Darlo Uncovered

Team for this afternoon: Young, Hedley, Lees, Barrow, Griffiths, Hatfield, Liddle, Rivers, Cornish, Curry, Main Subs: Platt, Ngandu, Salkeld, Nelson, Lindley Looks 4-4-2 ish to me. Slightly worried about us winning the ball back in midfield only really Hatfield that is a ball winner in there. But ho...

May as well put this on repeat, but why even bother with a pre match interview. How on earth can we fail to ask about the central defence position and whether we can recall Sukar, never mind the Asante situation. It’s like we are just going through the motions of doing one but know it’s a complete ...

Another really insightful update! Again no mention of new signings or clarification on injuries - I find it staggering that these questions aren’t asked. SW appears the type of straight talking manager who would say it exactly as it is so surely just ask ? Or do we really think that keeping this in...

Don't think they can have complaints about the first red. Yes he's a long way out. But 0 covering defenders, Main is running away from Briggs for a 1v1 with the goal keeper and he makes no attempt to play the ball. Those 3 factors combine to mean its a red. The foul on Cornish is tough without a muc...

Team for today Taylor, Hedley, Platt, Lees, Siddik, Barrow, Griffiths, Hatfield, Liddle, Cornish Main Subs: Ngandu, Salkeld, Curry, Nelson, Lindley Trying to work that out: - 4 at the back with Hedley in midfield - 3 at the back with Platt slotting in and Griffiths and Barrow as WB Similar at the ot...

Not one I saw coming. But in reality it's a part of the squad we have plenty of options with Platt, Hatfield, Lindley, Liddle. Though none of them being quite the creative player we need.

They were better than us first half, looked dangerous each time they attacked, but in reality didnt create too much. Couple of strikes on goal which needed Tommy's attention, but saves I'd expect him to make. Pen looked a perfectly good save to me. Ball direction also made it look like Tommy got a s...

Not great by Taylor, no need to bring his man down according to DFR.

Didn't look a pen live. Brackley fans infront of them missing themselves laughing at it going their way.

Few tired bodies and knocks at the end of the game on Saturday so feel like the squad will need to be ready to be used and rotate. We've seen issues before with overplaying Lawlor especially with a long distance to travel to get to the game, wonder if Siddik might come in for him in the back line al...

Well good timing on putting in our best performance of the season. Can only comment on the highlights but looked like everyone to a man played well, including the subs coming on and giving us threat and helping to secure the game. Looked like Will’s best game in a while deeper in midfield getting in...

Doesn't look like reinforcements are rushing over the hill just yet which is frustrating, but none the less the players who are here need to stand up and be counted and start dragging us out of the mess we've gotten ourselves into. Siddik being fit is a boost and hopefully Barrow can shake off his i...

Interview with DJ following successfully meeting the BTB target. Says we missed out on a striker we thought we were close on who went to a club in our league. Looking at recent movers, presume it was Jonny Margetts who was having an unbelievable season with Matlock in the league below, but signed fo...

Goes without saying a really tough game tomorrow, a team coming to BM bang in form, scoring plenty of goals and full of confidence. We have a complete lack of goals and a leaky defence. Not getting a result at Southport away on Tuesday has brought some pressure onto this game to get something. It wo...

Can't win a game of football when basically the full matchday squad has an off day. Hedley run ragged for goal 1, barely able to find a Darlo player with a pass. CBs too slow to react for both goals. CMs not breaking the lines and moving forward with the ball. Cant remember the last time Liddle did ...

Interesting game tonight, our record at Southport is fairly appalling, but you would hope that the team is feeling confident after a win at Kings Lynn. We could really do with a win tonight, that would give us a free hit against Tamworth on Saturday whilst also not letting Southport pull away from t...

Very positive day at the office. Clean sheet and three points on the road. Do it again against Southport on Tuesday and we’re back in the pack with games in hand on Southport and Banbury both of who are below us in the form table atm. Wasn’t a game of lots of chances, but most pleasingly we were com...

Got to be realistic about tomorrow, don't expect us to have become a Rolls Royce team over night but god do we need a win tomorrow. Drags KL back towards us, gives some further encouragement to the lads and the new management and might inspire some further BTB donations which in turn might help us i...

Fantastic as always from our fans and owners. Be interesting to see what a positive performance and result tomorrow might have on that total.

I bet you're also praying that Warrington and Rushall fail to get their grounds upgraded and are hurled back down. Heart of stone you :) Just reading that Rushall Olympic were today (Jan 4) granted planning permission for essential improvements to their ground and face a race against time to get th...

We're in a terrible position, and it's a combination of factors in my opinon. It's not all Gowling's fault- we were bottom of the table when he came in and the likes of Hazel and Felix were key components of the team who went from top to bottom of the table, so they (and the other players) have to ...

Based solely on league position. I think you're right. But caveated with the fact that I also think this is the poorest NLN since we've been in the division (disclaimer this also highlights just how crap we've been from say dot this season). Warrington looked really poor and limited at BM but are co...

Whoever is next into the hot seat has a big job on their hands. Just like on boxing day we've conceded a soft goal. Whilst Scarborough didnt really threaten the goal much, they were able to get crosses into our box at will. We bypassed the midfield but couldn't get the ball to stick up front. We see...

Not going go celebrate anyone losing their job. But it had a horrible feeling of not working out after. Important to remenber not everything JG tried to implement was bad. For a long time during Armstrongs spell there was a call for more analytics, and he has brought some promising players to the cl...

Not much in that game from what I've seen. Stupid pen to give away by Hedley. Nothing happening upfront. Other than Rivers shot just after their goal we've done nothing in their box, which needs to change second half.

Going to try and be positive. Siddick looks decent from what I've seen.

Really need to complete the job of getting back into the pack on Saturday. Kings Lynn away at Southport, Rushall playing South Sheilds and Blyth playing chester gives us an opportunity of those around us no picking up points. So important we finish the day on 22 points and with a game or two in han...

JE93 Why drop moke best player last week they say . I personally like his attitude.and work rate :thumbup: Just personal opinion really. Platt is different from any other midfield option we have. I've been impressed with Lindley since he's joined and for me he hasn't put a foot wrong, so deserves h...

I see Gloucester beat Curzon 3-0 this evening. Hard to know what that means for our result there at the weekend, perhaps puts into context what a good result it was on their 4g pitch. It certainly seems a closer league this season. Hopefully means there's plenty of opportunities to pull ourselves ou...

Well, after what feels like a while without a game (not sure if that's a good or bad thing these days) it's likely we'll get back to playing on Saturday away to Gloucester. Our opponents winning in midweek means we slip to 23rd in the league, but defeats for Kings Lynn and Peterborough Sports meant ...

We won't come back up anytime soon if we go down, some big teams in the league below with bigger budgets that us . It would be an absolute disaster if we go down. If that is how football works we have nothing to worry about as we are a decent sized team in this league with a mid-table budget so we'...
