Darlo Uncovered

I don't think many people actually care about the ins-&-out's but it's quite clear that there's been more to this than just a player suffering a short-term injury. Yes, the main thing to it was that he was a 32 year old oddball AA signing and he was just ordinary for us. Nothing more to it than tha...

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...

Who?

Really disappointing to concede so late in a game we should have won. But that's what bad teams do - don't win games they should. Taylor should have done better for the goal - a poor bit of goalkeeping. We're in real danger of getting cut adrift. I'm hopeful we can pick up a decent points total ove...

Personally, I think he needed to go. His form only came when he was partnered with Beck up front, apart from that he was bang average. His link up play was terrible. We move on.....with a striker that's suspended and one that isn't fit.....

So all these loan signings, ins and outs and it looks like we will be relying on the core of players that got us into this mess into the first place tonight. Given all of the contacts JG has (allegedly) I was expecting us to push the boat out over the weekend and go again, but alas nothing. I have n...

For the best

I'm sure I can remember after a particularly bad display at Feethams, David Hodgson put the entire team on the transfer list! He said something like "if any team wants any of these players give me a ring" :o This needs to be done, they are all a shower Rip it up and start again. I take it no player...

I completely agree with the Board deciding not to allowing beer to be drank on the terraces, unfortunately we have a minority who can't handle their beer. Who would be left to deal with any issues from excessive drink....it would be the stewards on a few quid an hour or the volunteers. We also have ...

let this misery end....please

Worst defeat in 37 years and nothing from the club...nothing. There was a post match interview with our manager in which he apologised to supporters. What else are we meant to do? If you’re after more communication there’s a fans forum in 48 hours. The worst Darlington result since 1987, that’s som...

Worst defeat in 37 years and nothing from the club...nothing.

I'm only guessing but I don't think it will cost a lot to get rid of JG - I think he will be on a monthly contract as we are still paying for AA - which is one of the reasons why he was given the job in the first place - it was his opportunity to impress while we pay the remainder of AA's contract. ...

Pinning our hopes on a striker that’s not played since April is not good. For me the squad and team is fractured they are not playing for each other. There is zero team spirit and without that you can talk all you want about tactics but if there is no fight then you will achieve nothing. We knew the...

Sounds like we started the game very poorly even before the red we conceded, why did we not start off on the front foot. What is wrong with these players?

No backbone, absolutely shocking - can't blame the manager for a lack of fight

For me Nelson should be the next out the door, he's never shown any kind of form with us since he has been back. I know its harsh, but we have got to think of the club and survival.

I've just listened to the JG interview and he sounds like a beaten man. Lets face it, it's been an awful start to his reign, he's not been able to turn it around. We desperately need a new striker, and nothing has happened this week which is deeply frustrating. A few weeks ago there was talk of a mi...

Under Tommy Wright's reign we flirted with relegation a little bit but I thought we had the players to get us enough points. Guys, the reality is, we have one foot in the next division already. I cannot see us getting out of this. We do not have goals in our team, midfield and attack. We need to hav...

Just listening to Gowling's interview - looks like Tommy Taylor is back in goal for us at the weekend.

It has the potential to become very messy as Taylor, Lees, Sukar & Nelson have all been offered to other clubs. Surely he has to back himself to improve the players we have. He hasn't even tried. Personally, I think it is too late with some of the players, some of the players will have the hump wit...

Or have we gone with the only appointment we can afford?? Given that we are still paying AA wages - maybe DJ went with the most cost effective option.

I’ve always tried to not to knee jerk and have always backed DJ. But this is appalling. When AA did leave (and he had to go- we can debate when he should have another time) fan morale was rock bottom. Well if anything it’s even lower now. I know this is Football and fortunes can change quite quickl...

DJ said he thought about letting Alun go in the summer, clearly that would have been the right decision. If he had doubts over Alun it was clear it was time up for Alun, but he let him spend the BTB money. From then it’s been a complete disaster. I think Gowling will be on a monthly rolling contract...

Burton and Lawler look a good partnership - Burton looks like he has plenty of pace which has been missing from our defenders. Clearly Blyth were the better footballing side however they offered very little up front just like us. We are in desperate need of a striker that's either big and strong or ...

A new manager coming in wants to do it his way, a think a lot of the current squad are heading for the exit door - 3 wins in 28 tells me that ain't a bad thing.

Having been late to listen to this - I have a few questions - which have emerged from the board update: - Who are these mystery investors? One seems to be credible - at what point do the fans get to know about it - I appreciate most of them are time wasters. - How long is Gowling's contract? - for m...

The goal we conceded after 14 seconds against Kings Lynn was down Hannah's side - clearly he was culpable for that one. I expect reinforcements this week. Like everyone has said the goalkeeping situation wasn't too much of a concern, we need another defender, a striker and a midfielder to help Hatfi...

I have lost count of how many times I have worked with people over the years who have had a good CV (OK Gowling's CV would not be great - granted), can talk the talk at the interview but when it came to the job did not perform. I would hope DJ is experienced enough to see through it. However, for me...

Gone to Peterborough Sports - no surprises there. One in one out.
