Re: Blood on hands/heads must roll

How many times under Gowling did we bemoan playing well, but not really hurting the opposition? It is kind of happening under Watson now. Never. We never played well under Gowling. Every game was tedious negative plodding dogshit and I hate him for it. Under Watson, although results haven't really ...

Nope, which is absolutely the correct position to take.

Re: Reset

Correct me if I am wrong but aren’t Hereford and Boston under ownership, both similar to us ex EFL teams who have been stagnating in the NLN like us for years. Not so sure if either have a "super fan" or two turbo charging their fan ownership model, but Scarborough are also fan owned with similar t...

Re: South Shields v Darlo

Let’s try and be a bit creative with the squad……..no…..let’s pick the same midfield that hasn’t worked all season and creates almost nil opportunities. Platt, Hatfield, Liddle as our midfield again is a shocker!! Honestly am beginning to doubt SW just a little bit. As above and still seems unable t...

However, there is a wider-issue that needs addressing regarding the communication. Asante is a perfect example. He has been brought in to be our main c...

Re: Any new faces

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...

Re: Blood on hands/heads must roll

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...

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...

Re: Darlington v Alfreton 10/02/24

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...

Re: Darlington v Alfreton 10/02/24

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...

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.
