So you are saying no York player is good enough to play for us just because they are below us in the league.C’mon Pete.

Would love nothing more than Tommy being a big success at our club alongside AW, such a likeable bloke who comes across so well at interviews.

Just looked like a fair result. Two sides that opened each other up, neither of which looked very solid when put under pressure. It probably summed up where we are as a team. We can knock the ball about fairly well on occasions but we don't look a consistently well drilled, solid side, especially w...

If you think that most fans will be happy at end of season as long as we end with a small profit and no further debt, then you definitely don’t talk to the fans that I know.! Let’s me honest, with the amount of additional income that has come into club in last 12 months, then even a mention of any ...

I've heard that Alfreton paid 60k for Reece. Tops what we paid last season & also takes a hefty wage off the wage bill. If that is correct then how can we refuse that sort of figure at our level, plus it gives Harvey a great chance to develop with extra games.No brainier IMO. Sent from my iPad usin...

Different venue for the AGM, apparently the rugby club wanted £150 to use the bar area for the meeting. Thats a pish take if true Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk And this is why many Darlo fans are so fed up with the attitude of the rugby club.No time for them to be honest. Sent from my iPad u...

There was no luck about it, just hard work from an honest group of lads. I had no doubts about TW, hopefully now we have steered to calmer waters, we will start to see what our team is capable of. Rock on Tommy. I still think we have a very decent squad of players to improve even further and I woul...

People seem to forget that Galbraith was moved to centre half because he was always getting caught out at left back. Totally disagree, when was he always getting caught out at left back.We need more physicality in the team and certainly worth moving Ben O’Hanlon forward would be worth considering a...

I'd be amazed if Styche isn't in the starting line up. Think he may be on the bench and we start with Ainge and Harvey.Thought Nicholson looked good against FCUM and could get the nod over Henshall.I fancy us for a win on Saturday as we should have a good bench as back up especially with Reece back...

Is Galbraith mobile enough to play central midfield at this level? Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk Considering he couldn’t at the level below I’d seriously doubt it. If he hadn’t found his place at centre back he wouldn’t be at the club these days. Utter rubbish, he is still a very good LB and ...

Glover and Elliott together are too lightweight, Galbraith is a far better option.

We have never had a settled midfield for whatever reasons and this is the key area for me.Personally I would like a more physical presence,IMO Elliott and Nicholson are similar types of players and would certainly slot Syers back into the team and possibly consider Tez for a midfield role with Burn ...

is it going to take injuries to force TW into playing the formation we think is a success? I'd imagine when TW signed Ainge he told him he'd be playing every game - and may well have said the same to Styche. Would be a hard chat to have with either of them if he changed formation through choice.......

I was stood directly behind in line when their left back scored yesterday - as soon as he hit it I could see it was going in - it was a cracker to be fair and I doubt many keepers at this level of football would have saved it. The lad is a young keeper - a good shot stopper - looks as though he is ...

Regarding our formation, Kev Luff made a point which I agree with re: our formations and particularly with regard to 4-4-2. It could work for us, but only with 2 stonking centre halves. We have found one in Hughes. If Terry Galbraith can be the other and these two can form a good partnership, and o...

We seem very lightweight in midfield, would have put Tez in instead of Glover and a big blow being without Syers and Wheatley.Will do well to get anything out of this game to be honest.

I see Caton is getting harassed by some of our fans on Twitter. Immature and pointless to say the least Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The family club. That'll be The Dingles then. I’ve seen it happen before but Caton has reacted this time. Sad really. Doesn’t really help appeal to players to j...

You can talk about formations until the cows come home but it doesn’t make a blind bit of difference if players aren’t doing the basics All successful teams plan from the back and work forward, get the defence nice and strong and you always have a chance.We are the opposite, get your attacking opti...

I was trying not to make my comments about fitness player specific. I agree with you that some of the comments recently have been out of order, but bear in mind many (myself included) were not aware of an underlying pre existing health condition. I do wonder whether for some of our players the foot...

Gray must be distraught with this, given a massive budget and the thought of getting York promoted and the move to a brand new stadium was a massive incentive to leave us for them.Just wonder if he has any regrets looking back on the success he had with us and possibly thinking he should have shown ...

What we are lacking is a holding midfielder who sits in front of the back four and gives them some extra protection in the way Turnbull did. Wheatley and Elliott both like to get forward, one of them needs to stay back when the other goes forward. Yes I agree, Wheatley and Elliott are too similar a...

We need some kind of back to basics look at our defensive set-up. We've conceded in every game and shipped a total of 12 in five matches now which is not good enough. Yes we have been able to get teams on the back foot with our attacking options but we won't get anywhere unless we can be more solid...

Makes up for the Curzon defeat anyway...

Fantastic result and looking at today’s results, this league is wide open.Roll on Wednesday, cannot wait.

Well that was much better, thought we deserved the win in the end but only just. Wheatley was excellent, plenty of work for Wright to do but he has enough decent players to get results if he can get them setup and up for every game. Ainge and Styche showed a better partnership developing tonight. D...

Massive improvement tonight from Saturday they equalised in the 90min, but we should have had the game sown up long before then. I have faith in the team again with this much improved performance. Get down to Blackwell next Wednesday for the blyth game. Well done everyone keep improving. Jason ansl...

It's a similar to situation to when Wright spoke about the financial/budget situation he inherited. MG hated the inference that he had put the club in danger due to reckless spending and Wright had to sort the mess out. When that went into print, Gray clearly demanded to have his say and stated tha...

It's england, the world doesn't stop turning because of the weather, if you want to help make it a good day turn up and help make it so. You can make it better by being there at Blackwell meadow 2pm kick off, rain subsiding through early afternoon according to the forecast. Exactly, get down and su...

Whoever it is has scored for them.According to tweets, the trialist is having a good game.
