Re: Retained list
I thought it was Main , Nelson and Hatfield under contract for next season - with doubts over Asante (I have a feeling his is contracted though)

Re: Darlington V Chorley
Rivers is fine to bring on for 20 minutes if you have a lead and you just need someone to keep the ball but his influence when starting games is minimal. You cant have been there on saturday then, Rivers was one of the few that had a good game and also played Main through for the first goal. :crazy...

Re: Darlington V Chorley
I think I would try something different against Chorley, we know they are a good team and one we don't traditionally do well with. Young Griffiths - Lees - Lawler / Siddick (if fit) - Barrow Headley - Hatfield - Platt Cornish Main - Rutlidge Rationale for me is that Headley has looked good going fo...

Re: Moke gone
For me is keep the following -
Griffiths , Hedley , Lees , Barrow , Platt , Hatfield, Salkeld , Cornish , Nelson , Main
Undecided on Lindley and Rivers at this point , the rest I think we should move on

Re: Darlington v Buxton
Where’s Windass, ? Anyone. Not that he’s a big miss, just someone else on the wage bill I suppose. Gone I think He trained last week , not sure if things have changed now Squad looks really thin at the minute with the amount of injuries , I’m really surprised we haven’t got anyone in on loan as yet

Re: Darlington v Alfreton 10/02/24
I’d go with as close to the same side and shape that comprehensively beat Hereford
Siddick in for Lawlor if Lawlor is out and maybe Barrow in for Hedley - the rest id keep the same unless we can somehow add a winger or two before Saturday

Great signing, highly regarded at Gateshead and York before his recent injuries.

Can he bring Cedric Main with him too - must have played at Blyth under Terry Mitche...

Re: Who next?
There's zero evidence to suggest that Martin Gray has the skillset required in our current situation. He succeeded when he had the biggest, or one of the biggest budgets in the division, while he was supported by a scout who had huge knowledge of the local non League game in Harry Dunn. He's not wo...

Re: Gloucester (A)
On a separate note, I’ll never understand the meltdown when Sukar gets dropped. Lawlor is better, no matter what people want to say, so it’s a no brainer he comes in. It was a no brainer to play Burton when we had him too. Probably since people were praising Gowlings handling of Sukar and how the p...

Re: Darlington V Rushall
We have taken 8 points from 6 games - an average of 1.333 points per game
If we can keep this up over the next 26 games that would give us 50 points - would that keep us up ?
We can’t afford to be throwing points away like we have this week though
