Re: Darlington V Bishops Stortford

That was a terrible performance today, we just didn't seem to have any clue how to beat BS. The pitch was terrible today, the ball was bobbling all over the place. But it was the same for BS as for us. No doubt we'll win on Tuesday. Credit to the BS fans who make the long journey up when your botto...

Great to hear that Newcastle Thunder have been re-admitted to Division 1, after a change of ownership. :thumbup:

Re: New signing Cardo Siddik

Blimey we're signing a non-British player, sounds like a Hodgy type player. Great attitude turning down higher level football to get regular first team football. A potentially great signing for us, welcome to the club Cardo.

Boxing Day at Scarborough

Really looking forward to this game, hopefully on the back of a win against Bishop Stortford. I've already got my ticket for the game, as they can only be bought online before the game. Hopefully there will be no repeat of the crowd incidents last season, but we get the same result!!!

On a separate note, I’ll never understand the meltdown when Sukar gets dropped. Lawlor is better, no matter what people want to say, so it’s a no brainer he comes in. It was a no brainer to play Burton when we had him too. Probably since people were praising Gowlings handling of Sukar and how the p...

Great result glad Asante got so many minutes on the pitch. Well donexall. We have narrowed the gap, hope at last.
Played the whole game I think.

Great team performance, despite almost everybody being against Josh, he does seem to be turning the ship around. Asante certainly looks a real deal. I make that 8 points out of the last 15 available, which is certainly not relegation form. I think we can get out of this mess. Well done Josh keep up ...

As a Hodgie fan I too would be concerned about how long he's been out of management. He'd maybe make a good "caretaker" type manager if we ever get stuck - probably better than roping players in.

Darlo-Pete however will be frothing at the mouth. :D
I certainly would be. :thumbup:

It's good to see JG being on the pitch looking at the players before the game. AA was never to be seen before the match. I do think that the players are behind JG, they seem to enjoy their pre-match warm ups. It's good to hear that the players are enjoying their training.

Whatever Asante is on it's a waste of scarce resources - he's being paid for cantering around for ten minutes or so, seeming to be quite unfit then it's the usual just wait and see we get from the club. They could tell us honestly when he's likely to be fit. What must the other players think of thi...
