Re: FC United V Darlington match thread
It looks like Harvey Saunders is starting to get to grips with this level and it will do Styche good to have someone snapping at his heels. No one should be guaranteed a start! Whatever combo is played up front the strikers need appropriate passes to their strengths, rather than sloppy (aerial) cle...

Re: FC United V Darlington match thread
We were getting over run in midfield because we only had Wheatley and Elliott as real midfielders, both who played well with Wheatley especially covering all over the pitch and strong in the challenge. How many "real midfielders" do we need? When we are talking about real midfielders are we talking...

Re: FC United V Darlington match thread
I think it would help if we relieved Styche of the captaincy. He's an individualist and operates best when he's focused on just one thing - scoring goals - and worrying about sorting out the other ten gets in the way. On top of that, up front he can't see the whole picture - he needs to be looking ...

Re: Tommy wants 3 new players
Think Elliott can play as a '4' or '8', so can play holding as well as box-to-box. Full of energy and technically very good. When did people start talking about positions in football as numbers - I genuinely thought that centre backs were often number 4? Anyway full of energy as his most notable at...

Re: Nuneaton Town
Talking to Nuneaton fans at Tommy's last game with them, they were unhappy with him. Their team went on and gave Darlo, still suffering from Gray blight, a pacy roasting.

Re: Phil Turnbull has joined South Shields
There will be a problem replacing Turnbull with a like for like, so we may see some different formations next season to better accommodate midfielders with different styles and strengths.

Re: Darlington RA relegated
Should be attractive derby games when RA play our kids team and an RA friendly with a Darlo XI is always going to be popular. Not sure if any reserves are allowed into the Northern League, although Spenny played there for many years with many ex Darlo first teamers.

Re: Phil Turnbull Departs
Hope that he isn't going to encourage others to jump ship. He carried out his deep playmaker role very well for us, but we may need an adjustment in midfield now, because players with his skill set don't grow on trees. Hughes should give us a bit more muscle, height and goal attempts and Glover coul...

Harder for us to get promoted, but at the same time probably bigger crowds,as the floating fans seem to come to these 'bigger' games. Southport and Bradford PA will also be remembered as former league teams to older Darlo floating supporters. Don't fancy an away trip to Hereford again (drab and a f...

Re: Local Clubs Released Players
Hope we can land a striker with similar skills to Styche, when it comes to trapping and controlling the ball. Quick lay-offs and turns can compromise the more organised defences in our league. Sam Russell and some more kids to follow?

Only 150 season tickets sold. Ground upgrade may only be necessary repairs, so "going for it" may be a stretch, unless they are being heavily sugar daddied.

Re: Darlington FC V Spennymoor match thread
Memorable game for Darlo fans. Such a shame that Gray jumped ship so late. Play-offs a remote possibility, but if Darlo glean 9 points there could be some wobbles with others in the pack. Players will be up for the next 3 games anyway.

Seems like Styche needs an extra partner / replacement, for when he is struggling. Serious bit of the season is over, with the new lads cancelling out the MG debacle. Now there are 4 fun games available for Darlo to overtake York.
