Re: Season 23/24
Knoxy 500. What the hell are you trying to do.you don't know s*** from clay. Maybe not, but he is not the only 1 starting to feel that way. I keep reading that DJ is "Great" for the club. I simply don't see what that is based on. Based on the fact that he has steered the club through some difficult...

Re: Any new faces
Maybe a job for Asante. Mr Q strolls around on the touch line and doesn’t interfere with play, so could be a perfect fit.

Re: South Shields v Darlo
I think the way they play will actually suit us. We do play decent football and it should be a good game. The all important thing is the first goal because as soon as we concede, the heads drop and it's curtains. Absolutely correct. I believe we have scored first in every game we have won this seas...

If Tommy isn’t fit, we do have another keeper on the books, Harvey Kelly I believe is still on our books.

Re: South Shields v Darlo
I think you are referring to Stuart Armstrong. He actually asks meaningful questions and doesn’t try to answer the question himself. Maybe the club prefer Ray’s banal approach.

Re: Any new faces
I thought Joe Leesley was excellent when he came in last season. He looked comfortable anywhere on the left flank. Unfortunately, we have been badly stung by signing players returning from injury, particularly Wheater and Asante. However, I would be very happy if he trained with us on a non contract...

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...

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
The description of a regular poster on here suggests a certain person to me, and if it is who I think it is, it is about time that individual was banned for a long time, because he repeatedly brings the club into disrepute.

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

Re: Darlington v Alfreton 10/02/24
If it wasn't for Hatfield telling him what he should do the ref would have carried on with the game with a player on two yellows. Never seen anything like it.

Re: Darlington v Alfreton 10/02/24
That’s it now we are going to be relegated. Do we deserve it, yes we do, because we gift silly goals and are useless at creating and converting chances. Again we weren’t outplayed, but we’re beaten by a more physical team, which is a familiar pattern. A word on the referee. Absolutely bizarre perfor...

Re: Darlington v Alfreton 10/02/24
According to the club website there will be a precautionary pitch inspection on Saturday morning. Surely there is either an inspection or there isn’t, the word precautionary is a complete red herring. If you are examining the pitch to see if it is playable, then that constitutes a pitch inspection i...

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 Griffi...

Suprised that as Kenzie hasn’t figured in the first team, he hasn’t had a loan spell at a Northern League club to help him get used to mens football. Maybe if we are relegated a few games before the end of the season, he will get some game time. If I remember correctly he came from Newcastle’s Acad...

I am not someone who thinks the Board should be pilloried, especially by keyboard warriors who are big on opinions and short on commitment to the club.

Perhaps we could get back to something that is actually relevant a...

The Gowling legacy has been immensely damaging from lots of perspectives. The fact that he essentially swopped last season's top scorer for Asante is a glaring example of that. Boston ended up with a goal scorer and goal maker and we ended up with a crock who we now don't see. It's absolutely appal...

Re: Brackley v Darlington
The stark reality is that we will need as many points in the final third of the season as the first two thirds put together. SW has tightened up the defence, I think 6 goals conceded in his 6 games in charge, but unfortunately only 3 goals scored. We just don’t create good chances, so I don’t see us...
