Re: Well how did we do that?

That for me has been transformed by new additions, Main in particular. Would SW been able to do the same with Felix & Hazel? I personally don’t believe so. You don't believe that SW would have been able to do anything with Hazel, who scored 20 goals a season every season, and 21 goals in his first ...

Re: Well how did we do that?

The talk about Main being better than Hazel is pointless. We sold Hazel to bring in Asante, and I hate to break it to you all but: Hazel > Asante. This was probably one of our worst pieces of transfer business since becoming fan-owned. Hazel should have been partnering Main upfront. Alas, we will ne...

Re: Once the dust settles...

We ate in to our cash reserves for the 21/22 & 22/23 seasons. I expect 23/24 to be no different given the turbulent nature of the season (sacking AA + DH, then JG & DR).  As of the end of the 22/23 season, we still retained healthy reserves. However, this is a trend which cannot continue in future s...

Re: Looks like they're staying...

With the exception of a few, these players were never poor, or any of the other derogatory remarks they were called mid-season. They were badly let down during the season by terrible management & recruitment. To be honest with you, when you were saying this isn't a bad squad of players in mid seaso...

Re: Looks like they're staying...

Yeh, Young won't be back. I'm sure a new GK will be a priority, and I'd hope that we have a good chance of securing Cornish and Barrow on contracts. If we can get those sorted early on, move out a few of the squad players/under-performers, then we should hopefully have a decent core of a side to fl...

Re: Darlington v Farsley 13/04/24

For years and years it seemed like whenever we had a big crowd and a must win match we used to wobble . Under Watson and Mitchell we have chalked up win after win after win at home. Utterly brilliant. Survival from where we were is an incredible achievement. Is that the case? Whitby away? Opening m...

Re: GOWLING OUT

Christ, this thread is a throwback to the time I got hammered for trying to let everyone know that Gowling was attempting to sell off some good players!

I wonder what would have happened if Gowling got his way and got rid of others that have contributed towards our turnaround.

Re: Darlington V Southport

There was something wrong with Southport. It was a big game for them too, yet they looked disinterested. I loved Young’s continual baiting of the same Southport forward 😁 making him run in to the far corner of the penalty box before he picked the ball up. It was pantomime like. They didn’t look dis...

Re: Massive credit to Watson and the board

It's not completely out of the realm of possibility: with us being part time, it may work with him spending half his time with us and half with Sunderland's youth team, especially with him being so young. It is beyond the realms of possibility. Sunderland won’t want a clearly talented goalkeeper wi...

Disappointed with Southport. I thought they’d offer more. I don’t even think it was a case of us managing & adapting to the conditions better, we were just the better footballing side.

Re: Darlington V Chorley

There seems to be a fair bit of whitewashing of Armstrong’s contribution to our malaise. Gowling was woeful, certainly, and made a bad situation worse. But he inherited a shitshow - 2023 under Armstrong was execrable, and he really shouldn’t have been kept on for this season. We are in this mess be...

It is based up on the BM balcony or is it based where the linesman is?
