Re: Darlington V Peterborough Sports

Me personally I would go full strength at Rushall and hopefully get the win which realistically barring a complete capitulation would see us pretty much safe. Then I'd be giving a day off to the likes of Barrow, Main, Cornish in the Chorley game. Are you stupid? The lads are being ran into the grou...

Re: Latest year end accounts

Just read a really good summary and breakdown of the last set of accounts recently published. Half understand it now and was very informative. Not a moan, honest. Just genuinely do not understand which roles makes up this figure of £185k on “ Management Staff wages” . Seems like a massive figure fo...

What’s happened at Scarborough?

In their last ten games - no wins, 3 points, and they’ve scored 1 goal. :o
I don't know what's happened at Scarborough because their gobshite fans have gone quiet.

They were all over our Twitter feed giving it rock all, now...silence.

Re: We’ve come along way.

I agree Clearly a massive error giving the job to Gowling. I hope the board have reflected on the decision making process that allowed such a bad mistake to be made. However, credit to them for correcting the mistake - and it looks like they did so just in time. I seem to remember there was a schoo...

Re: We’ve come along way.

To be fair 97 is correct. The appointment of JG was questioned right back when the decision to employ him was made. I was another not totally sure it would work out and when weighing up the credentials it smacked of a desperate punt on something different (JG) rather than the tried and tested (SW)....

Next week reminds me of our game v Colchester in 89. Not win or bust, but certainly not lose. I say that because Bishops Stortford is one of their games in hand. 89 was roles reversed, as we were on an OK run, but Colchester was on a great run, and we crumbled under the pressure of the occasion.

Re: 2022/23 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Yes.

After he tried to bring Radged back because he wanted more money, we ended up doing the first BTB off the back of that. We raised around 43k IIRC.

Gray left for York not far into that first BTB season.

Re: Blyth V Darlington

I know Nelson hasn't scored very many this season but he's a far superior player to Curry and we look a lot more threatening with Nelson in the team. Cornish is doing very well again tonight but Salkeld has vanished after a good first 10 minutes.

Blyth playing good football but Matty Young is levels above this league and so assured.

Great distribution as well...

Re: Needed points minimum

As I've said before, I expect us to stay up comfortably with room to spare - ie done before the last day, and losing at Spendy doesn't change that. We were never going to win every single match until the end of the season. Obviously mounting injuries are a concern, so we could probably do with a cou...

Re: Needed points minimum

Blyth, Rushall, Farsley and Southport matches are the definitive six-pointers. However, after the performances and results of the last 4 games prior to yesterday, I'd not rule out picking up points at home to Peterborough Sports and even Chorley. Warrington away will be difficult and ideally we don...

We'd still be 5 from 7 with 3 winnable matches coming up, and at least we're creating plenty of chances. I'll mor...

7 points from 3 would set us up very nicely for Rushall away.

Follow that up with another point at Spendy, then beat Blyth (who are shite) and Peterborough Sports (is that a sports shop or something?) and that'd be a nice haul.

I daren't even dream about beating Scunthorpe.
