Darlo Uncovered

It's a shame as I don't think he has been given a fair crack this time around, although the St Mirren stint may have had more of a negative effect on his ability than we thought.

As for freeing up funds for a striker, well it does refer to this in the article.

He only signed for them in june, strange one that Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk Signed by the now ex manager as his first signing who had coached him at Morecambe. New manager comes in wants to make changes, face doesn’t fit. Gateshead born so another local lad and by all accounts a leader d...

I have a lot of sympathy for Bury's plight. However, I'm not comfortable with this plan to just jump back into League 2 next season...

Horrible news for both clubs if the worst is confirmed. The only light to be taken from it is that in these situations the football club will go back to where it belongs the fans. They will have their chance to start again and build something positive in their communities. On a slightly different n...

What an absolute shame apparently they is a covenant on gigg lane though so hopefully they can rebuild the club free of false messiahs. It's a sad day for football that this has happened. I hope that in some way we can offer some guidance on how to approach restarting considering what our club has ...

Bury now have until 5pm tonight, according to the BBC. It looks like this could be it, the same as what happened to us. Well the deadline has passed and Bury await their fate. Wasn't this the same deadline for Bolton Wanderers and are we about to see two relatively high profile traditional clubs ce...

Went with my 4 year old son today for the first time since the Leamington game at the end of last season. You can't fault the effort but it seemed to me that we were very much ponderous and lacked any ideas to break down a very stubborn and disciplined Bradford PA side. We had a few half chances in ...

The thing is, regardless of whether we stay fan owned or have a wealthy owner, we will eventually find our level. Fan owned we are probably close to our level. With some luck we can probably rise another level and at an absolute push at some stage return to League 2 although probably only for a ver...

I know it's early in the season but just for a bit of continuous comparison, am I right in thinking that we have more points at this stage than at this point last year after 5 matches? After 5 games last season: P5 W1 D2 L2 F10 A12 Pts 5 After 5 games this season: P5 W2 D1 L2 F8 A7 Pts 7 Thanks Mik...

Great result. Maybe this time we will be able to follow it up at Altrincham next weekend. Good to see the goals starting to be shared around and after last Monday's defensive nightmares a clean sheet as well. A little disappointed with the attendance but I am hopeful of being able to get to a few mo...

I know it's early in the season but should we be a bit concerned about the goals conceded and the manner in which we have let them in???

Listened to the majority of the match. Pretty frustrating but good to get our first point and at least we are off the mark! Seemed defence still needs some work and maybe Laing could be the one to be taken out of the firing line maybe for Heaton. In attack it seemed that we worked the ball well just...

Seems like they played to the conditions on a pitch they are obviously going to be more use to and this is potentially going to a problem as pitches at this level are not going to be flat carpets suited to play an attractive passing game. Can't argue with the calibre of the players AA has brought in...

Well, now that AA has overhauled the squad and the preseason friendlies are over, this time next week we will be mulling over the result of the first competitive game of the 19/20 season. But what are everyone's expectations considering the changes to the squad, preseason performances etc.? Personal...

He’s currently on trial, I’m amazed given the amount of defenders we have including Burn! Would love him back at the club but not sure we can afford to have four centre backs. I've lost track of the CB's we have but if Galbraith is not included then he can possibly revert back to LB or midfield cov...

Official club twitter feed has announced that the friendly against Whitby on Tuesday 30th July has been cancelled. Just the Middlesbrough U23 match then it begins!

My worry this season, at the moment, is up front. Campbell wants to be a number 9 but isn't exactly tall and Thommo used as a number 10, again not the tallest. Both will and have been given the impression of first Xl starting slots and to me it feels a little like trying to shoe-horn them in. The sy...

Nicholson has ended up at Hereford, they will be worth a punt for a top 7 finish.

I don't really know why there is a sense of panic that we have gone quiet on the transfer front. It's close-season and clubs are on holiday, the next few days will start to see some movements again. Just got to be patient.

With Wright gone Nicholson was always likely to want to play back down south. A talented player but very lightweight for this league. Wonder if he ends up at Stratford. A bit disappointed to see him leave as he was one positive signing that had a bit of end product and a consistent contributor to w...

So what are the differences between what happened to us and Gateshead? We were heavily punished 7 years ago and forced to start from the Northern League, not even the Evostik Northern Premier, yet Gateshead have only been demoted the one division. Was it our previous history of administrations that ...

Best fans in the world.

I will second that, considering what the club and supporters have endured to varying degrees throughout the club's history!

In our last away game at Guisely, Ainge looked bored and out of sorts - he was just going through the motions, but not very well. In fact the situation that day reminded me of the final games of Andy Crosby back in 98, a good player who wanted away and quite simply couldn’t be arsed. True. However,...

I wouldn't write Ainge off just yet. His versatility is a plus point in what will be a smallish squad and I would think he will be given another chance up top with the signings that are being made. It may just be that with a more creative midfield and the right supply he may find the goalscoring for...

Interesting article with Armstrong in the Non-League Paper, talks about sustainability and how the north-east heart has been missing from the club recently with our recruitment, something which is important to him. Not wrong there in my opinion. At this level it is far safer to build the core aroun...

Has to be Darlington 3-2 Gateshead in the Trophy semi final!

Could this be classed as a bit of a shock result? We know that South Shields are similar to Spendy in financial clout, are Warrington still running off their cup run or do they have significant financial investment?

Turned it right around straight after half time, 2-1 now.
