Darlo Uncovered

I think we’re 1 or 2 players away from having a pretty decent squad here, hopefully holness sign on and I was impressed by that Donawa and also Bascombe but would like to see more of them before making any proper judgements Would like to see another striker sign too as we’ve only really got Campbell...

I reckon Hopson will happen personally, maybe a couple of the Gateshead lads too (Olley & Tinkler) if they don’t get offers of FT football. As for a striker I’ve got no clue who we could go for

An exciting forward and proven goal scorer announced today/tomorrow.

Where have you heard this?

Sunderland have released Max Stryjek and Luke Molynuex wonder if they could be potential players we could look at

We’ve made a very good start to the window bringing in Liddle, Laing, Rivers, Atkinson and Holmes, but was just wondering if anyone had heard about any other potential signings, I know after the fans forum that Big Al seems quietly confident on Maguire and Jameson Which would be belters of signings ...

So Laing, Rivers and Atkinson seem to be done.

We need at least 2 strikers, a winger, A GK, a CM and possibly another defender too

Who would we like then folks?

I’m probably getting a bit carried away but with speculation from those who appear ‘in the know’ we could have a side similar to this - Hemming Trotman Laing Galbraith Liddle Atkinson Wheatley Rivers Nicholson Thompson Maguire(maybe dreaming on that one) Looks decent enough to me - although perhaps...

How about some of the Gateshead players? White, Tinkler, Olley or Rigg would surely be good shouts. Boyes I would highly doubt from Spennymoor, but he’s local. Maguire would be outstanding but I reckon he’s off to Shields. Totally forgot about the Gateshead lads! Would be delighted with any of thos...

So Laing, Rivers and Atkinson are pretty much sealed deals for us then, with Michael Liddle close as well. Really happy with Rivers and Atkinson. Laing was poor for Hartlepool looking at what their fans have said about him but was reasonably decent for Blyth I believe... so I’m willing to give him a...

5 deals for players nearly concluded apparently, wonder who it could be?? Rivers Jameson and Atkinson seem really likely wonder who the other 2 could be

Fair enough regarding Maguire, just hope that the BTB and maybe a chat with big Al could MAYBE sway him (I know I’m clutching at straws here but let me dream folks).
Wonder if Luke Armstrong could be a potential player to have on loan?

Maguire, Buddle, Rivers, Jameson I think will be definite targets, would like us to go for Willoughby from FC United, maybe tempt couple of lads from South Shields like Briggs and Foley for example too I think Rivers, Jameson and potentially Buddle are realistic targets but we'd struggle to finance...

Maguire, Buddle, Rivers, Jameson I think will be definite targets, would like us to go for Willoughby from FC United, maybe tempt couple of lads from South Shields like Briggs and Foley for example too

Woods is meant to be pretty decent as is Knowles who became a big player for them when they got promoted last season

My 11: Aspin Bower Armstrong Swailes McGurk Woman (sorry, no idea) Ben Clark Alan White Matthew Bates Thirlwell Bogie or Atkinson Probably way off the mark :D Mine is Ben Clark Alun Armstrong John Flanagan Darren Kelly/David Mcgurk Paul Thirlwell Neil Aspin Lee Clark Gary Mills Female Applicant (Ho...

Howay then folks who do we think has applied then? And who would you like to get the job?

I think that Ben Clark is gonna be our next manager personally

Mellish, Olley, Rigg, Tinkler and White would be very good at this level, so hopefully we can maybe snag 1 or 2 of them

Clark sacked from Gateshead.... Him and Ian Watson as manager and Assistant manager and bring Mike Williamson in to run the academy with AW

Nicholson for me personally, our top scorer, probably got the most assists too, I believe he’s someone who we can get a lot of money for in the future if we build a team around him.
Got no issues if Trotman or Thompson get the award as they have been excellent too

With all names listed so far the ones I would like most are: Ben Clark- Did a good job with Gateshead especially under those circumstances and got the team to show a real togetherness, which I think was something that was missing from TW’s reign. I imagine that he could come to us too considering Ga...

Long shot could be Matt Jansen former Chorley Manager. I think he’s with Blackburn’s academy at the Moment but it could be worth at least enquiring. Others have mentioned Neil Aspin too...

I wonder who else we interviewed when the Job post was originally there after Gray left

Nicholson against BPA for me, gets the ball on the halfway line and goest 20-25 yards with it and then just curls it in top bins.

Absolutely no complaints if Thompson’s against Kiiderminister wins mind as that was a belter too

Favourite Game was Kidderminster at Home, Many thought without Nelson that we would struggle but I felt like that was our most complete performance of the whole season. York at home obviously was a brilliant game too. Season grade for me is an E, we are consistently inconsistent with the good perfor...

If we do say goodbye to TW then regarding things on the pitch we should be at least enquiring about his services, also with the likes of Maguire and Jameson out of contract maybe he could tempt them to come along too (imagine a front 3 of Thompson, Maguire and Nicholson). Off the pitch he does seem ...

I wouldn’t touch Armstrong with a barge pole. Last thing we need is a manager who whinges about budgets. Surely Blyths budget for this season was less than ours in the first place? So assuming they cut their budget next season like us we’ll still have more than them. Also if it was him there would ...

For me it’s time for him to go, he’s shown now that over his reign that he is at best a lower mid table manager with us and just in this division regardless, his summer recruitment was poor (apart from Nicholson and Elliott) which in all honesty surprised me as before then he pretty much got them al...

I think most of us are in the same boat of that TW needs to go so I thought I would put this thread on for people to put forward names of who they would like as a replacement. Names I’ve thought of include: John Flanagan- Done a great job at Curzon on a lot less than what we've got and plays a nice ...

It will be interesting to see the line up that TW decides on for Saturdays game. Probably a reshuffle in the back 4 and definitely one in the midfield. I think we should still go for 4 4 2, Hughes needs a run of games, this is his chance. Maddison, Trotman Burn Galbraith O'Hanlon, Thompson Hughes E...

Think you’re right Andy, appears to have followed Darlo on Twitter, so it’s looking good for us!

Anyone heard anymore regarding Elliott? Looked pretty decent in the legends game imo and would be a very useful player for us.
