Darlington V Gloucester
Re: Darlington V Gloucester
Difficult to see from the angle on the replay but Connell hesitated as he thought the defender was going to clear which they didn’t. Lack of communication.
Re: Darlington V Gloucester
Less a complaint, more an observation. The BM pitch is usually decent, but it wasn't on Saturday. It was difficult to pass a ball along the floor without it bobbling. It happens sometimes, particularly at this level, particularly at this time of year, and particularly on a pitch which also has rugby played on it.

The pitch was like a snooker table before about 40 players did a45 minute warm up on it .al_quaker wrote: ↑Mon Jan 06, 2020 4:41 pmLess a complaint, more an observation.

Yup, Elliott looks the safer pair of hands at the moment. Connell didn't put a foot wrong... until he signed on a long-term loan.H1987 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 06, 2020 4:00 pmMystified by complaints about the pitch to be honest. You won't find a much better one at this level. It looks in absolutely fine condition?!
It's a bit of an error by Connell for me, i'm a little bit confused by what he's actually doing for the goal. Weird how things can turn around for a player, for me, Chrissy Elliott has to start if he's fit.

That always seems to happens to players when they sign long term deals

Re: Darlington V Gloucester
Have you noticed that we seem to score a lot more goals at the open end, rather than the tinshed end?

Re: Darlington V Gloucester
That might be because we usually kick that way in the first half, and we of late tend to fade in the second half, maybe.Darlo_Pete wrote: ↑Mon Jan 06, 2020 8:59 pmHave you noticed that we seem to score a lot more goals at the open end, rather than the tinshed end?

Re: Darlington V Gloucester
Connell is cup tied for weds that's why he played Saturday and It was a typo as Elliott was never going to start

Well on his way (already) to being a Darlo legend. I just loved this bit of skill from Saturday, leaving two Gloucester players wondering where he'd gone https://youtu.be/Q0q0eL_7rK8?t=751

Re: Darlington V Gloucester
Thanks for backing up what I thought, that is a shocking return for kicking towards the tinshed.Darlo2807 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 09, 2020 12:48 pmBelieve we have only scored 6 goals at the Tin Shed end all season!Darlo_Pete wrote: ↑Mon Jan 06, 2020 8:59 pmHave you noticed that we seem to score a lot more goals at the open end, rather than the tinshed end?
