Darlo Uncovered

Per the official announcement game is now to be played at Kettering due to ongoing ground works at Peterborough sports ground which impact capacity and segregation. Not particularly fair on Darlo fans who have booked train tickets to Peterborough. In circumstances like this Peterborough should have ...

It's hard to talk about players and targets without knowing who other clubs will be releasing. But I do think there are need some fundamentals that need installing into the team for next season: A big aggressive head it kick it CB who is vocal and can organise what's infront of them. 2 full backs wh...

Wasn't really expecting anything from today's game. Kings Lynn are a good side and easily bested us 3-0 earlier in the season at their place when we were still at full strength. But despite DJ's calming words, I am worried about the general apathy that there seems to be around the club atm. The 'we ...

Selection-wise I would revert to a 433. Play Felix, Nelson and Hazel up top and bring in Liddle in front of Moke and Purver. Back 4 will depend on injuries etc but Newall has to play (either LB or even left midfield if the manager opts for 442. He’s great going forward and can actually cross a ball...

Don't really know what to say after yesterday. Just feel a bit empty and deflated by it all really. We should have been ahead on 4 minutes, for the 3rd time in 3 matches Hazel has been 1v1 with the keeper. Unlike v Blyth and Bradford PA his first touch didn't let him down this time but he rolled it ...

Personally would love Bishop Stortford in the NLN as it would be a nice local game for me being based in East Herts. But I think in reality because the likes of Gloucester, Banbury, Brackley are already in the north it makes more sense for a team like Oxford City to be moved across from NLS. As for ...

It doesn't get any better re watching the highlights. Ref in a good position for both the Bradford PA pen and the handball incident. But fails to notice their lad challenge TT when he has the ball in two hands and their lad basically catch the ball between his arm and body, no help from his linesman...

Cooper back available, but after a decent performance from Lawlor and Sukar in the middle and Newall at left back against Blyth. I think it's likely to be the same back four. Shame Griffiths, Liddle and Lambert remain injured as they would provide much needed support. But still plenty in our first t...

Time to banish this bad form and secure our place in the playoffs. Blyth have similar form to us over the last 5 games, I'm sure they'll be well up for it and keen to get in our faces and spoil our day. But plenty of talent in our squad and these lads really are plenty good enough to get a result ag...

Massively frustrated by the game yesterday, cant comment in terms of performance as I wasn't there. But have been at Leamington and Kettering in recent weeks and seen the trends in our performance. Im not a happy clapper, some of the performances, tactics and results havent been good enough. But for...

Am I understanding the figures correctly? We made a loss of £183,000. So was it that with the Boost the Budget figure of £136,000 the 'real' loss was just £47,000, or without the Boost the Budget figure of £136,000 the loss would have been £319,000, or even (simply) incorporating the Boost the Budg...

Long trip back down to Oxfordshire this evening, and one that feels a bit must win based on our recent form. Get a win tonight and it takes a little bit of pressure off getting a result against Chester on Saturday. Banbury are in bad form having similarly been pilfered by full time clubs for a few o...

That really wasnt good enough. If anyone can explain our tactics to me today I'm all ears. Bobbly pitch but every time our back four had the ball pressure or not it was hoofed high towards Hazel and Nelson. Target man Blyth on the bench but the tactic seemed to be to play long to Hazel and Nelson al...

Not too bad a set of results for us last night with Chester losing and Brackley & Kings Lynn sharing a point. We really need to get our season back on track at the weekend. I would have said if we want to be fighting for 3rd, 4th, 5th we would have needed 10 points from 5 games. Vs Fylde, Hereford, ...

Article written by Stephen Cleeve the Kings Lynn owner gives some more details on distribution: (https://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/23249672.stephen-cleeve-putting-national-league-streaming-deals-scrutiny/) ' As I understand it, fans cannot stream matches at 3pm on a Saturday, although this is being look...

See our match Vs Bradford PA on Easter Monday has been selected for the trial:

Not sure if anyone has kept up with how the revenue from passes is being split up?

Not local to Darlo so can't comment on the chances the game has. The weather forecast makes it look a little bleak. But if we do go ahead, it feels like a really important game for our season. We need to put in a 90 minute performance and get back to winning ways. The players are more than capable, ...

Really really hope this works out for the lad and he can just enjoy playing football. Remember the emotion from him after his goal vs Blyth last season. Can only imagine how he felt when the injury took another season of his footballing career away. Everything thing crossed that he can keep fit and ...

Will be a tough game tomorrow. But one were certainly capable of winning. Will be interesting to see what we do formation wise. Unless a big 6'0+ CF comes in today I'd be tempted to go 4-3-3. Sukar gets the nod for me, but if he's still feeling unwell then could bring Brookwell in. Plenty of players...

Watching the highlights, we certainly deserved at least a point out of the game, if not maybe a little unlucky to get more. At least 2 good saves in there from their Keeper as well as the Hazel effort and freekick which both struck the post. Whilst at the other end Tommy was largely untroubled. You ...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Anyway back to the original thread. AA mentioned having bids in for a couple of new players and hopefully some fresh faces in for Tuesday. Love a bit of transfer speculation, so does anyone have any thoughts on possible new signings. Both sensible and fanciful suggestions welcome. Couple names to t...

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.

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...

Totally get that we have to be financially secure, but also good management also look at the big picture . Top of league and an opportunity become available to strengthen with a proven player who wants to come and everyone agrees would be an asset. Doesn’t happy very often. Don’t buy the “ he wante...
