Apart from Nelson and Lambert the bench is not that strong and interested in how Cooper , Ellis and Storey fit in next week?
Surprised to read this given we had Purver, Mondal and Rose as unused subs on Saturday!

Re: Darlington v Hereford Saturday 9th October 2021

Sure - not saying I want Purver there all the time, just making the comment that both him and Hedley (both midfielders at the end of the day) did well on a makeshift basis to play RB and LB (given Hedley is predominantly right-footed).

Re: Darlington v Hereford Saturday 9th October 2021

Purver isn't a RB, no, and Ben Hedley isn't a LB either - but didn't both of them do well when called upon?

The detail is excellent, cant imagine many other clubs, fan owned or not, undertaking this level of analysis / engagement, we really do have it very good. Just take a look at Chester or York’s recent woes for comparison

They are looking for additional DFCSG Directors if anyone interested and Neil Raper is standing down but good he’s staying on as company secretary. It is great news as Neil does a lot of vital work for DFC - bright as a button, 110% committed and a total grafter. Lovely bloke, too. I'm biased, of c...

Re: Fan owned club

Well said. At the time of the administration, I would have taken another investor (if one had emerged) to save the Club and maintain it's position in the pyramid.

Re: Fan owned club

It's the de-risked nature of the model that I love. If a fan can't commit to ownership or BTB this season, another fan who couldn't the year before will. Previously we've been at the total will of one person's interest/intentions/behaviour. Right now, we're not. The fan ownership model also sits nic...

Re: Best Darlo Fan Owned XI - YOURCLUB

When we put the long lists together we didn't let personal views on players dictate who was included and who wasn't.

To be fair, that it what the voting process does. If enough fans don't think that James was good enough, then he won't wind up in the final XI.
