Re: Ilkeston v Darlo Match Thread
Yep, not sure what he was thinking there, looks like an poor use of resources. We look a bit chaotic at the moment, starting with a centre half up front, changing to a centre half at right back, and putting a centre midfielder up front.quakerste wrote:I can't understand Gray's thinking at present bringing in two wide midfielders who are struggling to get into the team.

Re: Ilkeston v Darlo Match Thread
Hopefully or rather presumably there's a lot more to whats going on selection-wise than meets the eye. Real football management isn't as simple as it is on championship manager. We don't see what happens in training. And we don't know if MG cannot sign better players than what we currently have etc etc

I'm sure these questions will be put to him at the post match interview.

Re: Ilkeston v Darlo Match Thread
Agreed, if he can't find a good full back or striker then fair enough. Its bringing in more wide players when we clearly don't need wide players that seems like a waste of money.Comfortably_numb wrote:Hopefully or rather presumably there's a lot more to whats going on selection-wise than meets the eye.

Brobbel played for Birmingham town last week apparently so he may be gone already

It's never as simple as that.
First you have to find somebody who is better than we already have (otherwise it's pointless)
Then they have to be prepared to play for us, if perhaps they're used to playing higher.
Then they have to be available at a price we can afford.
We have to work within a budget.

Alun's promise to the fans: “I’ll make sure I’ll bring players in that are value for money and I want players that want to play for Darlington Football Club, want to progress and move up the league and show the fans that passion.”
Re: Ilkeston v Darlo Match Thread
I saw a news story earlier that was quite interesting. Andrew Cartwright has been called up to the England C squad. Now I can't work out if;Quakerz wrote:Does anyone REALLY think that Gray is "ignoring" that we need a right back and a striker?quakerste wrote:I can't understand Gray's thinking at present bringing in two wide midfielders who are struggling to get into the team.

A) He is actually one of the best right backs available at our level and we didn't give him a chance
B) It shows why we are struggling to get one to Gray's standards if he is one of the best out there
C) England C are missing a right back for training matches and they are training somewhere near Sunderland
All in all...can we not just get Griffiths off Spenny and be done with it!?

Re: Ilkeston v Darlo Match Thread
@CStoddartEcho: Darlington now 4-4-1. Cartman on his own up front, Mitchell right-back, Portas right-midfield.
Re: Ilkeston v Darlo Match Thread
I think you would have to be happy with a point now. Always going to be hard with 10
Re: Ilkeston v Darlo Match Thread
If memory serves me correctly, Chris Hunter played mainly right back for Shildon and he was brought in as a right back actually, to replace Harrison.Yarblockos wrote:Yep, not sure what he was thinking there, looks like an poor use of resources.

Feel free to shoot me down if I'm wrong.
Aaaaand...he's off.
Fucksticks.

As an aside, Hyde are winning 5-0 atm
Re: Ilkeston v Darlo Match Thread
Precisely. I'm sure if someone who could do the job was readily available, Gray wouldn't be resorting to White or Portas up front.Quakerz wrote:Does anyone REALLY think that Gray is "ignoring" that we need a right back and a striker?quakerste wrote:I can't understand Gray's thinking at present bringing in two wide midfielders who are struggling to get into the team.

Quakerz - if you actually attended games and spoke to people you might actually find our facts, rather than spreading s*** on this board.

Re: Ilkeston v Darlo Match Thread
After all this square pegs in round holes if score stay`s the same we are top of the league
Re: Ilkeston v Darlo Match Thread
I don't think we gave Cartwright a fair crack last season, played okay at Harrogate. Liked to get forward and did what was needed at the back then played at Kendal where Brown got hauled off then never played for us again.
