Re: Gainsborough Trinity V Darlington FC Match Thread
As I've said long term we should aim to sign players such as Bartlett. Slight gamble introducing a new keeper days before playing?not much time to familiarise with the defence and vice versa? Players such as Bartlett with lots of experience and playing at a higher level means absolutely nothing. Wh...

Re: Gainsborough Trinity V Darlington FC Match Thread
Clean sheets and finally some understanding in our problematic defensive department, only for us to bring in a keeper who is clearly on the downgrade.

Re: Clean sheets
Standing behind the goal today, I noticed how vocal our Goalkeeper was, always guiding and instructing the lads in front of him. Didn't have a lot to do barring the one save but he looks assured and has so far, been an excellent signing.

Re: Transfer
Hardy to Darlo - £15k
Hardy to Buxton - £10k
A deal that didn't quite work out as planned but that's football. Sometimes big signing come off and sometimes they don't. Whether it's cost neutral or not, we can't be scrutinising decisions MG and the board are making to try and make us better.

Re: Pitch deal falls through
Highly unlikely we had a deal with Middlesbrough to buy their pitch!!
Blackwell Meadows needs digging up properly (similar to Bishops) if the pitch is going to be done properly. The surface of a football pitch is only as good as the ground beneath it.

Re: Darlington FC v Curzon Ashton
Curzon were well drilled on how to contain us and dealt with all of the balls In and around Beck impeccably. They made sure they won the majority of loose balls in and around their own box too. They soaked up the pressure and hit us on the break with the pace of Ryan Hall who we struggled with. Firs...

Re: New signing
A reliable source has told me, Bishop pushed the boat right out to secure his services and he was a massive factor in them getting as far as they did in the FA Cup. Very highly rated I'm told.

Lots and lots of positives for me yesterday. Opening 15minutes we didn't really have a kick and Halifax came out of the blocks on fire, most notibly their right winger who I'm told is a Stockton lad.

Re: HALIFAX - HOME TICKETS - SOLD OUT NOW
Can't wait for this game!!
Just a thought but the away end at BM has no covering and it's standing only (I'm led to believe) so I can understand why Halifax may have struggled to sell the allocation, add to that no onsite bar.

There's a few sheep kicking around on here. Maurice_Peddalty makes a very valid point, there might just not be any other keepers available which would make the decision signing him understandable.

Re: New Keeper
I hope the keeper from Hartlepool does well for us, but I'm lost as to why we have decided to get him on loan. He was a Northern League keeper last year at strugglers Durham City. We've signed him blind in my opinion, unless he is in just as cover. So according to your theory no player from a lower...

Re: Salford game at Herritage Park
While it's wet and bogging, let's mess the HP pitch up and not our new carpet at BM.
A bit of humour on my part, but in all seriousness, a game on our BM pitch while the rainy season is in full force, could result in the pitch been knackered for the remainder of the season.

I thought the Bishop lot used those sprinklers a little excessively, but according to my pal at Bishop, Martin Gray has a specific requirement for the watering of the pitch: 15 minutes of watering before the players warm up 15 minutes of watering when the team finishes the warm up 15 minutes of wate...

Re: a crocked jameson v a fit bell
Bell is a cheap 2nd goalkeeper to have in the squad and is happy to sit on the bench week in week out. He would only ever be used for an emergency situation like a sending off or an injury during the game to Jameson. I have no doubt, if Jameson picked up a long term injury, he would sign a keeper to...

Re: 3rd Sep Fixture Clash
I am told the FA cup takes priority. Think that means the league will decide when our game with Kidderminster is played, more than likely the Sunday, unless we both agree to a Friday night game.
