Re: Chorley
Based on how the first 5 minutes played out, I’m very confident that Chorley would’ve won this game easily 11 v 11. JG points out that the players looked tired after Saturday and he’s definitely right but why is that the case? Chorley are part time, they played Saturday, what’s the difference? I ju...

Re: Gowling MUST go!
I don't think Jonno and Morley would have accepted our recent performances. And do what, exactly, to reject it. Be shouty at grown adults? I was speaking to someone at Bolton the other day. He was recounting how Sam Allardyce when he was there would never shout at players. He would always talk to t...

Re: Gowling MUST go!
It's becoming clear that we've made a huge mistake with this appointment. There are alarming signs that there are major problems behind the scenes with organisation, spirit and leadership and that has been clear in most of the games, not just in last night's disastrous performance. It is going to t...

Re: Chorley
Every schoolboy error was there, from senseless dangerous challenges, woeful marking & no system plus some cracking goals from Chorley & Moke.

Re: Chorley
I think that is possibly the biggest defeat in my time of watching Darlington going back to the 1960s. Everything that could have gone wrong, did go wrong tonight. All I would say is, let’s try to refrain from knee jerk reactions, and everyone needs to keep calm. I agree. I think chopping the manag...

Re: Chorley
No dressing up an awful result, hopefully a freak occurrence driven in part by the sending off but you have to question the players desire/professionalism to concede 8! All they can do is put it right and perform with some pride v Scunthorpe and more importantly in the league. Will sort out players...

Re: Chorley
For me Nelson should be the next out the door, he's never shown any kind of form with us since he has been back. I know its harsh, but we have got to think of the club and survival. Perhaps Alun and Danny were so invested in his rehabilitation that they couldn’t see the wood for the trees. Fact is ...

Superb result. Even though we conceded two, we didn’t collapse so encouragement can be taken from this resilience. Glad the 5 at the back seems to be gone.

Re: The Last 6 Fixtures vs Next 6 Fixtures Comparison
For me the next 2 games are crucial. A minimum of 4 points are needed from these as Chester and Chorley will be very difficult. We currently need to be hitting fractionally over 1.3 points per game from now on the get to 50 points to have a chance of safety. Every game we fail to hit that increases ...

Re: Spennymoor
How come we started the game without a recognised centre-back on the bench and left two fit centre-backs out of the squad? So that when Lawlor was injured we had to move Platt from midfield into defence. Isn't it just basic stuff to have some cover in the way Spenny did? Because he is a terrible ma...

Re: Spennymoor
Thought we started quite well, and Spennymoor’s first goal came rather against the run of play. Looked like an error from Robson, but he might have been unsighted by defenders lying too deep and not closing down quickly enough. He certainly redeemed himself in the second half making several excelle...
