Re: GOWLING OUT

Re: York city

Wealdstone have 4 home games in a row, then another away one. They could easy leapfrog York.

It wouldn’t bother me in the slightest if York got relegated, the way they treated me last time I went 👎

Re: Massive credit to Watson and the board

What S.W. has achieved has been very impressive. Thinking back over the last 30 years I'm not sure whether I can think of another Darlo manager who has orchestrated such a dramatic turnaround on the pitch. Gray did well to make a team from nothing and Cooper did well to win the Trophy, but Watson ha...

Re: The Bottom Ten, Saturday Apr 06th 2024

I've been looking at the last ten game form table.

It's incredible that we've won 7 and lost 3 - and that there are only three teams better than us in this ten game period (Spenymoor/Brackley/South Shields) yet, here we are, still on tenterhooks!

Re: Darlington V Southport

There was something wrong with Southport. It was a big game for them too, yet they looked disinterested.

I loved Young’s continual baiting of the same Southport forward 😁 making him run in to the far corner of the penalty box before he picked the ball up. It was pantomime like.

There’s no chance Matty will be with us next season. He’s a young player who will have plenty of options and if he goes out on loan again he’ll be playing above our level.

They might be the two most winnable games (on paper) but heaping all the pressure on those two games is also not a great idea. We s...

It would be good to go some way to atone for that abomination of a result masterminded by Gowling at their place.
This game on Friday has nothing to do with that. It's a game, we need three points to help us avoid relegation - any talk of revenge or of Gowling is not relevant.

Griffiths was matched up against that really good player they have on loan from Walsall - and, possibly he (Griffiths) couldn't play in his normal way because of the plastic pitch?

Signed on loan from Gateshead. Striker who seems to have a pretty decent goalscoring record. Sounds like a bit of a fox in the box.
