Darlo Uncovered

He says he will be playing again this season despite suffering setbacks in his recovery from a bad injury. Is said to be one of the higher earners at Kiddy. Some player if fit and still not yet 30 but no doubt the injuries have taken a toll. I could imagine he's looking for part-time now. As well a...

He's an Alfreton player who was dual registered with Ossett.

I don't actually think the average crowd is much different this season to last.

Although the outgoings will be a fair bit more!

The bit that really grates on me is how DJ and the board reacted to Mark Beck leaving. We were told targets were unaffordable, expectations were dampened, and ultimately AA’s budget was reduced. At the time we nodded along but given the disastrous appointment of JG who was given a significantly inc...

DJ has led us to a path of success, over the last few years while keeping the finances in check, so not going into administration again, and 6 leagues down. There have been innovations like the way you can pay by tapping on a terminal to pay which were led by the board members, (very rare at other ...

1 They roll around, waste time, break up play, tug shirts, they utilise every trick in the book - not just a few times, but as a fully blown ideology right through a match. Watching them play football is a dull, boring and frustrating afternoon and if I lived in Alfreton I'd rather stay in bang my ...

This was always the argument against sacking Gowling, just throwing good money after bad in a losing cause

Let's be clear, there was no argument against sacking Clowning.

The only argument was that we didn't boot giggles soon enough.

Who are you going for exactly? Salkeld, Curry, Rivers, Nelson? Sadly, all of the above have been given shedloads of opportunities and have proven to not be good enough. Curry has been injured for much of the season so it's unfair to say he's had shedloads of opportunities. Although yesterday he did...

Broken record I know! , but how come we still have not signed a couple of creative players. They have been here long enough now surely to have made this happen. You telling me that the 3 N East big clubs don’t have any decent players who would benefit from a loan. If it was as easy as that they wou...

Let's be brutally honest here. We're going down. I didn't believe it until yesterday, in fact at half time yesterday I was confident we would win. But the old weaknesses showed again yesterday. Handed them 2 goals and at the other end huffed and puffed with no end result. To be fair the Alfreton kee...

With just 8 home games left, it is really important we get a good run of home form going. The last one, when we beat Hereford was more like it, and we need more of the same on Saturday against Alfreton. We will have to see exactly who is available, but would think we might go with a back 4 of Griff...

The only thing they should apologize for is doling out a 2 year contract to Armstrong ! If they're gonna be apologising for that, they also need to apologise for cutting his budget despite a record BTB, and apologise for the appointment of Clowning and the decision to back him in getting rid of Haz...

Read my reply properly.
By the way, break clauses only apply to property contracts.

Anyone who has ever worked for an agency can tell you that their 6 month contract means nothing. You can be let go at any time, with only a week's notice, for a million and one different reasons.

I notice the usual suspects were out on Twitter as soon as the full time whistle went. Going to Brackley with heavy legs after a long trip to Banbury was never going to be easy yet they are complaining like this is not good enough and this result has relegated us. Getting something at Brackley was a...

Not great by Taylor, no need to bring his man down according to DFR.

When has anything said by DFR away ever been based in reality?

That's sounds like a pretty good summary of the situation IMO. It is a good summary but it doesn’t suit 97s narrative that the club is being mismanaged. Don’t know if he has some personal grudge with some people at the club, or is just a serial moaner, but either way he is beginning to sound like a...

Oh well, just another goal today for Jacob Hazel, that’s 5 goals & 3 assists for him in 13 appearances at Boston. Meanwhile Akwasi Asante sits out another week on big wages. He is our 007 at the moment. 0 Goals 0 Assists 7 Appearances Criminal. Every week I become more and more bitter about this. I...

You wish to rubbish rumours that don't suit your point So it is a rumour ;) 97 - things would be simpler if you just said/wrote something along the lines of "I reckon Asante is on huge huge money" instead of making out that you know, because you don't know that he is, anymore than I don't know that...

The fact Armstrong and Asante are still likely going to be costing us next year is frightening Is that a fact? I’d heard we weren’t paying AA anymore? What do you know?! He knows fuck all.He needs counselling. Aye you can just terminate 2 year contracts for a couple of months salary.. :wtf: Unless ...

On this and other social media I’ve seen disgruntled, angry fans vent their frustration with demands that board members and other officials must pay the price for the series of mistakes made this season and last. In adddition we have the unedifying spectacle of twitter verbal punch ups between fans...

- Employing Josh Gowling despite 99% of the fanbase knowing it was a bad decision Overdoing it here Sam! There might have been a number of people who reserved judgement, a number of people who thought it was a strange decision but I remember his first game - it was a sunny day, there was a good atm...

Looking forward to today's preview "Asante will have a fitness test on a groin injury"! Bang on the money, the preview says exactly that. This was a quote back in July after he underwent 'minor surgery' on this groin injury: When asked how long he is set to be out for, Webb replied: “It will be a f...

My patience is definitely wearing thin if he's contracted for next season. If that's the case it's a ridiculous decision. Had he come in fit, playing regularly and scoring goals that would put a different slant on it. Sure I read his contract is this season and next when he signed. I am sorry but i...

Same issue, zero creativity. Hatfield & Platt both tough, hard working midfielders but neither of them can create literally anything. Liddle back to non existent self. Cannot win games with those 3 together. We can't win games with Lees and Lawlor together either. They just aren't solid consistentl...

Not convinced Siddik is travelling up from London to play in the division below.

Well we need to stay up then don't we.

HUFC manager. https://youtu.be/yeorSVSUd7k Sour grapes or what? Doesn't seem to have good word about our performance - simply says they were rubbish, which they weren't IMO. They were rubbish, and we were good. No one could have complained if we had won 5-0. We were good yes, but they competed, had...
