Re: York City

If you think about current positions York not in a good place, (lost tonight again), as chorley and blyth could overtake them if they win there games in hand. In fact if we had won at Telford, Tamworth and Boston ( all winable games to be honest when our team is on song) we would have been three po...

Re: Fenwick gone

In terms of our attacking play, Beck has become a victim of his own success. Mark Beck is a fantastic target man, at times totally unplayable, but we've become one-dimensional and expect him to perform miracles in terms of his output. One player cannot act as our only outlet for 90 mins, nor is he ...

Re: Darlington FC V Spennymoor match thread

A good game against a decent opposition. Our midfield seemed to be the problem today. The usual calm Turnbull's passing was woeful, maybe the breeze was the issue? Syers was non-existent and Gillies and Thompson seemed to be taking up the same positions too often. Brown and Collins were decent I th...

Re: Darlington FC V Spennymoor match thread

A draw was a fair result. Spenny had the better of the first half, we had the better of the second half. We don't seem to be creating chances and lack a bit of flair from the lads that usually bring it at the moment. Referee killed any chance of an entertaining game today, absolutely dreadful, gave ...

Re: York City v Darlo Match Thread

For all York pulverized us for the majority of the first half, we had our moments and could have easily had a couple of goals ourselves. Much improved second half. We'll probably be the happier with the draw, but we definitely had our moments. Very close to nicking it towards the end. Massive shift ...

Re: Solid, well-organised & deserving winners

I was chuffed when we signed Collins, exactly what we needed to add to what was largely a very good team last season. A really good, solid centre half used to playing in the best teams in this league. Sounded on the commentary like Brown's game improved as a result of being paired with Collins and I...

There was controversy over the red card because the linesman was flagging for offside for ages in the build up before the handball incident happened.

If we're being honest a lot of players, particularly in the first half, really didn't play well. Brown and Turnbull were the only ones to come out of that looking decent.
