Re: Asante

Should go in for Cedric Main or Lenell John-Lewis on loan from York - can’t see either getting a start now that Billy Chadwick has signed from Gateshead and now that Finlay Barnes is appearing on the bench

Re: Good luck Steve Watson

The job Watson has on his hands isn’t unlike the one he inherited at York in 2019 where he took on a hugely underperforming side. He did quite quickly instil some better discipline on the training ground and get shot of the players he didn’t rate - he released Moke so his days may be numbered. Woul...

Re: Good luck Steve Watson

Regarding the assistant that he wants to bring in - Cummins is the most likely person given that he was assistant under Watson at Gateshead and York, but, Watson has also worked twice with John Askey as well at Macclesfield and York. He brought Askey in as his assistant at York after Cummins left. Y...

Re: Alun has been sacked

I’m really surprised that everyone is dismissing Steve Watson as a ‘failure’ - at Gateshead and York he didn’t do that bad. He was on course to get promoted with York until Covid kicked in - his win ratio there was 51% - best of any York manager.

Re: Season 23/24

Barnes signed a three year contract with York in June so unlikely he will be let go without there being a decent fee involved. He is seen as one for the future and so I think still features in plans for York

Re: Best Darlo Loan XI - Thread

I’m frankly appalled that in the goalkeeping position no one has voted for James Speare! Looking back on that, Hodgy must have been insane to hand him a football league loan debut in a critical derby match against Pools

Re: Gloucester City away 10/12/22

York are actively looking for an attacking midfielder/striker and their new management team are likely to be backed by the chairman given that they are ‘his men’. Lambert needs tying down on a 2 yr deal

Re: Fan Owned

I predict the York Trust will sell at least 50% of the club to a new backer. There’s no way the Trust will be able to manage the club on its own.

Re: Darlo’s worst XI

Using my above criteria, Flapper Newell was one of the worst keepers i saw that earned a contract but then he was partial to a few saves too. I always thought Newell was pretty decent considering he was in goal for our first Wembley trip! Bloody hell - old Flapper Newall. Terrible on crosses but di...

Re: Darlo’s worst XI

A few from the 90’s/00’s spring to mind: James Speare - loan keeper who couldn’t catch a cold in a doctors waiting room. Hodgy threw him in against Hartlepool in the 96/97 home derby Steve MacMahon - a hugely tall striker who couldn’t head the ball. Did score one against Orient in 95/96 but I rememb...

Re: The Hodgy team of 99/00 - if they had been promoted

It’s always extraordinary to think that team didn’t get promotion. Even with the poor run-in, if we’d only drawn with Northampton at home in April rather than lose (1-0 courtesy of a former Hanger, IIRC) we’d have been promoted. It would have all collapsed the following season, mind. I remember goi...

The Hodgy team of 99/00 - if they had been promoted

I’ve often wondered ‘what might have been’ if we had beaten Peterborough that night at Wembley - would that team have gone on to have a good season in Division 2, or would Reynolds still have forced most of them to leave. One thing I have noticed, looking at the careers of most of that team is that ...
