Darlo Uncovered

The fact we have signed an undercooked striker, yes with some kind of ability, and seems like everyone is pinning hopes on him. Isn't it more of a worry that we don't have the personnel to create the chances consistently? Yes, possibly an upgrade on Hazel but no guarantees he will bail us out on hi...

By the way a useful informative update frm the Physio. Club need to keep this information up to date now.

So where’s Mustoe?

Well one thing is certain he is clearly NOT injured as many of us suspected.

You obviously believe him. I and others do not let's leave it there.

None of these signings have been good, but the mustoe revisionism is a bit baffling. My point is, that even Mustoe who is nowhere to be seen for reasons unknown to us, is a better option than Whinfield. Which just makes this loan signing even more baffling.

Agreed, Lindley looks decent. Ngandu looks ok too in flashes, a bit of a poor man’s Jack Lambert. The rest of his signings, reserving judgment on Asante, have been poor. Rowe on the bench and not coming on....Griffiths is a better option.Whinfield on the bench and not coming on....Hedley,Sukar or M...

Lindley is a good player who has improved our side. He was very good yesterday Agreed, Lindley looks decent. Ngandu looks ok too in flashes, a bit of a poor man’s Jack Lambert.

I thought Mustoe was non-contract? Not sure why I had that impression mind. Wrong when the signing was announced in May it said a one year contract! Ah fair enough must have confused him with someone else! Haha not sure if I am more surprised by the news - or that we actually announced it when a si...

I'm not trying to start another debate about communication but I can't see any mention of Jordan Mustoe for ages in match reviews. Has he left? He's not been in the bench even when we're short of players. The best behaviour topic is on the site twice too. Well, he's not injured as he's not on the i...

Does that mean he's had to leave his day job? Or he didn't have one in the first place?

Think he actually says when asked what appealed to him about Boston "Just the Opportunity to come in train through the day". So I guess you can do that if you have your own ground and possile Gym?

Just listened to his first interview on his non scoring debut the other night. Didn't say anything controversial about his time at Darlo. One of his main reasons for moving was training everyday, although it did make me smile a bit when he referred to Boston as a big Club!

Mustoe is injured according to Gowling

He's not on the injured list in the pre-match write up. Maybe Gowling needs to tell Ray!

1st 45mns we played really well, pressed & had a bit of luck when Warrington hit our bar. Defence held a high line very well & we scored a rare Rivers goal to round off an excellent move. 2nd half we had a chance to wrap it up if Moke had shot rather than passing. Gradually Warrington got on top & ...

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? By all accou...

The club could really help itself with communication. For a club like ours, the news that we are providing accommodation is a big plus. What's wrong with a news story on the website about this? Looking at other club website news, this is the sort of thing provided, particularly as DJ said that play...

Isn't the quality of the broadcast down to the hotel rather than the organisation that hired the room if the mics etc are dodgy?

Maybe this should be on the “truth” thread, but truth is that whenever I hear our manager in an interview I cannot stand the guy. His giggling and “ we’ve had a chat in there” comments are driving me mad. Surely that was an opportunity to accept a share of responsibility, thank the fans who travell...

Hit send too soon and am no good at maths. It is 36 plus current 14 isn't it so 50 points.

We have 28 games remaining don't we? So 14 wins equals 42 points, plus 14 equals 56 points.

You are correct so we are easily safe from relegation as Josh says. I will now go and resit my maths O Level!

Most people this season believe that 50pts will be enough to finish outside the bottom four and thereby avoid relegation.

Do most people think we will win half of our remaining matches?

My hearing is going a bit dodgy with old age but if I've heard Gowlings pre-match interview he refers to the fact that we "win one lose one at the moment" but if we carry on like that for the rest of season we will be safe. That would potentially give us 24 more points than we have at the moment plu...

Teams are not battered 8-0 from time-to-time, not even down to ten men. I'm not buying into this whole 'everything that could have gone wrong, did go wrong' mantra. Southampton managed to lose league games 9-0 twice in consecutive seasons and weren't relegated in either season. It happens. 2 season...

Apparently we put him through a full in depth medical, not normally something that happens at our level. He’s fully recovered from his hernia op and is in fantastic shape!

But not played since April........

Maybe he might just be the man to play alongside Hazel and get him firing again.

Oh no not that old chesnut again..................

Chesterfield Twitter confirms he has left the club after contract termination by mutual consent

Like his interview he seems to be up for this!

Really hope this works out, but our track record of signing "crocked players" is not impressive. Just being honest.

Cracking signing, lets hope we can creative enough chances for him etc

But does he need a big Centre Forward to play along side him...........................

I don’t doubt that Jacob Hazel has the ability to be an effective striker at NLN level. However, I am not so sure he still has the desire to do it for Darlington. The lack of energy and commitment he displayed when coming on as a sub on Saturday just looked like he didn’t want to be here. As others...
