Re: Darlington V Hornchurch Trophy Quarter Final
Unusual for Darlogramps and I to agree but there is no way Campbell should be released. His best position is behind the striker which he has hardly played this season. His vision and movement is sometimes at a higher level than the others and got him into some fantastic positions last year. Our play...

Re: Darlington V Hornchurch Trophy Quarter Final
Didn’t play well today and same old same old when faced with a packed defence. Really like Sousa but he is equally so so frustrating! He could be such a better player, and he is good now, if he just released the ball to better placed players At times. Guess that’s why he is at this level. Think we n...

Re: Wealdstone match thread
Well if that happens to be our last match of the season then it was a great sign off. Everyone played well and we made another team from division above look poor. Storey has made a big difference in defence and and Rivers saves his best for cup matches. Hope Charman is not as bad as it looks as he l...

Just read the Boston chairman’s statement as the clubs obviously now have the full details of loan terms, grants etc. https://www.bostonunited.co.uk/news/club-statement--29012021-2596940.html There are clearly many points of view to the argument and do see that if you are a Boston, York or whoever s...

Re: Weymouth V Darlington FC FA Trophy
Hunt, Hatfield and McGuire’s best games of the season for me. Saltmer never made a save from memory and we missed a couple of sitters to make game safe. Storey did what he does for me, same as last year, you don’t really notice him but makes the defence stronger. Great all round team performance wit...

Re: Farsley coverage
Think most views at moment are that we need 3 in midfield which I agree with. Atkinson hasn’t had a run in the holding role. AA said that Atk was excellent for Blyth in that role, protecting the back 4 and reading the game. I would say give him a go for a few games and free up Hatfield particularly ...

Re: Farsley coverage
Our delivery of the ball into the box was absolutey appalling. No wonder we aren't a threat. Did we even try to cross the ball? If we have it out wide we just cut inside and then pass it nowhere. Teams are happy for us to have the ball as they know they can easily defend our threat in the final thi...

Re: Brackley v Darlo
Am I the only one not sure why we have signed O’Neill for the season? Got huge potential and on his day is a match winner, no doubt. But so are Charman, McGuire and Campbell who can all play his position and are actually our players. Yet surely other areas of the pitch need strengthening ahead of ce...

They closed us down, got tight and we just have no answer to a physical approach. Give us time on the ball and we are great but we are completely sussed I’m afraid. What do you t...

Well AA, it hadn’t worked all game so why doesn’t he just accept launching it and Laing up front. Surely nothing to lose. Hugely frustrating but ...

Laing getting good reviews and rightly so but think Atkinson done equally as well in last two games. Showing why AA rates him so highly, his distribution and reading of the game was first class.
Let’s have a win at Blackwell now.

Everyone is seeing the same thing, not physical enough, not sure of best team even if all were fit, too predictable, not fit enough and no plan B when we get closed down.

Re: Darlington V Telford
Just repeat my words after Boston. Outfought, no physicality and actually don’t Look as fit as the opposition. Every second half we fade out of the game. Not rocket science how to beat us it is, be physical, press us and watch out for the little one twos around the edge of box.

Re: Darlo v Boston Match Thread
Best team comfortable winners, we have been poor tonight. Love what AA is doing but we do
lack physicality when faced with a strong well organised team who press all game long. Fitter and stronger all over the park unfortunately. Type of team that always do well in this division.

Have to say that I agree with his argument although could have been more tactful maybe.

Agree, worst performance under AA. Men against boys was what we said under TW too often, but it reminded us of that today, shocking. Cant remember a shot on goal in second half. We don’t look sharp or even fit. Even in the cup tie they dominated the last 20 mins. Totally get that nearly all the inju...

Re: Ground share
No brainier on two simple fronts:
1. Increased revenue
2. All true fans can see the game.
Whatever our personal view is on either BM or Arena this has to be put aside on this occasion for the good of the club.
