Re: Darlington V Southport

We have to keep winning our own games to make sure we're safe, to many scenarios to guess. Just win and it doesn't matter what others do. The team are working for eachother to secure our NLN PLACE. . I've been saying for about the last 10 matches that all we need to do is keep winning and forget th...

Re: Darlington V Southport

Wish Rushall would just F off. Ridiculous the run we have put together and it’s still all to play for. Win next week and I hope we can breathe easier. Would’ve preferred Blyth or Farsley stop up. Obviously not at our expense, worried about that first and foremost. You hope we can breathe easier? Co...

Re: Darlington V Southport

Have any of SW 4 signings had a bad game yet.!.? Difficult to say who has had most impact but all 4 were excellent again today. If I had to choose one I reckon it would be Young, just ahead of Main. The confidence a 17 yr old has given a mainly 30 yr old+ defence is unbelievable really. Another ner...

Re: York city

I hope they don't come down. It's just another "bigger than us" club coming down and making the league harder, and if they come down they may re-evaluate the players they want to keep. It might scupper our chances of signing Scott Barrow for next season as he can clearly still do a grand job at this...

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 h...

Southport’s recent away from is impressive, 4 wins and a draw from their last 5 away games.
Now I'm extra nervous.

Mind you, we've won 4 of our last 5 home games.

It's 3 matches left and I doubt we'll see him at all. Even after about 6 weeks of his "mini pre-season" the bloke could barely run, then got injured again. So we are are about 2 weeks into full training for him after that injury? So he'll be at the barely can run stage now. Why is he going to get in...

Re: Aidan Rutledge

I thought he had a decent match overall. In the first half he broke into the box and had a shot/cross which Salkeld couldn't turn in. He put himself about a bit, maybe looks a little bit raw, but was in the right place to score our first. For over half of the season we never had anyone in the right ...

Re: Easter Monday at Warrington Town

Watson's record is 10-0-9, not a single draw!

But crucially a +50% win ratio. I couldn't have dreamed he'd win 10 from 19 at the point when he joined.

Re: Easter Monday at Warrington Town

I watched on the stream and that was a well deserved win.

It's in our hands. Win the next 2 home games and that takes us to 55 points. No one ever goes down with 55 points so we'll be safe. Southport of course won't be easy, a bit of a bogey side for us.

Not only was he allowed to do it, but (allegedly) Asante is on a two-year contract, yet he has only played 18% of all available minutes since he signed and he is one of our highest-paid players since becoming fan-owned. I strongly disagree with the term "played". I can hardly remember that far back...

Re: Darlington V Chorley

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. Lads. It's "Clowning"...

Re: Complacency

I never saw that one coming. They wanted it desperately and we didn't turn up.

Both of our full backs got tortured and we were lucky that their number 9 couldn't hit a barn door otherwise it could have been 5, 6 or 7.

What else can you say after that?
