Darlo Uncovered

I am not convinced by Mr Hazel. He seems to give his all for a while, then can go quickly off the boil. The type of player who loves to be loved, but can quickly fall out of love as well. His love affair with Darlington certainly did not last the test of time. I think that is a fair assessment. Des...

Re our forward line, I was just reading the comments from the Boston fans about Jacob Hazel and he seems transformed from the player that JG got shot of to be replaced by Asante. To a man the fans are gushing in their praise of Hazel, saying he's the best signing they've made in ages, makes them ti...

I think Gray could work again and he might have a bit more humility about him this time - which could work in our favour. His fall was more rapid than his rise. He has been out of management for 5 years now so why has no one else employed him? Having said that, he did a lot for us when we reformed ...

With a fair chunk of the season still to go, we should easily smash Staunton's record of players used in a season. I think we have used thirty one so far and counting.....

His team talk the other day, with the f word every other word was embarrassing. Not that I'm a puritan, but if you're swearing every other word, you're not communicating effectively.

JG's team talk, am I missing something here?

See the video of our trip to Gloucester the other week.

Right decision by the Board but it was inevitable. Seems strange DR staying for the time being has he not also been part of the problem since September?

Darlobill, it would be a joint decision by all the board that includes DFCSG .one man doesn't make the decisions it's collective..

Spot on.

If they sack Josh, then I suspect it would be the end of DJ, so be careful for what you wish for!! Merry Christmas everyone, hope your all having a good one. Who are they ? I thought any termination of contract would be DJ's decision. No one is calling for DJ's head as well, he is the most importan...

If Nelson is fit and doesn't have the virus, why an earth is he not on the bench?

Yes but how ,do you get "Match fitness"?.........Here we go.

Cardo, 21, joined Palace at the age of 15, and played for their Academy and Under 21 teams. He also played for the Palace first team in friendly matches against Liverpool and Manchester United -- Liverpool had Mo Salah in their team -- and made his full debut for them in the EFL Trophy against Swin...

Great result glad Asante got so many minutes on the pitch. Well donexall. We have narrowed the gap, hope at last.

Let us not forget the "anonymous fan donation" towards the cost of this trip as well. That is mentioned in the email I received today but not in Danny's interview. Thanks to whoever it was.

I see we've signed a young lad on an emergency loan as 2 players are out with a virus. The article doesn't say who is missing, though. Answers on a postcard. https://darlingtonfc.co.uk/news/quakers-sign-teenager-dan-maw?fbclid=IwAR3-D-Cq8PXgYnY7jKHFViWuh7OAKGOG43f5hOVFsVP193gj9OYI9_H4Kuw You mean "...

Means another long distance midweek trip in Jan/Feb, but at least gives time to get players fit, and add more midfielders to the squad.

Come on we only have 9 midfielders in the squad at present, need two more to complete a team. (By the way that is tongue in cheek!)

Getting a bit fed up of people giving negative thoughts on here and hoping to be proved wrong. Please do share your positive thoughts on this signing I would be interested to hear them based on who he has played for. Positive thoughts... he is a young lad who plays football and who the manager thin...

We've signed a player and there are scant details about him, his background, his role, his style, his qualities, his experience, his hopes etc. That's not being negative, it's a statement of fact for fans who like to know a bit about new faces. This is a really critical time for the club and any mo...

No interview with the new player and no mention of him in Josh's interview for Banbury. No wonder no one seems that interested in this signing. And that’s part of the problem at moment, nothing seems linked together. We sign a new player, creates some interest and conversation and the manager doesn...

How much will he urn. I’ll get my coat.

Let's hope this does not play out like a Greek Tragedy. I know signing players must be hard given our position in the League etc but we need players who can perform at this level. This seems yet another gamble. Happy to be proved wrong.

Good quiz question! I wonder if Horsham got Barnsley's winnings for the last round or were they just content as "Luck Looser"?

Fans wanted changes, Josh tried to make changes, some fans kicked off because Josh tried to make changes... I think the reason this has become such a big debating point is this. When JG arrived (I just listened to his first interview again) he mentions things like "I am excited by the squad.....I k...

The fact we have signed an undercooked striker, yes with some kind of ability, and seems like everyone is pinning hopes on him. Isn't it more of a worry that we don't have the personnel to create the chances consistently? Yes, possibly an upgrade on Hazel but no guarantees he will bail us out on hi...

By the way a useful informative update frm the Physio. Club need to keep this information up to date now.
