seei...

Not great if AA is already putting vibes out about not being able to attract the kind of players he wants and knows we need. We're in danger of having a season just like the beginning of the end of MG and 'seat-gate', I can see him moving on if things don't work out well and then we will be back at...
