Darlo Uncovered

"Attacking midfielder" sounds promising as we do not have enough players who get into the opposition box. Also no mention of phrases like "recovering from long-term injury" or "lacking match fitness", so hopefully he will be straight into the squad.

Shame about Siddik missing this one as he seemed to have slotted into the defence so well. Hope Barrow can keep going as per Kings Lynn game.

There are few advantages to being fan owned but at least BtB gives us some say & involvement. Some King's Lynn fans were envious & their owner gave us a mention too. https://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/24031330. ... lynn-town/

Great start by Barrow at King's Lynn. Bit surprised he lasted on the pitch so long, but could have been risking a relapse. Hope he keeps fit & turning in such great performances which could get us out of a hole!

King's Lynn are full-time yet looked like a pub team. How are the mighty fallen? Absolutely made up for SW, Barrow /Siddik / Curry & the whole team who executed a smash & grab to perfection. Hope we have turned the corner & with another BtB will give SW a bit of dosh to work wonders with in 2024.

jjljks maybe been out for an early session ?

Confused where Hazel went with Purver.

Just hope Hazel doesn't turn up and put in a display to rub our noses for letting him go. As Andypark says, now is the time to get behind the lads.

For me there is only one person for the job to get us out of this mess and that is Martin Gray. He is available and is Darlington’s most successful manager ever and what he did to restart the club should never ever be forgotten. Sorry, Martin G would not get us out of this mess although DFC will fo...

Not even Sean Dyche is capable of saving us from relegation this season.

Ahead of the game, I felt hopeful that we had turned the corner after the win over Gloucester & Danny R's preview with injury list shortening & new signings. Even the bench seemed stronger, but these omens were shattered by onfield display of ineptness, lack of creative attacks and determination. Cr...

Sukkar must be wondering about his own future with the club. Shame, as he was making progress.

Looks like the team have bonded, presumably after having 2 weeks to train & prepare. Gloucester were on a good run & at home which made the clean sheet victory seem even sweeter. Hope we have now turned the corner & kick on up the table.

Any chance of a loan from Scunthorpe? Not any player but their director Tahina Akther a barrister who was the person responsible for creating their CIC. Some miracle worker there!

That is a relief & hopefully JG can sort out the squad with time to get injured players fitter & plan ahead.

Am finding best odds of us staying up & will put £5 on & my winnings into next season's BTB.
Statistically we cannot be so bad for the rest of the season

May be they can teach us something, as this extract from their official website shows:- "Glanford Park has been bought by a not-for-profit company, securing the home of Scunthorpe United for generations and creating a new, sustainable future for the club. As part of the deal, an anticipated 100 jobs...

May be DFC keeping status of availability secret to fox the opposition?

At the end of the day Gowlings signings have been just awful,barring a couple. I cannot see us surviving if he remains in charge and if the board stick with him next season really think the BTB will be a disaster. Sent from my SM-A145R using Tapatalk And AA’s were great and he spent the 160k well??...

⬆️ See your point. I like Salkeld - he's got potential, I think we'll see him improve. Yes, he has tried a fair few positions but up front in centre seems right for him. Asante or Nelson could forge a decent partnership with him& have put away some of the half chances he created and start the team ...

1st 45mns we played really well, pressed & had a bit of luck when Warrington hit our bar. Defence held a high line very well & we scored a rare Rivers goal to round off an excellent move. 2nd half we had a chance to wrap it up if Moke had shot rather than passing. Gradually Warrington got on top & i...

Gowling then complained that we got done by a long-ball.

We're always getting done by the long ball, that's Darlo.

And set pieces

And in the few minutes straight after kick-off & restart.

Donations/Ideas welcome

Mr Q could wear a patch over one eye.

Home fans could buy blindfolds at BM so we don't have to see how badly we are playing.

Given up as well, could hear Stu but anyone on the front table was like being underwater. Appreciate the effort but England game for me

Hardly worth it either!

Gutted Burton has gone back, was really hoping we would be able to extend his loan, I honestly don’t think Sukar, lees or lawlor are good enough (in my opinion) but it is what it is! Agree with all that. Loanees are at best a sticking plaster solution which can lead to complications if we get to re...

Every schoolboy error was there, from senseless dangerous challenges, woeful marking & no system plus some cracking goals from Chorley & Moke. The Fans Forum needs to be postponed while this debarcle sinks in & people calm down.

Hazel was never the same since coming back from international duty.

Hope Paddy doesn't get any more knockbacks & the medics are happy to let him play again. All the best

Got to be a part-exchange deal, as the 1st half against Chester proved we can do without Hazel & score goals. He is a luxury that Gowling cannot afford to keep picking unless Hazel can do more for the team, but I think it is a case of "you can't teach an old dog new tricks".

3-2 win, 33/1 with Betfred :D :roll: Did you place a bet? Fair play to the team and management, off the bottom and now potentially 6 points from safety if you allow for current goal difference we probably need that extra point. On to Tuesday now. Only small stakes, but enough to get me down the pub...

TBF Nelson had a good first half, able to lay off & did plenty of covering back, more than Hazel did when he came on, ambling about then the one chance he had for 4-2, passed wide & gave all the responsibility to Will H. Salkeld scored a cracker & surprised everyone not least Chester by running at t...
