Re: Who next?
Interesting to see some Shields fans want Armstrong to replace Arca despite how it ended here Maybe a refreshed AA, without the annual need to sell the best players he has assembled, might just do OK somewhere like that. I’d agree but Shield’s money looks like it will be tempered moving forward giv...

Re: Who next?
Martin Gray is an obvious choice for those of us guided by past glories. I’d like to see him team up with Brian Atkinson in some way if he did return.
We need something, or someone, that will galvanise us into a decent BtB effort.

Re: Darlington V Bishops Stortford
The Taylor situation is a massive red herring.
The simple truth is Gowling is entirely out of his depth in every way.
The thought of 3 managers in a year is properly grim, but Gowling is such a disaster we have no choice whatsoever.

If we don’t, attendances will drift below 1,000 as we slide into regional football.

Re: Hodgy
I'd love to know who turned us down, or withdrew from the running, before we appointed Gowling. It seems like more than just Hodgy said no.
I'm still personally disappointed we didn't appoint Lakeland but who knows what actually happened.

Re: Darlo v Chester
Hazel's strengths are definitely not his hold-up/link-up play, even though he did get 11 assists last season. However, inside the penalty box he is a serial goal-scorer/chance-getter, and that, if he does depart, will be very hard to replace. He scored 21 non-penalty goals last season. That is ridi...

A great, and well needed result, especially us showing significant resilience under the cosh in the second half.

Re: Kings Lyn
I'm quite sure, logically, Gowling will have chucked a number of the squad on the transfer list. However, from my limited experience at semi-pro level, I can't see us not naming them to other clubs. We're bottom, look genuinely dreadful, and we need to shift players out before we can get any in. I d...

If any of the above is true, it’ll hardly be a secret in the dressing room, and those players aren’t likely to be here in 12 months.

The difficulty is that we haven’t really got a squad suited to any particular formation/style as it is so badly constructed.

A lot of the pyramid is in dire need of restructuring. The only solution would be to go to 4 divisions at step 2 - but the impact of that would be to remove a promotion spot / playoff spot.
