Darlo Uncovered

Maybe the interview was done before the signing was announced? They had hoped to get it done last week so there was obviously some issue with the signing.

The team are going down on the day for this one.
Staying over for Gloucester.

I think this whole discussion could be summed up as "relegation is not something we want to happen as it will probably create more challenges than opportunities but is an ordinary part of football experienced every year by about 15% of clubs and it doesn't have to be the end of the world". Oh, and ...

I have to admit I'm struggling with attending games these days, I go to home games out of habit and to see my mates who go there too. I've only done one away game all season, Farsley, even missing the big one at Scunny. I just cant be bothered with the chew on anymore. Our car school that used to do...

Cant believe that people think relegation may not be a bad thing.....
Yes it may ease the wage bill somewhat, theres less panic over ground gradings too. If that's considered a good point then lets just f**k off back to the northern league and it'll be even cheaper!

Well he seems to think differently. I doubt he would go public if it wasn’t the case

Did Hodgy actually say these things? I ask because they’re categorically untrue. Nobody turned us down either, Josh Gowling was first choice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk No he didn’t, that’s why I put it on here just for giggles. :crazy: That was sarcasm by the way in case you didn’t realise...

AA "Hard done by" what planet is Hodgy on?

Maybe he knows more than we know?

David Hodgson was guest speaker at Darlington Towns Xmas do. Says he was offered the managers job following AAs sacking but turned it down as he thought Alun was hard done by. Says that he wouldn’t say no if offered it again though but it does concern him how long he has been away from management an...

I don't hate Josh Gowling, and no, I don't need to lighten up. He speaks well, he's obviously willing to learn and he would probably make a good coach at youth-level. With that said, I do not rate the majority of his decisions with us. We're seeing regular patterns to his time at Hereford and I'm d...

Wtf is Gowling doing trying to creatively stretch the budget, why isn’t he throwing his toys out of the pram and giving self serving interviews about how stacked against him everything is like the last clown in charge ? Did Armstrong shag your wife? I’ve not seen a vendetta like this in years. If y...

Same people who happily ate horseshit and ask for seconds from Armstrong about not having a competitive budget refuse to believe a bland statement from current manager about injuries….but they have no anti Gowling agenda of course !

Talking of agendas, you’re the biggest bore on here.

Aside from the Kit Man and his assistant, I would expect all of those mentioned to attend training out of necessity. We have no idea who is being paid to do what, but I'd be shocked if we didn't have the Manager, Coaches and Physio attending when Armstrong (or anyone else) was in charge, and analys...

The fact we have signed an undercooked striker, yes with some kind of ability, and seems like everyone is pinning hopes on him. Isn't it more of a worry that we don't have the personnel to create the chances consistently? Yes, possibly an upgrade on Hazel but no guarantees he will bail us out on hi...

The same fans who had endless patience for armstrongs incompetence and excuses suddenly have none when it comes to getting a pedigree striker (who only joined due to Gowlings relationship with him) a few weeks to get fit

Like the very good wages have f**k all to do with it!

Whatever Asante is on it's a waste of scarce resources - he's being paid for cantering around for ten minutes or so, seeming to be quite unfit then it's the usual just wait and see we get from the club. They could tell us honestly when he's likely to be fit. What must the other players think of thi...

Rowe, Lindley & Ngandu will not be on peanuts in the grand scheme of things - they all were Midlands based upon signing and we are now paying for accommodation for out-of-area players. Hazel also did not want to leave prior to Gowling's arrival, and you also mention a lack-of-creativity when we sol...

What situations? You mean dropping poorly performing players? And trying to sell them? We’ve got to judge the manager on actual events not completely baseless rumours. Separate point, let’s look at Sukar, he was poor performing player, particular at Tamworth. He’s taken him out of the team, brought...

You obviously believe him. I and others do not let's leave it there. The Taylor and Sukar situations tell us that the manager says one thing but the grapevine (often coming from people who know) tells us something to the contrary. What situations? You mean dropping poorly performing players? And tr...

Strange how people in the know tell us Asante is definitely on £1000 a week but no-one knows what's going on with Mustoe? Do tell, please. All I know is that they are trying to move him on, along with other players who now find themselves back in the side. I’ve been told a figure we are paying Asan...

How many of these 9 were loans? Does it matter? It shows he really doesn’t have an eye for a decent player with the odd exception. We were warned by Hereford fans that we would see lots of coming and goings on the loan front, players making the odd appearance before disappearing again and it’s exac...

Perhaps a few people have stopped their direct debits, as fans financial circumstances do change and perhaps they can't afford it anymore. Or maybe some have stopped theirs in protest at the money being wasted by people who don’t have a clue? Armstrong isn’t at the club anymore so that would be poi...

Can anyone also say that any one of his what, 9 signings, are really any better than we already have, don’t think so, which just adds to his poor credentials. Lindley is a good player who has improved our side. He was very good yesterday Agreed, Lindley looks decent. Ngandu looks ok too in flashes,...
