Darlo Uncovered

Do you really think League 2 players would not add anything to our squad going from level 7 to level 6??? I know its a great squad we have at our level, but come on.

I dont think we should get over obsessed with the comings and goings at Gateshead. We've seen MG look at players from much further afield than the north east i.e. Carts & Gask from Halifax and Manchester.

We will acquire players on what they will give to the team rather than where they are based.

Would love a good cup run. Its the only thing that has been missed from the last few years.

We all know, too well, the nature of the beast. It is what it is though. Its a part of the English football landscape and wont change as harsh as it is. In a one match situation it is a little bit like when QPR beat Derby in the playoff final. Derby bossed the game from start to 89th and QPR scored ...

Longer season too. They are playing their last games this week.

We also need to consider any out goings. I am sure with the season we have had some of our players will be on other clubs radar. Gray has aways said he would not stand in anyones way to progress. Good thing the players we currently have want to play for us so it would take an exeptiona offer for th...

Something else to consider is the range of where we are capturing players from. The likes of Cartman, Gaskell & Hardy are far from local. MG I imagine will be looking much further a field than Gateshead and Hartlepool for individuals that will improve our squad.

Who has put him playing on the right?

Dickdarlington - comment above mine (should have quoted)

But they won't will they, otherwise they would have been here after the NL promotion or the Evostick Div 1 promotion. It's not like we've had any seasons of struggle is it. They are coming for a day out, a few drinks and a few no doubt for the possibility of trouble. I agree, I think there are a lo...

Amar is a left winger (and forward) though. Dont recall him ever playing on the right. For me I think Mitchell has the legs to play as a wing back meaning you can play Portas and Scott in the middle, Amar on the left and Thompson in a roaming role which defaults back to right midfield if they start ...

Whitby also came and gave a very good account of themselves. One of the best performances at HP from the opposition this season, but as we know have also been relegation threatened.

I believe so. Spent the first 2 years with the club 2 weeks away from fitness.

Today though, i thought he was a great replacement. His cross field balls were causing havoc all day.

Need divine help rather than volunteer help if Bish has been anything like Darlo over the last hour...

Sun is back out now.....

Wheres me beach shorts????

Just read it myself. Wasnt at the match, but it certainly looks like a very one sided report. I did note though that Paul Bastock was in goal for them. He is 45 and played against us for St Neots last year pulling off a wonder save from Thompson in the first half. The guy clearly loves just football...

I'm another in the Turnbull camp. Watching him every week is an absolute joy. In his interview pre-season where he proclaimed he was the best midfielder in the Conference and will be again, I though he was a bit of a Billy Big Bollocks but he has delivered and then some. A mention too (like others) ...

Any word if there is going to be a pitch inspection and if so what time??

Been raining since about 9:30 last night.... not looking great.

Should be ok regardless of the weather - Sutton have a plastic pitch

Are we expecting to take a decent following dpwn there tomorrow?? At the same stage against St Neots we had cracking support.

Ahhhh I was under the impression he lived Peterborough way or something hence couldn't make most week night games... My bad

Are we not having a charity away shirt again?

I have 2 theories. MGs planned squad numbers are currently too high with either expectation of departures or the Turnbull signing coming as a bonus... ...or it could be a change of heart from Hatchy. He apparently lives down south and hops on the train every Saturday to sit on the bench. Could be th...

Does anyone know whether Gillingham or any other club are continuing their interest in Mitchell?

Would obviously be a blow to the paying staff, but losing players for them to go full time would be a nod to both the progress of the club and the player since joining us.

Has details/design of this years away kit been released? If I've missed it could someone share the link to the story. Really hoping its better than the Hibs shirt of last year.

Cheers

When the Class of 92 took over at Salford they said it was all about developing Academy football in the area and making sure the kids of that area had their chance to progress. Of course signing Danny Webber and paying him £800 a week and poaching the management and all the best players from a neig...

What is White's actual disciplinary record?? i.e. how many reds and yellow??

I'm probably wrong, but I can only recall the Salford red and 1 x 1 match suspension for yellows.

After the celebrations of Saturday and thoughts of next season's potential squad it seems to have slipped under the radar a little that Saturday was our last game at HP. I know Darlo should be playing in Darlo, but I've really enjoyed watching us play there and given us some great memories over the ...

This kid did not punch a steward. Had he done so he'd have been arrested. He was simply in the officer's way. He didn't realise he was because he had his back to him. The officer realised he couldn't get passed so threw the kid across the stand and walked passed him. If there's a need for police pr...

....so when do those tickets go back on general sale?

I took an early lunch and headed down at 11:30 to be greeted by the news that the 'general' tickets were gone and the ST holder allocation will be made general at 1pm. If that isn't how they should have been operated someone should tell them fast!! I dont suppose theres any way of Kev putting a live...
