Re: 2 New Signings Today
So, Kneeshaw and...
If we're signing a left back (we already have O'Hanlon and Kokolo), I'd say that paves the way for O'Hanlon to be sold?

Totally agree, will find out this morning but will be amazed if O'Hanlon is still a Darlo player.Ghost_Of_1883 wrote:So, Kneeshaw and...

We will be playing at the arena again next season - fact.
Quakerz - if you actually attended games and spoke to people you might actually find our facts, rather than spreading s*** on this board.

Probably the most significant signing the club will make

Re: 2 New Signings Today
how do you know we are signing two players ... completely out of the blue a defender, do we really need one?

Well if one leaves, then yes we would do.OnTheTerraces wrote:how do you know we are signing two players ... completely out of the blue a defender, do we really need one?
*If* this is true, I think the defender would be a replacement on a one in one out.

And yep, if the new defender comes in, presumably either Kokolo or O'Hanlon will be off.

Re: 2 New Signings Today
oh, i dont read the echo
Re: 2 New Signings Today
Wonder if Kneeshaw's international clearance is already sorted.
Re: 2 New Signings Today
O'Hanlon isn't contracted for next season is he? So perhaps cutting our losses with whatever we can. I can't imagine Kokolo going anywhere, i assume he's here for free anyway.
Re: 2 New Signings Today
O'Hanlon was going to Kiddy a few weeks ago but it hit a snag. Presumably he'll be off now.
From a NL club. Pooly or Gateshead possibly?

Re: 2 New Signings Today
The defender is reported to be Aaron Cunningham of Hartlepool, played excellent against us for Blyth earlier in the season.

Re: 2 New Signings Today
Reported by whom?
You mean someone said on twitter.
It's not Cunningham.

Re: 2 New Signings Today
Good news. Looks like it's until the end of the season but with a view to next season if all works out.
Re: 2 New Signings Today
Yep we desperately need a Striker, good we have maybe the flexibility for next season if he plays well.LoidLucan wrote:Good news. Looks like it's until the end of the season but with a view to next season if all works out.
Re: 2 New Signings Today
Great signing, I think. Hope it works out

Re: 2 New Signings Today
Will be interesting to see what formation we go with tomorrow, esp with Hughes back and wanting to play. It looked like a 4-4-2 v Bishop with Henshall on the left and Thommo on the right, with Ainge and Harvey up front? A bit like how we finished at Curzon Ashton. I presume they’ll revert to 3-5-2 and play Hughes at the back with Smith and Tez but if he’s also signing a left back then maybe we’ve stumbled on a formation change.
Up front is more straightforward as we need to plan for life post-Harvey

Re: 2 New Signings Today
If Kneeshaw replaces Harvey, will we have to start calling him Wilson?
Re: 2 New Signings Today
No pressure Wilson but 5 goals tomorrow wouldn't go amiss

Will be interesting to see how much fitter Hughes will be as he could be an option in midfield as well

No. Wilson sounds too much like a surname. He's going to need a nickname.Ghost_Of_1883 wrote:If Kneeshaw replaces Harvey, will we have to start calling him Wilson?

"At a meeting held at the Grammar School on Friday last - Mr Phillip Wood M.A., in the chair - it was resolved to form an Association Football Club for Darlington and neighbourhood. The opinions of those present were so unanimous as to the desirability of this step, that a committee was formed to complete the organisation of the club, and Mr Craven, 17, Garden Street, was appointed secretary pro tem." - The Northern Echo, Monday 23rd July 1883
Re: 2 New Signings Today
Hopefully turns out well, I remember one game that was televised where he hit the bar twice in the space of a minute with two long throw ins. Obviously they wouldn’t have counted but hopefully we can utilise them with the return of Hughes
You can see the throws from about 0:50 onwards: https://youtu.be/m6IuUBfeprk

Re: 2 New Signings Today
Great to have Hughes back in contention, although may be a bit early for him to start & probably better to ease him back via the bench rather than straight 90 minutes. He is capable of playing a number of positions and gives TW plenty of options, especially if he comes off the bench, for example as replacement for Ainge or a CB, even midfield.
Also happy to see Kneeshaw getting another chance as he could fill the slot when HS leaves for Fleetwood and until then, he provides another attacking option up front.
Nice to see recognition of Galbraith & his services being secured for another 12 month.
Puzzled as to the left-sided signing if it is Sam Muggleton, but could be the kind of defensive to put beef into mid-field. Good to have Palmer extending his loan period. Either way, it appears that it helps to provide cover if O'Hanlon leaves.
Just as important is the arrival of the new finance director. We need to keep improving both on and off the pitch.

Re: 2 New Signings Today
You beat me to it 2807. He has an amazing throw, can tackle and put in a decent cross. Considering he's played 18 times this season I can't believe he's come to us.
Re: 2 New Signings Today
Signed by Martin Allen at Chesterfield who has since left meaning Muggleton has been made surplus to requirements. I’m sure Chesterfield broke two records this season - the longest unbeaten run and the longest winless run both clocked up concurrentlydon'tbuythesun wrote:You beat me to it 2807.

Re: 2 New Signings Today
Not sure where O'Hanlon and Kokolo fit into the team if Muggleston gets the nod.This guy can put a throw in from the halfway line into the 6 yard box, seen him do it for York and could be some weapon for Hughes and Ainge.
