Darlo Uncovered

Why do threads always descend into personal point-scoring? I don't really care if someone thought Gowling should have been given more time, or if Martin Gray was the only man to get us out of the mess, or if the signing of an injured Asante was an egregious assault on our very existence as a fan ow...

Yesterday was a truly tremendous day. From start to finish Darlington was the best side, creating chance after chance and closing down opposition players as soon as they had the ball. Last Christmas I was miserable. After seeing another inept side to side and backwards display under the previous man...

H T winning 2-0 After a strong start two goals up after ten minutes, we allowed Southport back in to the gamej, strong winds will be against us in the second half.

I overheard one of our players rightly asking the linesman what the hell he was up to. He must have known he was in the wrong because (unlike earlier in the game) he didn't go telling tales to the ref. To compound an inept performance he became clever with our player taking a corner, making him dela...

I've been looking forward to this fixture all week and couldn't wait for it to come round. Saturday at last!
Come on lads, keep them out at our end and stick some in at the other! Up the Quakers!

Me personally I would go full strength at Rushall and hopefully get the win which realistically barring a complete capitulation would see us pretty much safe. Then I'd be giving a day off to the likes of Barrow, Main, Cornish in the Chorley game. That is the one remaining game where the players sti...

Yes it does feel like a promotion run in doesn't it?
Who knew that a relegation dog fight could be so exciting
.
One of the highlights for me yesterday was seeing Matty leap and punch the air when we scored, and seeing the reaction of the players at the whistle. They're a team now.

1-0 Salkeld

Still 0-0 but we have made a very wobbly start to the second half.

30 mins gone and pretty even but you wonder how some people get to be referees. He's having a howler.

This game has all the hallmarks of a massive banana skin to me. There is a sense of real expectancy among the fans, moderate opposition who have a couple of our ex players in their squad, and probably a decent crowd. If we can win our next 2 games we will be very close to pulling off the great esca...

I can understand that Pete because yesterday's match was a thrilling spectacle and at times I thought we looked like a promotion side. As well as that they'd have been close up to the action and much nearer to the players than at the Boro. We take that for granted but at some of the bigger grounds t...

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).

3-1 90+1 Salkeld.

Penalty missed, we score from rebound 2-1

1-1 straight from kick off. Over our keeper's head.

1-0

30 mins gone, Darlington having the better of it. Crackling and buzzing loud speaker in the tin shed driving us mad.

I really enjoyed watching this game, the first I've seen since Watson took over. Heading back up Wensleydale tonight it struck me what a difference has occurred since Gowling left. There was little or no side to side and backwards stuff, instead they seemed to enjoy going forward. Hatfield blocked a...

2-0

1 -0 Liddle

I'm glad these posts appeared, I thought something was wrong with my phone.

I’d honestly like to see Martin Gray back until end of season and then review he has the passion and with almost unfinished business after seat gate - he’s hopefully learned a lot and and a less a expensive choice as he has his own business, I’m not sure we have the luxury of Director of Football n...

I was very unimpressed with the circumstances behind Gray's departure, however if he was offered a deal until the end of the season and he managed to pull us out of this mess - then I'd go with that. Me too, if he let us up he'd be forgiven for everything. At least he'd put some tackle and aggressi...

I'm assuming we are being as polite as usual to the opposing team, afraid to tackle and not getting stuck in.

Incredible we were top of the league last Christmas.
Tis the wheel of fortune.

Absolutely garbage, no heart, no desire, no commitment, and totally devoid of any game plan, sorry JG you’ve had a go and failed, so move on and let someone else try and keep us up, because you won’t. DJ talked of a “maybe “ mini BTB , nobody will put anything in if JG is still in post. That's exac...

Ten minutes left and a look of terror appears on the face of one of our players as he realises he's in the opponents penalty area and there's no-one out wide to pass to. About sums it up.
