Darlo Uncovered

Long trip back down to Oxfordshire this evening, and one that feels a bit must win based on our recent form. Get a win tonight and it takes a little bit of pressure off getting a result against Chester on Saturday. Banbury are in bad form having similarly been pilfered by full time clubs for a few o...

That really wasnt good enough. If anyone can explain our tactics to me today I'm all ears. Bobbly pitch but every time our back four had the ball pressure or not it was hoofed high towards Hazel and Nelson. Target man Blyth on the bench but the tactic seemed to be to play long to Hazel and Nelson al...

Not too bad a set of results for us last night with Chester losing and Brackley & Kings Lynn sharing a point. We really need to get our season back on track at the weekend. I would have said if we want to be fighting for 3rd, 4th, 5th we would have needed 10 points from 5 games. Vs Fylde, Hereford, ...

Article written by Stephen Cleeve the Kings Lynn owner gives some more details on distribution: (https://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/23249672.stephen-cleeve-putting-national-league-streaming-deals-scrutiny/) ' As I understand it, fans cannot stream matches at 3pm on a Saturday, although this is being look...

See our match Vs Bradford PA on Easter Monday has been selected for the trial:

Not sure if anyone has kept up with how the revenue from passes is being split up?

Not local to Darlo so can't comment on the chances the game has. The weather forecast makes it look a little bleak. But if we do go ahead, it feels like a really important game for our season. We need to put in a 90 minute performance and get back to winning ways. The players are more than capable, ...

Really really hope this works out for the lad and he can just enjoy playing football. Remember the emotion from him after his goal vs Blyth last season. Can only imagine how he felt when the injury took another season of his footballing career away. Everything thing crossed that he can keep fit and ...

Will be a tough game tomorrow. But one were certainly capable of winning. Will be interesting to see what we do formation wise. Unless a big 6'0+ CF comes in today I'd be tempted to go 4-3-3. Sukar gets the nod for me, but if he's still feeling unwell then could bring Brookwell in. Plenty of players...

Watching the highlights, we certainly deserved at least a point out of the game, if not maybe a little unlucky to get more. At least 2 good saves in there from their Keeper as well as the Hazel effort and freekick which both struck the post. Whilst at the other end Tommy was largely untroubled. You ...

Why are the full backs not on the posts when defending set pieces .They would/should have cleared both of them yesterday,or is that too old fashioned I wouldn't say its common to have full backs on the posts for deep freekicks. Takes offside out of the equation and let's them disrupt the goalkeeper...

Nothing particularly good to write about that. Baring a really excellent finish from Hazel an afternoon to well and truly forget. First half was really awful. Neither team had any quality. Ball spent most of its time in the air. We were happy to kick long down the throats of their CBs which Hazel wa...

Guessing it was James Spencer at Farsley who’s just joined Curzon.. Yeh pretty sure AA has voiced his admiration of him in the past and was obviously available, so very likely it was him. Would be interesting to know why he chose Curzon over us. Cannot believe they offered huge money more than us a...

Just watched highlights. Thought defence was very poor at the time yesterday but some of the defending and marking was worse than poor. Not a defender anywhere in sight for both disallowed goals, and think we may have got away with the first offside. The second one, from a fee kick, their forward g...

Anyway back to the original thread. AA mentioned having bids in for a couple of new players and hopefully some fresh faces in for Tuesday. Love a bit of transfer speculation, so does anyone have any thoughts on possible new signings. Both sensible and fanciful suggestions welcome. Couple names to t...

Only slight issue is Lambert is out of contract in the summer.. do we cash in or do we keep him with the hope of promotion and let him go for free in the summer? Way I see it. Lambert gives us a much better opportunity of making it to the play offs. Finish 5th or above and you get at least one home...

Remind me what became of Jorden Emery (is he back with us?) we list him as dual registered with Guisely from September but on their site he is not listed in their 31 man squad which includes 4 Goalkeepers!

He's now dual registered with Marske I believe.

Watched the goals highlights. There won't be many teams in this league who can live with our front 4 when they're on form like that. Lovely range of goals too. Beck beating his man at the back post for the 1st. Hazel running in behind the CB for the 2nd. Two close range finishes (being where you wan...

Totally get that we have to be financially secure, but also good management also look at the big picture . Top of league and an opportunity become available to strengthen with a proven player who wants to come and everyone agrees would be an asset. Doesn’t happy very often. Don’t buy the “ he wante...

Brilliant win for the lads last night. Shouldn't be forgotten that basically the same 11 have done away trips to Telford and Kidderminster in the last week, whilst Alfreton had Saturday off. I'm not surprised we faded second half a little, but as others have made the point, enough characters and qua...

Quick question . How many teams in this league, in those 23 spots below the Darlo, are full time set ups?

3 I believe; Kings Lynn, AFC Fylde and Kidderminster.

Chance to bounce back tonight from a fairly poor day away at Kings Lynn. Buxton have had a bit of a mixed start 12 points from 12 games, 9 scores, 15 conceded. Hopefully we can come out of the blocks quickly. For me, I still think we look better 4-3-3, I'd be tempted to bring in Leesley for a natura...

Looks like I may need to correct myself. I was relying on last season’s info and should have rechecked. Looks like you buy a standing ticket at the turnstiles; the club’s website doesn’t seem to let you buy them online For seats, the club requests you buy in advance. Sorry for any confusion. I am n...

There is one thing glaring in its omission in the following statement: "Blackwell Meadows currently meets the criteria National Ground Grading Category B, enabling the club to play in the National League North (Step 2). On reaching the Football League (League Two), the capacity must be increased to...

Who actually owns the land at BM? I was told it’s DBC, RC lease ends at the same time of our licence to play at BM. If we move I can’t see RC surviving long term. Checking on free information at Land Registry, some of land there is Freehold & some is Leasehold Can you expand on that please? Is the ...

Frustrating to have the injuries, but based on performances (albeit Dodds has only had one game at Hyde) I don't think it would really effect team selection based on form. As other have noted, not sure whether Moke has recovered from the Illness he posted about earlier in the week. If not, or not fu...

Hopefully a good performance tonight and another win. Interesting to see if the team changes tonight with the knocks we pick up at the weekend. I certainly would risk either of they're still feeling them. I'd be tempted to go for: ------------------------- Taylor ------------------------ Griffiths -...

Decent move for the lad. Only the division below and playing under a manager that we know was a decent CB in his time.

Wonder of we'll look to do something similar with Alfie Hughes? Give him a chance to get some game time and keep developing.

Just looked in on our weekends opponents and how they're getting on against Redditch in their FA cup replay. Currently leading 1-0, but Jordan Nicholson (yes the one that played for us under Tommy Wright) who is the leagues joint top scorer with Mark Beck has gone off injured and they've had a man s...

Am I the only one who thinks Hyde away is a decent draw, that 9 times out of 10 we should win. It could have been a lot worse. I'm sure there is an old cliche along the lines of 'It's only a good draw if you win'. But agreed it could have been much worse we've avoided the better funded sides like F...
