Re: Southport...

TW won 21 (30%) of his 71 NLN games before leaving: AA I believe only has Joe Wheatley left from TW days and has also won 21 (38%) of his 55 NLN games so there is a slight improvement over the last couple of seasons; but I have resigned myself to a bottom half of the table finish with only our NE ne...

Re: Darlington v Leamington 23/10/21

Thought we started well enough and it was not a surprise when we took the lead through KDS. However, once Leamington equalised they raised their game and were much more competitive. Whether their goal was offside or not I was not in a position to see but the defenders certainly seemed to be expecti...

Re: Chorley v Darlo

Surprised to read this given we had Purver, Mondal and Rose as unused subs on Saturday! Judging by some of her/his previous posts, I think it's fair to say eddie-rowles doesn't rate Mondal.

Re: Chorley v Darlo

Re: Marske away in the Cup (if we beat Chester)

Re: Darlington V Telford

Good result but Telford were poor but still managed to hit the post and bar and Taylor made a great save in the dying seconds so could have been 3-3, one swallow doesn't make a summer and need to beat Hereford before I start thinking of moving into top half of table.

Re: Blyth v Darlo

Having watched the highlights, again you can't be happy at the goals we conceded. The first I'm not really sure what Purver is doing or what his role is, he either has to be taking responsibility for trying to block the cross as the first man or drop back further and get infront of O'Donnell with G...

The alarming bit in AA's interview was when he said: "We went into training on Thursday looking to change it but we didn't get the right attitude from certain players so we didn't change it." That doesn't sound good at all. It doesn't give the impression of harmony. That was the impression I got bu...

Re: Curzon 31.08

I think we all knew this squad was weaker than last season. We lost quality in the likes of Campbell and Sousa. We seem to have brought in poorer players in all areas. I am going to posit that our defensive problems are only partly down to difficulties in finding the right players though, part of t...
