Re: Any new faces

No new faces at training tonight apparently. No Lawlor and Taylor too, the latter has posted a photo of some nasty bruising on his back.

Re: Blood on hands/heads must roll

How many times under Gowling did we bemoan playing well, but not really hurting the opposition? It is kind of happening under Watson now. Never. We never played well under Gowling. Every game was tedious negative plodding dogshit and I hate him for it. Under Watson, although results haven't really ...

Re: Any new faces

As I have said before, if we cant sign good players when we are top then what chance when we are second bottom? Not many players are going to commit themselves to us on a permanent deal when we could well be in the NPL next season. It wouldn't surprise me if Main has a release clause if we go down. ...

Re: Darlington v Alfreton 10/02/24

The defence as a unit, including TT, I feel has improved under SW. We just need to find the key at the other end of the pitch. Still no sign of any new faces which is worrying, seems like quite a few have turned us down because of our league position plus we have the bigger problem of Spenny and po...

Re: Blood on hands/heads must roll

Ahh I forgot the season finished in September! If the board were so confident in Armstrong’s ability to give him a two year deal then they were stupid to get rid so soon in the season especially if there was money still in the kitty. Even if Armstrong had stayed we would not be in this mess now, we...

Re: Blood on hands/heads must roll

You can waffle on all you want with your anti Armstrong agenda but his track record stands up well and we would have ended up mid table. Gowling was appointed with a poorer win percentage ratio. That is stupidity. Not sure on what planet we would have finished mid table under Armstrong. He had mana...

Armstrong went public last month making himself available for a managerial role again. That could well be a hint that the notice period had been served.
Where was this out of interest? Haven’t heard anything from him.
It was on LinkedIn, reposted with a nice bit of support from Hodgy too

Re: Blood on hands/heads must roll

We were fully spent up before Hatfield came in, that’s what we were told. I’m not sure where you think there’s dishonesty, DJ said again at a fans forum whilst JG was in charge that we were overspending. Clearly, nothing has gone to plan this season and the board have stretched the budget in attemp...

Re: Blood on hands/heads must roll

The bit that really grates on me is how DJ and the board reacted to Mark Beck leaving. We were told targets were unaffordable, expectations were dampened, and ultimately AA’s budget was reduced. At the time we nodded along but given the disastrous appointment of JG who was given a significantly inc...

Re: Darlington v Alfreton 10/02/24

Sorry for missing the point, maybe you could take over then, is that the point? Successful business man etc? And if I had the time I would offer my services but my work takes up enough of my life without taking something else on. However I do help the club in other ways. Fair enough, I think DJ wou...

Re: Darlington v Alfreton 10/02/24

Firstly well done you on running your own business, hope you are doing well and living in the leafy west end etc, I feel running a football club that is owned primarily by fans is a bit different to running a business, for that reason I feel DJ deserves a break and has done his best, he has put his...

Bottom line is that the players are not strong enough, fit enough and just blatantly not good enough to keep us in this league.

Alfreton Town - what a bunch of twats! They roll around, waste time, break up play, tug shirts, they utilise every trick in the book - not just a few times, but as a fully blown ideology right through a match.

When you are expecting two players who are usually full backs to supply the ammo for a front 1 then you get the result that idea deserves. Absolute desperation excepting that to work.
