Re: Leamington v Darlo

Those two goals are dreadful to concede. Looks like Lawlor getting bullied for the last and questionable for the first. He’s been poor recently and has cost us through a lack of urgency / aggression on a number of occasions. He’s far too casual for my liking. Hopefully now with Wheater, Brookwell a...

Re: Leamington v Darlo

If we can’t win at Boston or Leamington What makes you think we can win away to top teams. Starting to look like a Baldrick type cunning plan to drop out of the play offs altogether We're Darlo and that's how we do it. Lose to the bankers and beat more difficult opposition. We're still in this, but...

Re: Leamington v Darlo

Losing our top-scorer has unsuprisingly been a big set back. Does signing players with release clauses in their contract actually help us in the long term? Yes it does help us. Getting Beck was certainly a big factor in getting us into the top 7. I'd rather be up there and trying to hang on in ther...

Re: Leamington v Darlo

Agreed losing 3 quality players like Leesley, Dodds and Beck is a massive blow when the squad lacks a bit of strength in depth. Add to that Wheater’s injury problems and the fact that Maddison didn’t work out and we have had to overcome plenty of setbacks. On the plus side we are still in good shap...

Re: Leamington v Darlo

I'm not sure that it's the best tactic to throw an extra defender on to hold on to a lead when you're incapable of defending anyway.

We're better at attacking so keep attacking.

Re: Darlington V Telford

He shoots early, bullies opposition defences, drags the team up the pitch, is a complete shithouse, and is the most vocal player we have. 15 goals in a new league and he played the first 10 games out of position. He’s absolutely class and exactly what we’ve needed for years. This. All of it. Any ot...

Fan owned is great in principal but for us to proceed up the leagues and not have to constantly sell players then something needs to change in the way fans fund the club.

But, you love to see jammy wins don't you, and I guess a sign of a good team is a team that wins often no matter how they play. So maybe not so much luck after all. Purver is playe...

Re: 2,300 tickets sold for Boxing day as of 18th Dec (Now 2,700 pre-sold - ONLY 3 STANDING TICKETS LEFT FOR DARLO FANS)

Why go 5 at back with Hedley/Felix as wing backs when they clearly aren’t? What are you talking about 5 at the back? It was a 4-4-2. Agreed it was until the last 20 mins when he moved Dodds alongside Lawlor/Sukar and pulled Felix back. Could argue that formation could be quite attacking but restric...

On the subject of the crowd, great to see a 3,000 crowd but it wasn't half as bad as I expected. I thought it was going to be 4 or 5 deep down the sides and bedlam etc, but it did seem as though most smaller people were at the front.
