Re: Darlington V Peterborough Sports

Next week reminds me of our game v Colchester in 89. Not win or bust, but certainly not lose. I say that because Bishops Stortford is one of their games in hand. 89 was roles reversed, as we were on an OK run, but Colchester was on a great run, and we crumbled under the pressure of the occasion. Wi...

Re: Darlington V Peterborough Sports

We would have lost that game over the last 12 months. Watson is getting the best from this group of players and for some of them, we are seeing why Armstrong brought them in, Platt, Lees and Salkeld in particular Yep, Cam Salkeld just keeps getting better as his confidence grows. Really needed some...

On the positive side, no risk of a 10 point deduction for going into administration or Financial Fair Play penalty.

Re: The Bottom Ten, Tuesday Mar 12th 2024

Points on the board are better than games in hand for Banbury given the state of their pitch & internal strife. We just need to keep winning & Steve W plus Terry have the nous to keep us up (with the crowd behind them!)

Re: Blyth V Darlington

Massive win & seemed in control most of the game, apart from last 15 minutes. Credit to Steve W & Terry, in fact the whole team & travelling support. I think we could easily get some of the nail bars in town as sponsors or at least pay for an advertising hoarding at BM.

Re: Needed points minimum

Worried with how knackered they all look. Desperately need some new bodies in but doesn't seem to be any whiff of that. We're a Cedric Main injury away from disaster. I was thinking that about Main yesterday. If he got nobbled we would be in bother. You are forgetting about Asante who is only two m...

Re: What's the point of fan ownership?

Ask any Rochdale fan who are currently in dire financial trouble e.g. need £2M to avoid liquidation. There are now 2 interested parties after an EGM decided to dilute the fans ownership by issuing 9 million new shares but seeking to retain the "golden share" which would allow them to protect the nam...

Re: Darlo V Scunthorpe

Form table from the last 5 games has us 2nd with 12 points and Scunny 16th with only 5 which is a lot better than it was when we were due to play them originally. The most important thing for me is we don't pick up any more injuries and that our heads don't drop it we do lose, because they are a go...

You know what, when I was looking at Matty warming up, windmilling his arms and flinging them from side to side I thought I was watching Tony Moor! That used to be what he used to do before every game.(Note to younger readers, he was our keeper in the 1960s and quite a good one). Good enough that E...

Re: Darlington v Buxton

For a long time looked like Buxton would benefit from a stupid mix-up of an OG but eventually with a couple of decent & timely subs, more attacking & forward passes, we were richly rewarded with 2 late goals to give us a glimmer of hope + 3 vital points.

Re: Darlington v Buxton

Looking at the injured list, surely Sukar must be recalled. Having a young GK playing behind a scratch defence does not bode well, yet it is another game that we must win to have any chance of avoiding relegation.

Perhaps Ben Houchen, Corney, Musgrave et al may be looking for a club like us to invest some of the profits from STDC and a new community stadium somewhere up Skerningham? Downside, we would probably have to change our name to Darlo Tees Valley playing at the Gibson Ground. 😆
