However the Chair of the DFCSG made excuses, that we are part-time, that we played at the weekend, that our players have days-jobs - ALL challenges that Chorley faced before the fixture. That's what I'm not happy with. That is the chair of the majority shareholder. Who gave their perspective on thi...

I’m out of here when board member Scully asks Josh a question, it gets a bit questionable, like what attracted you to the multi millionaire Paul Daniels for the old ones.

Yeah that was such an obviously planted question. Embarrassing

We need a result on Saturday? Really? I think we need to get results against Warrington and Rushall. I honestly do not think it matters if we win, lose or go to pens on Saturday. I think we need some kind of performance, whether that results in a win or not is probably less important, but we need t...

Depends what value he placed on keeping the score respectable - as I say he may have learned more about the players at his disposal from what happened than just putting everyone behind the ball under siege for 75 minutes. No manager would ever consciously think, “I could keep this respectable but I...

Telling people off. Sorry I know what I'd do at work if someone 'told me off'. "Bye" Great way to prove my point. We want players with grit and fight, not ones who run away / hide when criticised or disciplined. Nonsense. People perform when they have clarity, capability and motivation to do so. If...

I've been looking at these goals again on the highlights and something caught my eye. In goals 5 and 6 T.T. just seems to idly swing a defeated leg out, why doesn't he at least attempt to get down on the ball? To me it's not a good look :( For years (but not lately) I’ve seen goalie warm ups where ...

Based on how the first 5 minutes played out, I’m very confident that Chorley would’ve won this game easily 11 v 11. JG points out that the players looked tired after Saturday and he’s definitely right but why is that the case? Chorley are part time, they played Saturday, what’s the difference? I ju...

I don't think Jonno and Morley would have accepted our recent performances. And do what, exactly, to reject it. Be shouty at grown adults? I was speaking to someone at Bolton the other day. He was recounting how Sam Allardyce when he was there would never shout at players. He would always talk to t...

It's becoming clear that we've made a huge mistake with this appointment. There are alarming signs that there are major problems behind the scenes with organisation, spirit and leadership and that has been clear in most of the games, not just in last night's disastrous performance. It is going to t...

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. No it does not. The club need to hear what the owners think. You can’t...

I think that is possibly the biggest defeat in my time of watching Darlington going back to the 1960s. Everything that could have gone wrong, did go wrong tonight. All I would say is, let’s try to refrain from knee jerk reactions, and everyone needs to keep calm. I agree. I think chopping the manag...

No dressing up an awful result, hopefully a freak occurrence driven in part by the sending off but you have to question the players desire/professionalism to concede 8! All they can do is put it right and perform with some pride v Scunthorpe and more importantly in the league. Will sort out players...

They must be playing to get Gowling sacked. What the fuck was that ????

For me Nelson should be the next out the door, he's never shown any kind of form with us since he has been back. I know its harsh, but we have got to think of the club and survival. Perhaps Alun and Danny were so invested in his rehabilitation that they couldn’t see the wood for the trees. Fact is ...

Superb result. Even though we conceded two, we didn’t collapse so encouragement can be taken from this resilience. Glad the 5 at the back seems to be gone.

And just how do you think we can afford to sack another management duo?

Can we afford not to?

As DJ stated, there are clauses meaning we don’t pay the full contract out for the remaining duration.

Nothing should be even considered into the New Year at the earliest.

Even if we lose our next 4 league games?

The next manager is whoever the board bring in, hopefully learning from their mistakes in this appointment. Someone like Watson or Lakeland would be nice … I base my expectation that they will be better at attracting players because they couldn’t be much worse than JG. Right, so in your fantasy (ir...

That comment was a bit tongue in cheek, if only we had interviewed him.

Under Tommy Wright's reign we flirted with relegation a little bit but I thought we had the players to get us enough points. Guys, the reality is, we have one foot in the next division already. I cannot see us getting out of this. We do not have goals in our team, midfield and attack. We need to ha...

This will be tougher than it looks on paper. Their home form is crap, but of their 6 home games they have played 4 of the teams you’d expect to be in the playoff mix at the end of the season

Confirmed, he has signed for Scarborough, now on their website.

Looks like Tommy will be back, unless Eddie Howe starts answering his phone…

For me the next 2 games are crucial. A minimum of 4 points are needed from these as Chester and Chorley will be very difficult. We currently need to be hitting fractionally over 1.3 points per game from now on the get to 50 points to have a chance of safety. Every game we fail to hit that increases ...
