Darlo Uncovered

Sukar was dropped....offered out to other clubs......and now Gowling needs him back. I am absolutely amazed that people can't see that this is terrible man-management, just like the Tommy Taylor situation. Totally agree with this, Sukar is certainly a good enough player to be at least on the bench ...

Bugger! with Lawlor having a shoulder injury time for Sukar to step in slongside Lees perhap Sukar whos been sacked off is now needed you mean! Could he be blamed if he didn't really give a toss and just went through the motions for a man who obviously doesn't want him around the club? Hope we get ...

I was angry last night and now resigned to the fact unless manager resigns we are relegated. JG signings Hannah, Robson,Windfield,Rowe,Lindley, Ngandu, Simms have been poor and not improved the squad. Watching Rowe and Lindley jumping out of tackles and Simms running like a puppy dog chasing a ball...

Yes the players capitulated and have to take the blame for this defeat, but which manager in their right mind keeps 3 attacking players on the field when we're 3 down, then 4 down, then 5 down. We're going to lose the game at that stage, so shut up shop as best you can and limit the damage. I'm not...

Pinning our hopes on a striker that’s not played since April is not good. For me the squad and team is fractured they are not playing for each other. There is zero team spirit and without that you can talk all you want about tactics but if there is no fight then you will achieve nothing. We knew th...

Even the signing of Asante isn’t going to save his job. It’s turned into a massive embarrassment. Last time I remember us conceding 8 in a game was a cup match at Watford back in the 80s but at least they were 3 divisions higher than us! That's the most gutless performance I can EVER remember from ...

100%. That was nothing more than a training session for them, with the exception of Will Hatfield every other player in that team can just get out of the club alongside that clown of a manager.

Totally embarrassing, nothing else to say.

What the hell is Gowling laughing at? It’s his team that is showing no backbone whatsoever. Why make a sub literally 30 seconds from half time. He should not be laughing, the guy so winds me up!!! Totally agree, no fight, no shape,too lightweight, and the goal difference taking an absolute hammerin...

This is painful to watch, far too lightweight in midfield, nothing from Rivers,Ngundu or Lindlay.Men against boys .

I would be happy with Hazel, Nelson and Asante.

Would be crazy letting him go without a replacement that's at least as good, but good strikers at our level are like gold dust.Wouldn't sy no to Mark Beck mind !

Still playing Hedley at LB and Sukar not even on the bench.Something not right here and I think questions need to be asked.

I disagree loan-star, more patience is needed. He's come in to a really hard job, he's been here about 6 weeks and tomorrow (I think) is his 8th league game. And I stand by my viewpoint. He’s a disaster happening before our eyes. His track record says that he’s not good enough. The evidence we have...

Best option imo is Hazell and Nelson up front with Salkeld playing wide right and Nkondu wide left, Platt and Hatfield CM and Rowe/Griffiths,Lawlor,Burton and Sukar at the back. No brainer for me. Sent from my SM-A145R using Tapatalk Playing Hazel and Nelson up front will get us relegated. Worth tr...

If Hazel needs a high quality target man to play alongside him, as people keep suggesting, and given that we are very unlikely to find such a player at this stage of the season, then sticking with Hazel up front seems a guarantee of relegation. In fact, if we stick with Hazel/Salkeld/Nelson up fron...

Gowling's interview makes it sound like we had their goal under siege. Being one of the Darlo fans present last night, believe me, it wasn't.

This guy just really winds me up, I honestly think he is clueless!! Do we go 0-2 down and brings Nelson on. Great 2 up front. No. Still playing this kind of 4231 system with a lone striker and no width whatsoever. He has our new right wing back playing left back? He has hazel playing a kind of righ...

My how we need a centre forward!! Played decent for most of half but no cutting edge as usual and we concede the obligatory goal from a poorly defended cross. Hedley done for pace and not a centre half or goalkeeper in sight. We really have to be beating these teams, they are utter rubbish but beat...

Lawlor is out with a back injury so Lees takes his place, other than that an unchanged line up. Rivers added to the bench. Liddle, Curry and Windass injured. Strange that the left back loanee Winfield isn't in the squad either. No mention of Sukar, Mustoe in the official site match preview, everyon...

So Gowling ditches the 3 centre halves and brings back Armstrong’s signings and we get a result. The only signings Gowling has made that look anything decent were in the squad yesterday. Mind you I’d have had Nelson on ahead of Simms who looks out of his depth and should really have got two goals a...

Tommy Taylor - Almost 100+ appearances at this level. Best permanent goalkeeper we have had since Bartlett. Ben Hedley - 100+ appearances at NLN level. Very dependable, good distribution & can play RB & LB. Toby Lees - 100+ appearances at NLN level. Blyth Fans' Player of the Year. Jassem Sukar - So...

Playing devil's advocate here. In his interview I believe he had analysed Darlington games, maybe even watched them, and has concluded that a number of players, who have played appallingly since February, are not good enough, regardless of seniority or not, so feels the squad needs big changes Some...

Tommy has to be back in surely rather than wasting more time and money bringing in another loanee.Other positions are more important,

Does the next manager get 6 games if we don't improve under him immediately? We becoming a club ran by the lynch mob? Fucking exactly. Lately, this forum has become joke. What a great fanbase we have. 97 pontificating like some wise old sage because he’s subscribed to a monthly football stats packa...

It has the potential to become very messy as Taylor, Lees, Sukar & Nelson have all been offered to other clubs. Rivers apparently also said he was 'out-of'-favour' on Saturday. JG also wanted rid of Hazel, and I'm not convinced he sees Hedley as the answer after dropping him after two decent perfor...

GET THAT CLOWN OUT OF THIS CLUB! Beat me to it This is abysmal. Utterly abysmal. Tactics - awful Man management - awful Signings - awful This appointment was so obviously wrong from the minute it was announced. You could see instantly it was doomed to failure. DJ has done a lot of good for this clu...

2 down....get rid of this clown for gods sake.

Far too many incomings for my liking. Getting 09/10 vibes from this season so far. Another kid who has had very little football experience. This isn’t going to get us out of this hole. Gowling is taking a massive gamble with all these short term loans and allowing some decent,experienced, contracte...
