Re: More local competition for good players now at Blyth

I shuddered when I read the sleeping giant line, I remember a certain ex owner of ours saying the same thing about us! Hope he turns out to be more like their previous owner rather than the three owners of the apocalypse that we had leading up to 2012. Good luck to them, it’s a smashing away day! R...

Re: Darlington v Buxton

Where’s Windass, ? Anyone. Not that he’s a big miss, just someone else on the wage bill I suppose. Gone I think He trained last week , not sure if things have changed now Squad looks really thin at the minute with the amount of injuries , I’m really surprised we haven’t got anyone in on loan as yet...

Re: Boston v Darlington 20/02/24

Sick and tired of saying it but we are asking players to play in positions that don't suit them. Nelson and Main would be best suited in a two up front formation, not all this someone in the hole bollocks that we seem to have persisted with for nearly a year under 3 managers, when it doesn't work w...

No brainer for me, and would rather focus on bringing in a good attacking midfielder or striker.

Curry needs to be in the starting 11. Main works hard and is an asset, but we need someone who can finish alongside him and that ain’t Nelson.

2 things here, why on earth extend Sukar’s loan for a further month with Lawlor picking up injuries repeatedly, and yet again that total waste of space missing yet again.

Re: South Shields v Darlo

Fantastic result, not always easy playing against 10 men (then 9) but seems like a very professional performance.A good result against Boston would work wonders, and with 42 points to play for we have a chance.

Re: Any new faces

As I have said before, if we cant sign good players when we are top then what chance when we are second bottom? Not many players are going to commit themselves to us on a permanent deal when we could well be in the NPL next season. It wouldn't surprise me if Main has a release clause if we go down....

The defence as a unit, including TT, I feel has improved under SW. We just need to find the key at the other end of the pitch.
