Re: Leamington v Darlo

Why are the full backs not on the posts when defending set pieces .They would/should have cleared both of them yesterday,or is that too old fashioned I wouldn't say its common to have full backs on the posts for deep freekicks. Takes offside out of the equation and let's them disrupt the goalkeeper...

Re: Leamington v Darlo

Nothing particularly good to write about that. Baring a really excellent finish from Hazel an afternoon to well and truly forget. First half was really awful. Neither team had any quality. Ball spent most of its time in the air. We were happy to kick long down the throats of their CBs which Hazel wa...

Re: New faces

Guessing it was James Spencer at Farsley who’s just joined Curzon.. Yeh pretty sure AA has voiced his admiration of him in the past and was obviously available, so very likely it was him. Would be interesting to know why he chose Curzon over us. Cannot believe they offered huge money more than us a...

Re: Darlington V Telford

Just watched highlights. Thought defence was very poor at the time yesterday but some of the defending and marking was worse than poor. Not a defender anywhere in sight for both disallowed goals, and think we may have got away with the first offside. The second one, from a fee kick, their forward g...

Re: Lambert attracting attention

Only slight issue is Lambert is out of contract in the summer.. do we cash in or do we keep him with the hope of promotion and let him go for free in the summer? Way I see it. Lambert gives us a much better opportunity of making it to the play offs. Finish 5th or above and you get at least one home...

Remind me what became of Jorden Emery (is he back with us?) we list him as dual registered with Guisely from September but on their site he is not listed in their 31 man squad which includes 4 Goalkeepers!
He's now dual registered with Marske I believe.

Re: Scarborough Away - Mon 2nd Jan (SOLD OUT)

Watched the goals highlights. There won't be many teams in this league who can live with our front 4 when they're on form like that. Lovely range of goals too. Beck beating his man at the back post for the 1st. Hazel running in behind the CB for the 2nd. Two close range finishes (being where you wan...

Chance to bounce back tonight from a fairly poor day away at Kings Lynn. Buxton have had a bit of a mixed start 12 points from 12 games, 9 scores, 15 conceded. Hopefully we can come out of the blocks quickly. For me, I still think we look better 4-3-3, I'd be tempted to bring in Leesley for a natura...

Frustrating to have the injuries, but based on performances (albeit Dodds has only had one game at Hyde) I don't think it would really effect team selection based on form. As other have noted, not sure whether Moke has recovered from the Illness he posted about earlier in the week. If not, or not fu...

Re: Jordan Emery

Decent move for the lad. Only the division below and playing under a manager that we know was a decent CB in his time.

Wonder of we'll look to do something similar with Alfie Hughes? Give him a chance to get some game time and keep developing.

Watched the highlights. Certainly not a classic from a darlo point of view. Both goals conceded weren't great. Failure to get first contact at the corner for the first.

Good to get the win. It wouldn't be Darlo if we didn't make hard work of it. Penalty was a pen by the letter of the law so we can't have any complaints. Thought the red was about right too, the second foot getting involved made it dangerous in my opinion and thus he had to go. After that looks like ...
