Darlo v Chester

[The_Natural]

Great post
Time for everyone to back Gowling and the team now and shake off this miasma of negativity that’s been
Over the club the last 9 months !

3-2 win, 33/1 with Betfred

Did you place a bet? Fair play to the team and management, off the bottom and now potentially 6 points from safety if you allow for current goal difference we probably need that extra point.
On to Tuesday now.

Only small stakes, but enough to get me down the pub today. Onwards and upwards, the season starts here.

Trebles all round! What price us beating Scunny & winning the Trophy?

What a day Darlo on the up ,the wife's 70th Birthday...our 23rd wedding Anniversary and late last night be-ing told our sixth Grandchild is on the way.

[MB86DFC]

Superb result. Even though we conceded two, we didn’t collapse so encouragement can be taken from this resilience. Glad the 5 at the back seems to be gone.

[Spyman]

Just read that Chester's team bus broke down on the way up and they had to hitch a ride on the supporters coach and arrived to the ground late.

A great, and well needed result, especially us showing significant resilience under the cosh in the second half.

Would anyone be able to type up the formation/line-up for us exiles?

Just not their day

I see the Echo are saying Hazel could be on his way:

"Hazel had been dropped from the starting XI, replaced by Andrew Nelson, and there are now question marks over his future at the club with Scarborough and Farsley Celtic understood to be interested in signing him."

He did perhaps have the look of a player whose mind might be elsewhere.

[The_Natural]

Gowling obviously has some opinions on players and needs to wheel and deal to get who he wants….hopefully he gets it right

That’s a bit of an understatement, his attitude and effort in his brief appearance yesterday was nothing short of appalling

That is grossly unfair. He didn’t have a great impact when he came on but to traduce his attitude is disproportionate and insulting.

If he did go to another team in the NLN I would bet my life savings on him scoring on his next visit to Blackwell Meadows.

Indeed.

Literally all of the people I was stood near started shouting at him as soon as he got onto the pitch and didn't chase a ball that was impossible to get to. Their irritation with him wasn't based on the reality of the situation, but based on a deep seated need to scapegoat someone. I bet Hazel can't wait to get away from this place.

Good luck at Scarborough or Farsley Jacob, where you'll no doubt bang 20 goals in, once again.

Absolutely.

I'd hope he wouldn't shithouse the Darlo fans after scoring the absolutely inevitable goal/goals, but let's be honest some of them would deserve it.

[LoidLucan]

For a few reasons, maybe it has come to the point where he needs a new challenge, as they say. In general he doesn't look that happy. But I agree, with the right service and alongside a targetman in the right system, he has goals in him at this level, as shown last season. And there's nowt so certain that we'd be on the receiving end.

[en passant]

Amazing that for season after season we dreamt of having a striker who could get 20+ goals, and now we do some fans can't wait to get rid of him.

[onewayup]

I said it many times Jacob Hazel is a goal scorer he needs to have a target man beside him to allow him to run onto the ball , his work rate of the ball is good some fans can't see the wood from the trees.I would back Jacob to come good with the right setup

I might be wrong and know it was a level below but didn’t Hazel play as the central striker in a 3 with Whitby before he came to us ?

Even if he did surely he’s proven over the last 6 months that he can’t do that for us at this level?

Even if he did it was at a lower level. He can’t do that role at NLN

[theoriginalfatcat]

There was an unusual booking near the end of the game. Ngandu went down dramatically clutching his head but the ref just ignored him - this situation went on for quite a bit longer until the next passage of play, then at that point Ngandu popped up again and just continued playing.

The ref then booked him, for what we presumed was feigning a head injury, which is probably what happened to be fair.

The way he was banding around yellow cards for both teams, you’d think he was getting a bonus for each one. Can’t remember one bad challenge in the game.

[theoriginalfatcat]

He booked a number of Chester players for dissent. T.T for time wasting. Quite a number of the yellows were unnecessary or harsh.

Have you been watching the games with your eyes-shut? Workrate? His workrate on Saturday was non-existent. That last 15 minutes he should have been busting a gut for the team, Will Hatfield was doing more running than him and he’d been on for the previous 85 minutes.

People need to get over this notion of he’s out of position, he needs a big target man. If you’re asked to do a job for your team by a manager, you do it regardless with the same determination and workrate. Whether he’s playing centre forward or right wing I expect him to put a shift in

[LoidLucan]

That ref has now booked 47 players in his 8 matches so far this season. I'll bet the suspensions come thick and fast this season.

Hes the sort of ref that will fly up the leagues because he makes the FA money.
Good refs like Lucy Oliver get denied promotion because they take a more lenient view rather than dishing out bookings like confetti.

[don'tbuythesun]

Time wasting drives me mad. I'm all for clamping down on it. As for the dissent the same goes. I'm fed up of players surrounding the ref and we don't know what was said so maybe those cards were deserved.

I didn't see one incident where he could have got to the ball and didn't because he didn't run. Oh, I know he could have charged around like a headless chicken, getting nowhere near it, and you'd have been cock a hoop. Didn't he nearly score when he charged the keeper down at the end?
The Darlo osmosis effect in action again - few people bang on about him on Tin Shed, and suddenly it's gospel, and the sheep all bleat the same.

[Darlo_Rob]

Hazel can score goals, there's no doubt about this, but I was shot down last season when I said the rest of his game is in general poor. This can be summed up easily when he failed to put Hatfield through with the simplest of balls on Saturday.

A lot of the time he's a bit of a passenger in games and when he's on a relatively barren run, this gets heightened.
