Re: Pete Jameson
That will ruffle a few feathers, both those that were glad to see the back of him last time and those that don’t want Taylor dropped. Got to admit Tommy has been doing well for me lately but if the rumour is true, that’s two managers who think we need better in there. I’d have prioritised other are...

Re: Southport
As an exile i can only echo the majority of the above comments re the game itself...a huge task ahead to avoid the drop! Barrow, Nelson and Moke the best on the night....we looked poorer when the substitutions were made imho. In terms of the ground (council owned i think) i thought it was much tidi...

Re: Southport
Just got home from the match. Darlington tried hard, but were awful against a very poor side. Not a single player out there for Darlo who can say they had a decent match. No creativity, no pace, no edge at all. There was no threat going forward. Lots of possession, with either square passes or high...

Re: Southport
Let’s not kid ourselves, we are shocking. Absolutely toothless up front. Beaten yet again by a poor team. Need 2 midfielders who can create and 2 forwards who can get on the end of things or we are as good as down. Sorry to say this but even Hatfield has been awful the last few games and have no id...

Re: Southport
Toothless up front, far too many square passes, badly need a good wide man.

Re: Kings Lynn v Darlington 6/01/24
Great start and 100%+ commitment from all involved. Barrow was outstanding and puts into perspective some of the previous recent signings. Get a couple of creative players in and we may just have half a chance. Totally agree, interesting that SW went for good,experienced pro’s today and no sign of ...

Probably right. The time to have got him was in September when we had a clear run at it before JG rocked up from Grimsby with his data charts and head full of nonsense.

Re: Good luck Steve Watson
Regarding the assistant that he wants to bring in - Cummins is the most likely person given that he was assistant under Watson at Gateshead and York, but, Watson has also worked twice with John Askey as well at Macclesfield and York. He brought Askey in as his assistant at York after Cummins left. ...

MG doesn’t care about the first team. All he wants is the academy to go under so he has a monopoly on the college program. He spent the summer contacting prospective parents telling them the academy was going bust so they should join him instead. This outlines the very real conflict of interest the...

Re: Darlington V Bishops Stortford
What puzzles me is how in the space of 7 days we can go from a competent encouraging display against Gloucester to the unmotivated disaster against Bishops Stortford. It can only be down to the manager in my opinion. I presume the club cannot afford to pay up his contract and therefore we as owners...

Get rid immediately otherwise we will be relegated and that will be the end of the club. The Board need to grow a pair and act now. I think if we lose both games against Scarborough or even get a single point, his position would be untenable and leaves the board with no choice. Sent from my SM-A145...

Think it was mentioned he may have had a stomach bug, not 100% certain, but if he was fit to play that's a monumental mistake by Gowling not putting him on the bench.MikeinBlack2 wrote:Why wasn't Nelson in the squad? At least he is a striker. We are an utter shambles.

Re: Do it tonight Johnson
What gets me is that we signed him to be a man manager, but has made (correct me if I am wrong) 12 signings and only 4 have made the starting 11 today with 1 making the bench… so out of 16 players 5 are his. Adding a whole new starting 11 plus one sub in his short 3 months in charge isn’t the sign ...
