Re: Dave Syers gone

Proactive financial management is better than a cash call at the end of the season as has happened before. I do wonder how high we expected crowds to be mind, considering we're averaging 1457 in league games, which doesn't strike me as particularly low compared to reasonable expectations (at the mo...

Re: Club news

Back to the music. I’d go for one of the following:

Boys are back in town - Thin Lizzy (for nostalgic reasons)

Insomnia - Faithless (just the instrumental bit - absolutely class)

Two tribes - Frankie goes to Hollywood (used to work really well with the NFL)

Re: Darlington v AFC Telford

Absolutely terrific performance from everyone. Hughes was fabulous as a centre half and rightly was awarded the MOTM. But there were many great performances, really chuffed for Maddison in keeping a clean sheet. Hopefully that'll silence the Tommy knockers, happy days. Remember we were playing the ...

Re: TW tactics......again!

Next three fixtures are:

Telford (home)
Southport (away)
Stockport (home)

Even with a fully fit squad I think we’ll struggle to take more than two points.

Question - if we only pick up a few points and you were in charge, would TW stay or go?

He is tactically naive and inept, and I'm getting bored of saying this after every match. We are going to go nowhere other than backwards with TW. My question to point 4 is why not give them 10-15 mins, we could have a wonder kid waiting for an opportunity, if you don't play them then why name them...

Re: TW tactics......again!

4 questions that Ray Simpson will not probably ask. 1. At last fans forum TW said he had a great relationship with the other N East clubs and they were always offering him players on loan. Why then did he did not borrow a centre half and or left back.? 2. Why continue to play Styche on left wing. H...

Re: Spennymoor tomorrow night.

Need a 5 man midfield (with width) away at Spenny otherwise we’ll get beaten. Playing Styche and Ainge together is too attacking and will leave us exposed.

Darlington FC V Curzon Ashton Match Thread

My Ratings: Maddison 6 - gifted them a goal but saved a penalty. Looks a good prospect. Trotman 6 - didn’t do much wrong but MOTM award was generous. Didn’t pose an attacking threat. Collins 5 - slow but steady. Galbraith 6 - fairly solid and a threat from set pieces. O’Hanlon 5 - handball was unnec...

Re: Darlington FC V Curzon Ashton Match Thread

That was appalling. Seriously bad. Playing narrow with two target men - how’s that meant to work? Fair enough play Styche and Ainge together in a 4-4-2 with pacey wingers, but if you’re going 4-3-3 or 4-5-1 then just play one of them (i.e. Styche). Hughes isn’t up to it, bad signing. Overweight, slo...

Touché. I was just thinking the same. How low we’ll stoop just for some “interesting” debate in the absence of real substance. Roll on the next signing.
