Darlo Uncovered

We are still paying Alun and Danny Rose is staying put…maybe AA is ready for a return? That would be the final straw for me. Oh I fucking hope so, just to watch you lose it. Because bringing back a manager who managed to win 4 of his last 23 games would be a genius move 🤪 If he won 4 of his last 23...

Steve Watson. Some people keep going on about Adam Lakeland based on his time at "minnows" Curzon but the reality is that they have a budget similar to ours - and according to a Curzon fan on another forum, his brand of football was tedious. As much as I'd have Alun Armstrong back, I think that sor...

I can't believe Q that you want Gray back, after the way he left the club. Armstrong and Gray are not the answer. I'm sure Will Hatfield could be persuaded to be an assistant to whoever is appointed, in a player coach role. I was rolling my eyes at your sentence which made no sense (we didn't sack ...

Yes but funny how we won that game

We need to remember that Gloucester are garbage and were missing their best player.

Don't want Gray back, after the way he left us, when he was sacked by the club.

His team talk the other day, with the f word every other word was embarrassing. Not that I'm a puritan, but if you're swearing every other word, you're not communicating effectively. JG's team talk, am I missing something here? See the video of our trip to Gloucester the other week. Ah right, I nev...

Would Steve Watson want the job? Would Martin Gray? They’re more than likely going to get a relegation on their CV. It’s a complete disaster. Well... From the rumour mill - so take it all with a pinch of salt - Watson was in for the job last time, just we preferred JG, simple as that. Gray would co...

I say things were going in the right direction because those fairly average performances against Warrington, Rushall and Gloucester were an improvement on nearly every match since Beck left. They literally weren't. Even when we lost form under AA we still had hope in matches because we always looke...

Sadly Gowling has already caused too much damage for whoever is appointed. I hope I am wrong, but I think we are in too deep with how much we backed him. The accommodation, paid analyst, Asante’s wages, selling Hazel etc. Alun left us with an unbalanced squad. It wasn’t ideal, but with the resource...

Gray can only be effective managing a big fish in a little pond, Based on what? He wasn’t a big fish when he got us 5th in the NLN. I'm in agreement on this. Many of our players had come up through the leagues with us and were at or beyond the limit of their talent by the NLN but he still squeezed ...

Gray can only be effective managing a big fish in a little pond, and when he can out spend his rivals. I remember his bucket rattling comments after he pissed off to York. He’s not the answer. I'm not sure that is totally true. As we rose through the leagues Spendy always had a larger budget than u...

Personally I think he should’ve been given more time given the mess he inherited and that things did seem to be going in the right direction before the Bishop Stortford game. You have literally lived up to your name of Crazy. He should have gone after we were thrashed 8-0. Regarding the mess he inh...

Martin Grey till the end of the season? Anyone

Go on you've twisted my arm.

He would at least instil discipline and fight.

We'll have to pay a severance to the current manager and staff, as well as to some of his terrible signings. Do we know that though, for sure? Have you ever wondered why the terms of J.G's contract remain so secret? Or why he even got the job when possibly, there might have been better candidates? ...

I have no secret knowledge, it's just a hunch, but what I'm getting at is IF you were desperate to get a job and IF you were mega confident in your own abilities you might just offer up an offer along the lines of "if we're still in the relegation zone come the new year I'll resign FOC or with mini...

What's Stewart Davies upto these days? Best Chairman we've have in the last 20 years. Bought both financial stability (we didn't make a loss and that was whilst we were in the arena) and successive 8th place finishes in the league only just missing out on the play offs. Stewart Davies had no intere...

To me we have one opportunity and one only to get out of this absolute mess. Gowling has to go NOW, no messing about. We are going down if this does not happen. We then appoint someone to end of season. A combination of for example Hodgie/Gray would motivate the players (in different ways) and moti...

Team today is pretty much our very best team in my opinion. Maybe Moke instead of Ngandu. No excuses, just gotta put in a performance today, and think they will. Probs save his job mind if they do!! No idea why we signed the Greek guy mind if he does not even affect even the squad after Sat perform...

I've lost patience with him now. I didn't like the way that some were actively against him right from the start and thought he had the guile to pull us through - but it seems not. It was an unusual appointment, almost a bit of a gamble, Tommy Wright was a strange one too. There must be a plan B fro...

What puzzles me is how in the space of 7 days we can go from a competent encouraging display against Gloucester to the unmotivated disaster against Bishops Stortford. It can only be down to the manager in my opinion. I presume the club cannot afford to pay up his contract and therefore we as owners...

Dial H for Hodgie, Ghost?

No need to make any signings, just organise the players so that they can compete a little.

I think G for Gray to be honest.

Rumours circulating that he'd be interested in coming back and sorting this lot out.

A lot of straw clutching going on within this thread, and a lot of bigging up of a kid that I've never heard of.

I hope he is 1/10th of the player that everyone mysteriously thinks he is, because that would make him the best player at the club.

A good away win is met with grudging praise and a poor home defeat is jumped on with excitement it seems! Am sure you don’t want us to lose but I do think the Gowling hating/armstrong loving belief is coloring your views. I also think (and I know you didn’t start it) threads asking for a bloke to b...

Really need to complete the job of getting back into the pack on Saturday. Kings Lynn away at Southport, Rushall playing South Sheilds and Blyth playing chester gives us an opportunity of those around us no picking up points. So important we finish the day on 22 points and with a game or two in han...

And talking of Adam Boyes, isn't he the modern day Paul Connor?
