Re: The Bottom Eight, Tuesday Mar 03rd 2024

Rolling forward from the previous thread, realised I was probably being a little kind to Kings Lynn who are definitely still in this fight so have added them in: Blyth: played 36, gd -4, pts 43 Fixtures remaining: Kings Lynn 20th (h), Darlo 21st (h), Southport 18th (a), Peterborough 15th (a), Curzon...

Re: Darlington v Banbury 2/03/24

Feels like it will depend on if and when we can get reinforcements and the quality of them and how they fit in. Couple of injuries now which will see players missing for 2-3 weeks. Hatfield on 9 bookings. It’s all on a knives edge Fingers crossed Hatfield can get through the Scunthorpe and Spennymo...

Re: The Bottom Seven, Saturday Mar 02nd 2024

Good write up as ever Ginge. Kings Lynn seem to have found the players and form to pull away from the drop zone. Not unexpected, a full time team should be no where near the relegation zone in this league. I can't help but feel Blyth are a bad round of results away from getting involved in this rele...

Re: Darlington v Banbury 2/03/24

Another massive win. Credit to Steve and Terry they have turned us around massively, 18 points from their 12 games in charge. Perfect for the 1.5 points per game we needed to survive when they both came in. We really need them both signed up long term, would be a huge boost to the club and the fan b...

Re: Darlington v Buxton

Good result yesterday. And sounded thoroughly deserved. Pleased for Nelson to get his goal and it was very well taken, but we need more from him before the end of the season. Glad to see Curry there at the back post to tap in the equaliser too. Since the turn of the year he's got some important goal...

May as well put this on repeat, but why even bother with a pre match interview.

Re: South Shields v Darlo

Don't think they can have complaints about the first red. Yes he's a long way out. But 0 covering defenders, Main is running away from Briggs for a 1v1 with the goal keeper and he makes no attempt to play the ball. Those 3 factors combine to mean its a red. The foul on Cornish is tough without a muc...

Few tired bodies and knocks at the end of the game on Saturday so feel like the squad will need to be ready to be used and rotate.

Re: Darlington v Hereford

Doesn't look like reinforcements are rushing over the hill just yet which is frustrating, but none the less the players who are here need to stand up and be counted and start dragging us out of the mess we've gotten ourselves into. Siddik being fit is a boost and hopefully Barrow can shake off his i...

Goes without saying a really tough game tomorrow, a team coming to BM bang in form, scoring plenty of goals and full of confidence. We have a complete lack of goals and a leaky defence.

Can't win a game of football when basically the full matchday squad has an off day. Hedley run ragged for goal 1, barely able to find a Darlo player with a pass. CBs too slow to react for both goals.

Re: Boxing Day at Scarborough

Not much in that game from what I've seen. Stupid pen to give away by Hedley. Nothing happening upfront. Other than Rivers shot just after their goal we've done nothing in their box, which needs to change second half.

Going to try and be positive. Siddick looks decent from what I've seen.
