Re: Darlington V Chorley

I wonder if Asante comes into the reckoning for this match.

Maybe a place on the bench.

Re: Rushall v Darlington

The young lad Maher was made to look a genius by our defence.

Griffiths got nowhere near him all game.

He was allowed to run at the defence and shoot at will.

A really bad day at the office for Darlo and surprisingly the whole team particularly the defence looked lacklustre.

Re: Rushall v Darlington

Outplayed in every area of today's match.

Very few Darlo players can say they had a decent game.

The most annoying thing was how we were second best in all areas, slow, lethargic and off the pace.

I hope this was just a blip and is a wake up call to anyone who thought we were safe.

Re: Blyth V Darlington

Great strike by Cornish.

I thought the way he controlled the ball on his chest and set himself up for the shot was superb.

Hopefully SW and TM will keep the lads focussed as still a lot of games to go.

Particularly when the opposition keeper is playing on one leg. Don't think I've ever seen a keeper having to carry on when they are as hampered as that by injury. He looked to be in agony.

Re: Curzon V Darlington

I'll bet the owners of Curzon Ashton sometimes feel like they're pushing a large boulder uphill in terms of attendances. Last Tuesday's home game with Peterborough Sports attracted just 149 people. Must be a bit demoralising when they compete very well at this level. The ground's excellent (althoug...

Re: Darlington v Alfreton 10/02/24

We talk about the 3 managers at great length, but the players have to be largely held responsible for this season.

How many of them can honestly say they have been good enough this season.

So much experience in the squad, yet woeful performance after performance.

Just got home from the match. Darlington tried hard, but were awful against a very poor side. Not a single player out there for Darlo who can say they had a decent match.

He's not been himself this season.

He's looked jaded, looked below-par and at times has struggled.

If Asante does well, he could be an upgrade on Hazel.
