Darlo Uncovered

I showed the highlights v Motherwell to a pal of mine, who is a next opponent analyst in Scotland. He said: "Darlington are really way off it fitness wise, even for a first game and they were also bullied physically by what is a strong but quite young Motherwell line up that are not as good on pape...

Cant make this but will be at Halifax

Great signing.

We wont get bullied in the middle if we can play him and Holness together.

My worry this season, at the moment, is up front. Campbell wants to be a number 9 but isn't exactly tall and Thommo used as a number 10, again not the tallest. Both will and have been given the impression of first Xl starting slots and to me it feels a little like trying to shoe-horn them in. The s...

Great performance.Spoke to a Motherwell fan at HT and he said 7/8 of the 11 that started against Darlo would start in their opening SPL fixture. 2nd half had a lot of youth/trialists on both sides so hard to judge. Think we need another forward to assist Campbell. They had beaten Linfield and at the...

Im coming up from Mancland, looking forward to seeing the new players.

Motherwells a big club too so hoping for a good gate.

Anyone who saw his performance at Guiseley will not be disappointed.

Correct, was awful.

Away at Halifax on July 20th.

One matter of note is that none of the departing players have so far ended up at a club at the same level or higher, including Elliott. Nicholson might, but we haven't found a taker so far. I think trotman will probably go, based on little more than a hunch, and that we tied him to a new contract t...

Getting a bit depressing this. Only 12 players, one of whom recovering from an Op and no GK.

Just counted 12 myself and freaked a bit.Im sure its all under control, dont worry.

Excellent work, really useful

It's 209 miles from Manchester to Berwick. In my book that's far!

Be worth it!

id heard a friendly with Hibs?

We had Motherwell last season and although they brought a few down there was very few Darlo there so a waste of time money wise really. Sure it was a crap kick off time/day too.

Think should concentrate on away games, maybe 1 before season starts at BM.

You tease.....any idea where? We were saying a good one could be Berwick,not far and a good day out.

Nice one.Cant get up weekend so hoping on for start of next season.

Couldnt understand why we insisted on playing the ball in the air and not on the floor.

They were like something out of Avatar so we had no chance of competing most of the time.

Did anyone else notice TWs body language? Was just leaning on the dugout or sat down most of the game.

Just watched the highlights. Could have gone 1 down when Ainge sliced a clearence and then just after we scored Ainge again at fault as he just seemed to lose his man,keeper made a good save. Looked a lucky result from the highlights in that we didnt concede at these times but sure there was more to...

Last weekend I met some senior figures at a club TW was at previously and although they said he was a nice chap they didnt want him back. I like TW but I dont feel he will ever learn, he cant organise a defence and seems to see the obvious (strong holding midfielder arrives March) far too late. A fe...

When TW joined in Oct 2017 what was the contract length announced, can anyone recall?

Thought the lad from Huddersfield did really well and deserved his MOTM, looks like TW has brought in another good loan signing. Good to hear Pete. How did Holness play, I have great hopes for him? Thought he had a good game, added a bit of muscle in midfield and scored a good goal.Will be interest...

That depends on the chauffer! Like Mick, I'm a fizzy lager boy. Cheers Theres a few of us lager boys so dont worry! Like you I am impressed with the ground.Just a shame the pipe stops a stand being erected at the other end, even if it was half the width of the pitch it would encourage more away fan...

Mixture of emotions, relief - that looks like we are staying up, frustration - lack of a CF who can finish off chances we create, pride - the club was saved yet again by the fans, dismay - over the management of the team. Nevertheless, have renewed my season ticket - must be my heart ruling my head...

Gutted im missing this one.

There's an extraordinary interview with the FCUM manager after yesterday's terrible defeat in which he lambasts his players, saying one-and-a-half of them performed against Nuneaton, some of them are only bothered about money and he'll be shaking hands with them and saying goodbye. He says if they ...

The more I look at the team on Sat / squad the more I appreciate what a good job TW has done in putting it together. With Holness in the middle theres only a couple or three players players I wouldnt want around next season.Obviously some of the loans will go but on the whole its not bad. That said ...

Didn't get to tune in this weekend as I was away - how did Holness get on? (apart from a dubious sending off)

Did well, looks a big unit who can let the others play a bit but has good some skill himself.

Oh dear, hope you don't regret that comment!

Safe now................I hope!

Holness looks a very good signing, just what we need to let Nicholson and co do their thing you would hope. As someone said earlier thank God for Thomo, just goes up a gear and changes the game. Support from a good 200 Darlo fans was brilliant. Was good for me to see Jackson get on as a sub.When I c...

Im going, really important game as 2 wins should see Darlo safe.

ffs.
