Still on the fence. He turned it round from an almost identical situation last season, everyone saying he'd lost the dressing room etc, but this can't continue. I'd give him Saturday.

Not a bad point Mobi. He did do well at Kettering in the league mind.

Well, you could say he had a good spell at Kettering, whether you could say he consistently got results over a sustained period is another. Crucially, he had money to spend.

He should at least get the next two games. Newport and Bath are currently bottom and second bottom. We can't possibly be this bad, we must have win in us against those two. If not he has to go.

He has Saturday to save his skin, he needs to win and win well. We can't waste these 7 or 8 relatively easy games as if we do it's season over

I agree. Two 'easy games' to try and get some belief back. Build from there.

If we struggle through those two, i'll be firmly in the 'out' camp.

6 games and no wins. 8 games and no wins and I'd give him the boot.

Fuck me we are a fickle lot. Cooper has given us the best moment for 30years and wecwant him out for a s*** start to the league. He could have easily have fucked off to Grimsby but choose to stay with us so let's try and give him so loyalty. He can do a job for us but clearly something isn't right and it needs sorting quickly. Let's hope for a good Saturday. It's going to be fairly quiet as I can see a lot off stay aways.

To be this comprehensively beaten by Southport at home says it all - he has to go!

He's a great cup manager, nobody would argue with that. He can organise a team to go out and battle as underdogs no problem, but when he is in charge of team that goes into most games expected to win, he can't get results.

He's lost the players, that was clear tonight. Crystal clear. He won't come back from this.

Hauling Purkiss off after 20 minutes, WTF was that was about? OK Purkiss was as poor as anybody else, but did he deserve to be singled out (and then mocked by the crowd) like that?

He's lost the senior players and the rest of the dressing room has followed.

He's only contracted until the end of the season, worst comes to the worst you continue to pay him and Dryden until then. Obviously that means that there's not as much money for a new man but I'd imagine if we send Purcell, Purkiss and Atkinson back as well as cancel Brough's deal that should free some budget up

Perhaps, but we can't afford a poor season in the conference. Raj will walk.

I really believe all the loan signings have been gash and added nothing. Send them all back but raj will still have to fork out a fair amount to get rid. Is he prepared to flush more cash down the darlo well!!!

This is what I hate about football nowadays, all this lost the players crap. Why should a bunch of average NON LEAGUE journeyman be able to hold a club to ransom, in effect saying that unless we change the manager they are not going to try. It's one thing Carlos Tevez trying it on, another when it's some never has-been. It shows a total lack of respect for those fans forking out £18 to see their team, as well as a lack of professional and personal pride. Keep Cooper and ship the bloody lot of them out. If he fails, it should be because his team's not good enough, not because they've spat their dummies out, and aren't trying.

Harry's cat is correct.

Raj Singh has appointed the manager to manage his football team and he does this by telling the staff how to go about their jobs. No different to any other workplace.

If (we don't really know whether this is happening or not but let's go along with the popular view anyway) some have decided not to do as they are instructed, or only do it to the minimum standard to meet their own desires, then they should be shipped out.

I think the cat may have worded his post in such a way that everybody should be shipped out, I'm sure he didn't mean it - I'm sure he only meant those who are allegedly trying to hold the club to ransom.

Remember, the majority are here because there were no better offers on the table; if they get slung out of Darlo, there's not a great chance of moving onto better things so you'd only have to sling one out - any others would soon step into line.
Alun's promise to the fans: “I’ll make sure I’ll bring players in that are value for money and I want players that want to play for Darlington Football Club, want to progress and move up the league and show the fans that passion.”

Exactly, Mr Quatermain.

If they succeed this time, who is to say they'll get on any better with the next manager. I'm most upset with the fact that some people will have forked out a hard earned £18 last night, not knowing that "some players" had decided the outcome of the match already.

If they don't want to play for Cooper, make it known beforehand, and let him pick from those who do give a toss.
