Darlo Uncovered

Excellent post, only thing I disagree with is the ‘rotten to the core’comment I think that’s unfair and assume you are referring to the playing side Just to clarify, I was not suggesting that we are rotten to the core, but Sunderland certainly were at the time. Much like Sunderland back then though...

I think this needs its own thread as it's too much of a ball ache replying to individual threads and I don't want to point fingers or single anybody out and all that kind of thing, however I do want to address some of the quite frankly nonsensical things I've read on this forum following that absolu...

After tonight, that’s literally all we can hope for.

In that case, we're as as good as gone.

The only reason Asante is here is because of Gowling, for that reason alone I think he’s going to stay.. Asante hasn’t come cheap.

It would be highly foolish to pin all your hopes on one player.

Weren't they known as Nuneaton Town when they were in the NLN, or did I imagine that? I recall them beating us 2-1 at Blackwell the year they were relegated after a dreadful run of form, in fact it may have been their first win of the season! I'm sure they were in the mire financially back then as w...

Under Tommy Wright's reign we flirted with relegation a little bit but I thought we had the players to get us enough points. Guys, the reality is, we have one foot in the next division already. I cannot see us getting out of this. We do not have goals in our team, midfield and attack. We need to ha...

Eight points adrift with Chester and Chorley to come, excellent!

Back to square one.

]We're a quarter of the way through the season. No win is meaningless. Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk The win against Alfreton in August seemed to pale into insignifance didn't it? We may only be a quarter of the way through season, but April isn't as far away as it seems and it'll be here...

Lose and Saturday's result is meaningless. A few days ago the Farsley game was a must win. We won. Now if we lose the next game apparently that must win Farsely game is meaningless! If we'd lost a few days ago we'd be ten points adrift, so yes we did need to win and we did win now we need to build ...

Big opportunity to get off the bottom tomorrow night with Gloucester not playing, and if results elsewhere go our way we could be within three points of safety. Farsley have a tough game with Boston who are on the fringes of the play-offs and Bishop's Stortford play Alfreton who are fifth, although ...

This is like Groundhog Day. So although the list is a privately circulated you claim to have been informed of who's on it? Yes. I am not sure why this is such a difficult concept? Tell me you haven’t read any of my posts, without telling me you haven’t actually read my posts. The irony! Have you re...

When it comes to these people who claim to be "ITK" I always take anything I read on here or elsewhere with a pinch of salt, and before I carry on no, this is not a personal attack on anybody. We have already seen claims of a loan from the council dismissed as nonsense and then just a couple of days...

I reckon a good 400, puts Spennymoor fans in their place.

Still got sour grapes over last week's result, Pete?

Excellent, onto Tuesday.

It's a crucial four days coming up, season defining? Not quite, but important in shaping our destiny in the coming weeks? Absolutely as we have two difficult games to follow.

We need a win, and we need it soon.

Cockney hasn’t been seen at a Darlo game since. Another “committed fan” who sacked the club off on a whim. I know he was less active on here after that incident! :lol: Also I know of a few who vowed to never return after we orginally agreed to groundshare with Shildon before moving to Bishop, but t...

It was Aaron Martin.

That's the one.

Well, at least Flapper Whitley has got himself fixed up... lucky escape for us there

Would you be calling him a flapper if he'd signed?

Set to be announced on loan from York City, Taylor won’t be returning. Well this is certainly awkward, but don't worry you're not alone I think Stoddart announced we'd signed a player and it was a done deal on social media in the summer and he ended up elsewhere, I can't remember his name but he re...

Farsley from memory always keep the grass long which has caught us out a few times when we have tried to play a passing game. As well as the grass it has never looked a very flat surface, seems to have little undulations running through it. With Storm Ciaran coming in I wouldn’t be suprised if the ...

That’s jinxed that then Any team who hasn’t won at home/away Always do it against us This has always been the case Or it certainly seems like it Bath away in 2011 comes to mind, they hadn't won or kept a clean sheet until they played us in October that year and of course they broke their duck and b...

I said in a previous post I think the next ten games will shape our destiny this season as a fair few of them are against sides who are in or around the bottom four and the next week will be crucial, if we come away from both both Farsley and Peterborough Sports empty handed then I really hold out n...

OldGit wrote:Not to mention we later sold Heaton and Styche for good money, and probably would have got a good fee for Trotman had he not suffered a bad injury.

Trotman sacked it off in the end to go on reality TV, can't really blame the lad it opened up a lot of doors for him outside of Football.

It has the potential to become very messy as Taylor, Lees, Sukar & Nelson have all been offered to other clubs. Rivers apparently also said he was 'out-of'-favour' on Saturday. If this is true then I wouldn't be so sure Gowling is doing it out of his own free will, I'd be inclined to think it would...

I think the next ten games will have a big bearing on our fate this season (which is looking like it's being sewed up already), Spenny were a bit of a wounded animal, had a couple of bad results including a hammering at Scunthorpe in midweek and were looking for a response, a trip up the road to fac...

My concern at the moment is out of the seven players Gowling has brought in so far, four of them have been on loan (one of whom has already returned to his parent club) and the other three have come from the lower leagues. As it stands once Robson, Burton and Simms complete their loans, with the exc...

I for one am becoming a bit concerned about signing non-contract players from Leagues below us. Oh well time will tell. Just bought a ticket to stream the game so I can see formyself! Especially from teams who don't exist! There isn't, nor to the best of my knowledge, has there ever been a "Gorcal ...

The secrecy surrounding it is nuts.

Omitting it from an article is one thing, but DJ was directly asked the question at the ‘Fans’ Forum’ and said this information was confidential.

Crazy.

Could it be, he is non contract terms?!

I’ve largely been an absentee fan this year. Was only my second game of the year this season, and that’s after the opening day (although obviously I watch our highlights but you don’t always get the full match picture from them). Same here, I haven't been to a match since Scunny away in August, foo...

I'm not quite sure what the point of this poll is to be honest. I'm not quite sure what the point of a second BTB is, it just smacks of desperation mostly because it is desperation. Despite a record breaker this summer we've ended up with what is on paper our worst team in years, we've put much bet...

Thoughts on today; Didn't think Tamworth were that brilliant - they didn't play us off the park. Partly because we are better than we think we are. Big problem is decision making. If you play from the back you have to have people in front offering themselves. If they take the ball with back to goal...
