Darlo Uncovered

A successful run in the Trophy would, of course, add to the pressure. Three games a week occasionally?

Oh, I really was asleep this morning!

Good news for today: despite not playing, we can’t fall more than one position down the league table (groan).

I'd be happy with an Altrincham v Boston final, by the way this isn't a prediction!!!“

You must make non-predictions more often, Pete.

Can’t the mods delete this mahi01 spammer?

Tonight’s??

mind if those moderator’s would off been doing there jobs proper this shouldant off been a issue.

Did I hear Pete murmur, “B@@@@@ of”?

Statistically, I think we have good grounds for play-off optimism. OK, we can expect to lose to Boston tomorrow, but 8 of our remaining 13 games are against teams currently below us in the league. We have a 'good' trio of games near the end of the season - Curzon, Kettering and Bradford. Perhaps the...

Chester are my son-in-laws local team. He is none to happy with their current performance and commitment and reckons they will not make the play-offs. If that thought is in their squad's minds...

Please don't bash the pessimists who were guessing at sub-2000; I am sure they are delighted to be proved wrong. Now, if only it were 2000+ each game...

Good chance Malden & Tiptree could have a replay v Leyton Orient which wouldn’t be good

Or they could beat them! 1-2 to M & T with 10 minutes to go.

I see that Walsall don't have a midweek game next week, but we are playing on Wednesday, which is going to make it tough against Walsall who are also full-time.

Join my club, Pete, in getting it wrong!

Don't think anyone has yet mentioned that we have a mid-week fixture beforehand (Kidderminster), whereas Walsall do not. Might help, on that score, to have a Sunday game.

Penalties.

A friendlier team on the coast, in the shape of Whitby Town, would be a nice, local draw. We could even win!

Important we don't expect too much, or too little, from any game this season. There will be downs and ups. We are not going to gain promotion. We will not be relegated. Middle of the pack by April.
As for this game, my gut says we will narrowly lose out... but, perhaps, that's expecting too little!

Well, Saturday is hear, and we shall soon know AA's views on who plays where. I simply want to say what an excellent thread this has been to read, with different views put over in a way that respects what others think = kind of "OK, you see it that way, but I see it this way because...". Perhaps tho...

Shame the forecast looks horrible for Saturday. Likely to put many off, if it rains as predicted. Gloomsters (sorry for the political in word!) might even suggest the game could be off because of a waterlogged pitch.

The Lionesses v Darlo. Result? And score?

Yes, I do. In my dream and, when I posted, I had completely forgotten he had moved south. Keeping up with all the transfers is a struggle for an oldie like me.

Sorry, guys. Must learn to spell propperlie!

Didn't want to muck up the serious "Sticky" thread about team players, so apologies for posting here. Woke up this morning, after a kind of dream/nightmare. AA giving his team talk before the first game of the season, along the lines of: "Remember we are playing 5-3-3 and the most important thing is...

France looked so, so fluent in their opener. Difficult to beat?

There have been a number of posts suggesting that we simply ignore posts from spen_666. Something we could all aim to follow, Andy?

The chance to get a full month's footie on the box. Full marks to the BBC for their excellent coverage.
The women's game has improved no end at the international level and I, for one, shall make the most of the tournament.

Don't know if it is still possible to invest, but a few payments went through yesterday (1st June) - to push the total to over £103,000. So, if you meant to put something in but didn't get round to it for some reason, perhaps you could still try...?

100K. Unbelievable!

Lots of relevant things said in this thread, along with the inevitable swings from "He must go" to "Brilliant", when we find ourselves in a situation where we clutch at good or bad straws as the wind blows from game to game. For what it's worth, my view has always been to give TW a continuing chance...

I would suggest that the increasing lack of support around him has something to do with it. A fast run, win the ball, look to someone to pass to and find nobody can hardly encourage.

Some good, some bad. We seriously don’t want to lose tomorrow night.
