Darlo Uncovered

Draw your 'difficult' away matches and win at home puts you in a strong position over a season. However, really draws get you nowhere and winning matches creates the big moves. I'd be going to Guiseley and Chester expecting to win, on current form and despite our defence it may be a case of winning ...

Good to see us climb into the top 7, it will be interesting to see how long we can remain in the playoffs considering that other clubs have games in hand, scoreboard pressure may play it's part. At the very least at the moment we are playing with confidence and belief that we can go and beat anyone ...

Would be strange if it was financial considering we have just brought Martin in on loan? Maybe a disagreement over direction of club? Shouldn't speculate so that's as far as I will go until something is confirmed.

Oh and well done King's Lynn, always good to see footballing sides triumph over these expensively assembled long ball teams.

Ah yes, you mean the ones that prioritise £££s on the playing squad but not on safely constructed perimeter fencing...

Not just the delivery of set-pieces but we haven't had enough players to target when throwing it into the box. We may have a bit more presence now with Reid and Martin, sometimes I think because of this we have been reluctant to go direct at times.

On another note, no mention of Gary Martin. Wonder if he'll be available for Gloucester.

Not eligible to play until 2nd January, so Gloucester City onwards although how he is going to get into the squad at the moment is another matter!

GK Russell DEF Gary Brown Galbraith Miller White MID Thompson Scott Syers Wheatley ST Purewal Armstrong Subs Dowson Styche Trotman Bridge-Wilkinson Jameson I've tried to keep this fair and primarily selected players who have at least played in 2 consecutive seasons (excluding substitutes). The subs...

The difference with Campbell now is that he isn't the only threat. Reid/Martin if he signs, are going to not only take the pressure off him but free him centrally to find the space to work these openings and with his finishing abilities he will score goals. We have seen this in the last two matches,...

I am starting to think that AA is beginning to show signs of the same frustrations he had at Blyth regarding budget constraints in his pursuit of a striker. Hopefully, we can get out of this rut sooner rather than later!

Tale of two halves, 2nd half sounded like one way traffic and exactly why we lack options and especially in the final third. Very disappointing!

I know that he has had a lot to do with bringing in Holness, Bascome and Donowa and also he has 'invested' money and time into the club. For this the club should be, and I'm sure they are, grateful for. However, it is for AA to manage the playing side of things and at the moment he has been doing a ...

When is the draw?

See my post above.

Altrincham seem to have a hoodoo over York City, knocked them out of the FA Cup and Trophy both times 1-0 away from home too. Also not many North East teams are left in it looking at the results from yesterday. So hopefully a lower league opposition at home and the draw is live on TalkSport2 at 1245...

The main thing the club and management need to do from this point is carry on the momentum. It was lost after the first season in the NLN and Gray's departure and stagnated during Wright's reign. A new manager in Armstrong who has a set way, a clearer tactical plan and the luck of a decent cup run (...

Although naturally I want us to win on Wednesday I hope we also take Saturdays game against Gainsborough trinity just has seriously after all we have an outside chance of winning the fa trophy we have no chance of winning the fa cup. Plus the prize money on offer, although not as rewarding, can sti...

I see you've rubbed someone up the wrong way over on their board, namely geordiesaddler. Trying to explain our demise and resurrection is clearly beyond some people from other clubs, surprisingly a large number from this neck of the woods!

Reading their message board they really are not looking forward to the replay, nor fancy the trip up. So it's imperative we make Blackwell as intimidating as we can, which has been a task in it's self for most of the time we have played there. So long as they continue with their poor form we have a ...

Looking at the results from yesterday we were the only team that came close to pulling off a shock in the cup. Dependent on results today I fully expect us to be the televised replay, not sure which show them bbc or bt. Now to sell out Blackwell Meadows, when do the tickets go on sale? Stourbridge ...

Ball number 21 on Monday... here's hoping for an extra incentive to win the replay!

Hard fought win tonight. We missed a couple of chances before we scored. I’ve no idea how the goal was allowed because although their defenders head was slightly down, O’Neills foot was high and he kicked him in the nose which resulted in him being substituted. Bit of luck for once for us, but I wo...

Currently losing 2-0 at Oldham, may have a new manager by the time we play them...

One further thought, however, is that being as this hasn't got such a big game feel may help with being able to refocus the team's attention back to improving our league position. You often see a team, finding that they are getting too caught up in the glories of the cup, end up losing their league...

I don't know, I think this has 'giant killing' potential. They've not been pulling up any trees in League 2 and we can go there as underdogs with nothing to lose. It's a shame we've been drawn away from home yet again, but we have decent away form - let's go there and make it 4 from 4! Lol :thumbup:

Wow, all these wild and wonderful scenarios, accompanied by the odd negativity! Some things never change, but hey come on let's enjoy the fact we have made it to the 1ST ROUND for the first time in 9 years and just see what the draw brings 7pm tomorrow on BBC2. For the record I would love to have an...

Tamworth lost today against Biggleswade 2-1 and play AFC Rushden & Diamonds on Tuesday. Cup burnout?

Not too sure I fancy the Tamworth draw as they seemed pretty decent against Hereford tonight, in fact I'd have fancied our chances more vs Hereford. Tamworth seem like a team and with confidence a level below us.

S**t and s**t...

Any home tie, preferably against lower opposition but at least home advantage if we are drawn against similar or higher ranked teams.

Bolton, Coventry, Portsmouth all big clubs at Rnd 1....IF we can do it!

Belper Town at home would be ideal, but then no opposition should be taken lightly especially in one-off cup matches. We'll probably end up with Stockport, Brackley or York away...
