Re: Darlington v Hereford Saturday 9th October 2021

Enjoyed Saturdays result and and despite Hereford on top for most of the second half we managed the game out, something AA has asked for. Charman had a a couple of further chances to score but didn't quite get the touch he required. Cassidy won everything in the air but not sure the plan because nei...

Re: Marske away in the Cup (if we beat Chester)

I think looking at records over the last season or two has probably been rendered meaningless because of the circumstances. The disruption caused last season where games were played in empty stadiums and we had played hardly any games compared to others made it a pointless exercise looking at our r...

Re: Darlington V Telford

Good result but Telford were poor but still managed to hit the post and bar and Taylor made a great save in the dying seconds so could have been 3-3, one swallow doesn't make a summer and need to beat Hereford before I start thinking of moving into top half of table.

Re: Blyth v Darlo

Having watched the highlights, again you can't be happy at the goals we conceded. The first I'm not really sure what Purver is doing or what his role is, he either has to be taking responsibility for trying to block the cross as the first man or drop back further and get infront of O'Donnell with G...

Re: Darlo v Bradford PA

The alarming bit in AA's interview was when he said: "We went into training on Thursday looking to change it but we didn't get the right attitude from certain players so we didn't change it." That doesn't sound good at all. It doesn't give the impression of harmony. That was the impression I got bu...

Re: Curzon 31.08

I think we all knew this squad was weaker than last season. We lost quality in the likes of Campbell and Sousa. We seem to have brought in poorer players in all areas. I am going to posit that our defensive problems are only partly down to difficulties in finding the right players though, part of t...

Re: Experienced centre half’s.

Are we expecting that Beeden / Storey will be behind another CB in the pecking order? I think we are looking at that, yes. Without panicking too much over pre-season, some of the goals & chances conceded have been all too easy, just like last season and the season before. Whilst pre-season is predo...
