Finlay Barnes has joined Scaboro. He can play tomorrow.

B****r! Have we been nursing a viper?

TBF it is hardly fair to expect the lad to slot into the team & get onto the scoresheet if he only trains with them once a week. Can see why we wouldn't pick him for the Scarboro game as he would be cup-tied & may cool interest from other sides. No doubt he has potential but needs to be moved on now.

TBF Ray has already suffered having to watch us week after week, season after season......

Good to see JG ringing the changes, starting with the pre-match warm-up. It looked to be organised, purposeful & inclusive of whole squad. JG was totally involved and seemed to continue directing throughout the match from technical area. Subs all used in timely fashion (although I would have liked B...

Nice to have Will Hatfield back playing with spirit & justifiably MOTM. Others need to take a leaf out of his book. We played better without Moke who got a yellow card & hardly played a forward pass. Hazel just out of his class missed couple of 1/2 chances but we were kept in game at 0-1 by super sa...

Also it’s sunny and dry so hopefully a decent crowd.

The upstairs sprinklers were on for 20mns about 11am but hopefully it was just a shower. Forecast is for it to be dry up by kick-off.

The Scunny board say tough, unpopular decisions are having to be made to put the club on a stable financial footing. There is speculation that this may include giving up on the eviction battle at Glandford Park and moving to be tenants of Gainsborough Trinity, shedding players or going part-time, a...

Perhaps a TV deal?
More likely acting on police advice on the projected hordes of away fans drinking in town pre-match. Are they basing this on the unacceptable behaviour last season?

And now beaten 3-1 in FA Cup qualifying R2 replay by the mighty Brackley Town.

On line where at 1:00?

TBF A lot of hot air vented on the terraces & Forum about being fan owned, so wonder why so few folk have bothered to vote. Surely this is a chance for us to have a say & a responsible owner should make the effort. What are you suggesting ? Do you think we should have a fans poll for a new manager ...

But in the end we got through to the next round. It was a banana skin of a fixture & glad we got over it safely with cash into the bank. Hope we get a decent draw & can progress. Perhaps any potential manager might see we are not quite the sad case that our current league position shows.

Whoever comes in it’s going to be difficult, budget is likely spent I doubt there are no new big commercial deals to be done so it’s going to down to commitment and man management, TBH I wouldn’t wish that on anyone but whoever takes the role let’s all get behind him/her. Her ?? Am all for inclusiv...

Anyone spot a potential manager watching us today ?

Good luck to Barnes, training with York as well as Darlo shows how driven & ambitious he is. Shame if we can't hanģ on to him for longer as he looked an ideal replacement for Lambert.

Obvious candidate, sacked World Cup winner & on the look-out for a quiet job away from Spain - Jorge Vilda

Just listened to Alun’s post-match interview.

Was he at a different game?

TBF He was actually at the match, unlike Buxton.

At least it was a clean sheet - full 90+ minutes when we didn't concede. That's about it. No discernible formation, method or thought apart from "hoof it up" (even though nobody capable of receiving a ball & either hold or layoff). The side looked bereft of any attacking threat. AA has got us rooted...

Jorge Vilda has become available, good manager & recent World Cup winner probably seeking a new challenge in men's game away from Spain.......
Just saying there are alternatives out there

Is that the rustle of banks notes or just static (like our defence)?

Yes there is history between Darlo and Workington fans. I remember going to Workington I think for my first away game and there was running battles outside the ground. Of course there was always the pie incident in their social club!!!!! Ahhh, the good old daze😬 Best behaviour this time as we are u...

A lifetime ago (well until 1977) this was a regular Div4 fixture which was always packed with incident. Still not an easy one even if we are a league above.

Quote from club website before the game
"Alun: I've not been disappointed with the performances of late"

He should be now

Alun needs to explain why he was missing before I even think about going. The team look in disarray, is Hatfield the same player as before. Lots of questions.

Absolutely right. He needs to nail the rumours now.

The team crumbled like RAAC statues. Just not learning from situations like continually trying to hoof long balls up to a CF who can't hold / lay off/ shoot on target even when he isn't tightly marked by 2 CBs and never got any decision from the ref (who also had an appalling game - especially red c...

What are the odds that the new manager at York will pull him back at end of his loan period leaving us back at square one?
