Former Goalscorers
Interesting to see Declan Howe and Amar Purewal top scorers in the 2 divisions below us. Howe has 26 and Amar 30.
Seems Stockton bottled automatic promotion. Hebburn's to lose now. Expect Stockton will get up via play-offs.

Re: Once the dust settles...
I am not sure that even close to a majority of clubs are 'properly going for a play off place'...wouldn't suggest it is the norm by any stretch. I disagree. I reckon 50% of clubs properly go for a playoff place. We are basically at the end of the season and ten clubs are in with a shout of a play o...

Re: Asante Starts
Agree Loan Star. Haven't seen anything to suggest the guy is "swinging the lead" or doesn't want to get fit. Blaming his presence for almost taking us down is also complete rubbish.

What is the point of a reserve keeper who you will never use under any circumstances then? If you are paying them, play them.

Re: Any new faces
Scott Barrow was signed by Steve Watson. Josh gowling signs old crocks like Asante. That was my point. Gowling signed a crock in Asante. Watson signed a crock in Barrow. Very little difference in the last 12 months for the pair of them, but you can't say Asante was typical of the type of player Gow...

Re: Blood on hands/heads must roll
Sorry, are we saying we have a GK coach who doesn't actually attend training sessions and just turns up to games when Newcastle aren't playing (presume the suggestion here is he's a Newcastle fan and is watching them play, rather than working?).

The number of amateurish mistakes that have been made is horrendous, but hey, we can always do a third BTB or rattle a few buckets if more "mistakes" are made. And therein lies the problem, mistakes are made and the fans have to bail it out. Very easy to gamble with other peoples money when there’s...

No - waiting for someone to suggest we channel Cyril Knowles through a medium.

Mate, when The Tin Shed has suggestions that the 5 most "vocal" fans should get to sit on the interview panel and choose the next manager, nothings too bizarre.

Re: Who next?
If people have to hark back to that era, then I think Atkinson has proved himself more suitable with what he's done with Aycliffe with, I would assume, a limited budget.

So a guy who has been out of management for 5 years is the best we can hope for? or a guy out of management for 20 years? Really? Has Gray ever successfully fought relegation? Or just been a decent manager when having the biggest budget to work with? We are what, 7 points off safety. We apparently h...

Another way to look at it is those 3 wins have come in last 7 league games, with 2 draws. More points than in previous 14 league games. Some encouragement surely.

The fact we have signed an undercooked striker, yes with some kind of ability, and seems like everyone is pinning hopes on him. Isn't it more of a worry that we don't have the personnel to create the chances consistently? Yes, possibly an upgrade on Hazel but no guarantees he will bail us out on hi...

Re: Darlington V Rushall
I know you don't like it 97 but Gowling is the manager. Managers pick their best team from the players they have available, depending on fitness, attitude, who the opposition is, all sorts of stuff. Players have to constantly work to try and keep form. Players get picked and dropped from time to ti...
