Darlo Uncovered

I'm curious as to how exactly 30k will do anything to fill the holes in their finances? Seems a very unambitious target to say the least.

Orange is my choice, it's been a while since we have had that option of a change kit and we have had a green away shirt a couple of times in recent years.

Craig James and Shaun Raey.

Clarke Keltie

Just contributed to the cause. I'm a first time investor since boost the budget was incepted by the club, glad and grateful to be in a position to help towards the budget.

Have to say watching the match back in its entirety I'd forgotten in my opinion how even and edgy I thought the match was it was actually just as nerve shredding even knowing the eventual result! :o :lol: We were slight favourites on the day, but I think a combination of nerves and the humidity stif...

Bit of a while since I last posted and I hope all are well and staying safe wherever you are in the world. :) In my opinion BtB gives the club some sort of indication of support and funds, especially needed at this unpredictable moment in time. It will give us a much better foundation for when some ...

So there has been confirmation that the first case of this virus has reached Darlington and interestingly enough the last bit of information from the Northern Echo related to DFC and whether it will effect our matches. Whether or not the individual has any association with the club in an official ca...

A battling win by the sound of it and the type we need to win to keep the pressure on those above. Looking ahead, it is looking more and more likely that our playoff destiny will hinge on Gateshead away, which is effectively the 6 pointer, although the obvious cliché is we now have to treat the last...

So what are the rules on signing and playing players, is it clubs within a calendar year or is it reset at the end of the season? I assume we are ok signing him again on loan within the same season, even with his loan spell at Blyth? Don't want us falling foul of player ineligibility and I'm not sur...

Wasn't O'Neill on the bench for Boro tonight? ls it strange he was on the pitch pre-match for us on Saturday and then on their bench tonight, can't fathom what's going on with this situation at the moment?

Seems like you can't raise a point or have any kind of debate without having people call you out on it....modern society is all

A good point that halts the slide in form. Honestly, I would’ve taken a point before kick off, and a late equaliser is always nice. Haven’t seen any highlights yet, obviously, but nice to see Omar on the scoresheet. He’s been underused lately imo. Should we not have a bit more ambition than to be s...

Agree Holness should be in our starting line-up. There wasn't too much wrong with our midfield trio of Hatfield, Wheatley and Holness earlier in the season, was there? Except we had O'Neill up front. We haven't got anyone to fill that role now. Campbell needs a big lad up there to bring the best ou...

A point away at Hereford is a decent result. However, if you are being hypercritical it is probably 2 points dropped in the circumstances of chasing a playoff place. With results of teams around us you have to try and cash in on wins, draws get you nowhere when you are hunting down the top 7. I thin...

Looking at the fixtures to come, we have played a lot of the top teams away already and some of them twice meaning if we can keep the tempo and consistency against the lower teams, our run in is favourable. To play... 1. Kings Lynn (h) 4. Brackley (h) 5. Boston (a) 6. Alty (h) 8. Gateshead (a) 10. ...

Lets stop arguing. Surely we can agree the whole thing is tragic and if a crime has been committed the perpetrators should be dealt with as severely as possible. No question about that. I have edited my original post so as not to offend anyone else, however my original opinion and solutions still s...

News like this just sickens you, happening far too often and hope the scumbag who was responsible spends a long, long time in prison

RIP to the lad and hopefully they catch the b*stard(s) who committed this crime.

The significance of winning tonight is that it has bought us a 'free hit' at Chester, I think we now have a buffer to at least 7th even if we lose and accounting for other teams having games in hand... that is the important difference between winning games like tonight and drawing. We are playoff co...

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 ...
