Darlo Uncovered

Interesting he referred a couple of times to making the squad a bit younger. Not sure who our younger players are at the moment - obviously harker, then maybe curry, then Nelson, liddle and sukar in their mid 20s?

Even at its best it wasn't a very nice place to watch football. Cold, vast, empty and soulless.

Yes I realise we're talking comparisons to Blackwell, but I'm just talking about it on its own terms. Even compared to other modern stadia it's a crap place to watch a game.

They’ve moved the goal posts again. Originally the deadline was teatime but I usually don’t have mine until 7pm but now it’s 5pm so I’ve got two hours less to get my application in [emoji47] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk You should worry - I'm a Victorian aristocrat who takes tea on the lawn a...

Curry and hedley out of favour?

Watson did have mark beck at York, which as we know is the difference between being the best and worst team in the division

It's on a Saturday - no national League TV

That's true most weekends but I'm not sure about this one - it's listed on the national League TV site

However, some of our supporters, especially the fan owned zealots , would likely be horrified, so I don’t think he will be considered, even if he did apply. What is it with you and that phrase? It's like you despise those who would rather we stayed fan owned, and like you want to gamble it all away...

I think job number one is to look at the squad, choose a system that suits the players, and drill them into it. If we have to grind our way out of trouble I'm fine with it.

And that's all he needs to say.

I'm terms of professionalism and preparation it feels similar to the Tommy Wright four-for-training debacle.

However, it still may be completely untrue, and the club ought to be saying as much both for the club's reputation and for aa's sake if it really is a baseless rumour.

Sometimes you see goals live and think they might look better on the highlights, but not this time - this time they might look even worse. Dear me.

I just don't see what aspect of Armstrong's management is likely to turn this around? He's not about to suddenly turn them super organised, he seems too demoralised to motivate them, he doesn't have the tactical nous. The gig is up, I'm afraid. A good management reign has just withered on the vine. ...

Sod the pay off, it's time he and Holloway walked. Armstrong wasn't there today, I'd be very interested to know why, and the reason really needs to be a good one if it's going to give any impression that he is preparing for matches properly. That result flattered us today, we were atrocious, and Arm...

All management's fault this. Shape is appalling, they're overloading us down the flanks because we only have narrow players apart from the defence, yet they're just ambling through the middle every time too.

2-2 at the end. Got to say the penalty at the end looked dubious on the footage, but we'll see

Barnes two in five minutes! I look forward to September 25 and him signing for... Oh, let's say Shields

Suppose with sukar missing we could try the diamond type midfield that mark cooper played during our brief successful spell under him? I think the trophy final line up went

Chandler
Smith and moore
Bridge-Wilkinson

How about

Platt
Hatfield and liddle
Barnes?

A deserved point which could well have been 3 but for Sukars stupid challenge as we were well on top. Thought Lawlor had his best game for a while and as we thought, Hatfield led by example throughout. Have not scored from open play yet and am worried where the goals will come from. Thought it was ...

It's reds under the tin shed!

On the plus side we certainly created some decent opportunities with Hazel and Salkeld linking up well on a couple of occasions. Salkeld was getting a ridiculous amount of stick on Twitter last night, some fans saying he's the worst player they've ever seen. Based on 2 matches. Looks like this seas...

Having moaned all week I think I might have been wrong - on the evidence of our second game anyway; Salkeld could have had a hat trick, Taylors display was excellent, including some accurate kicks down the left, the penalty was very dubious and their goal was brilliant rather than reflecting poor d...

Obviously a lot of doom and gloom about and justifiably so, but two things... Taylor had the best game I've seen him play, and possibly more importantly... Platt looks the bee's knees. We've been missing a player in that position since Phil Turnbull left. Not quite the same type of player but he loo...

Yeah, overall a draw would have been fair but our defence absolutely lost its collective mind suddenly in the 88th minute. Things much better in the second half, salkeld got a lot closer to hazel and that helped a lot. Taylor, platt, hazel, Nelson, Felix and Griffiths all played well. But let's not ...

I don't remember who did it for the trial game last season as I didn't see it live, but I think from the highlights the quality looked pretty decent. I think there's two games this month, scunny and the home game v shields on the bank holiday Monday, so even then individual passes are better than a ...

Looking at this link it looks as though the single match pass gives you access to all games being screened, so that should give you the scunny game.

Still think 9.50 is a bit steep but good to have the games shown, particularly for the exiles among us.

With Rivers out and Moke doubtful. Definitely puts some pressure on our midfield with limited options. Personally I'd like to see us try 3-5-2. Think the question whichever formation we go for will be who do you put alongside Platt in CM. For me below I've gone for Liddle, but I also wouldn't mind ...

The announcement for national League sides said you could buy a game pass for about £10, which I think is still a lot. I haven't seen further updates about NLN though

Also, let's talk Wrexham. What them two at Wrexham are doing looks good on the surface, no doubt, but... 1) the only true measure of success will be how they leave Wrexham, not what they do in the meantime, and the financial backing will become less significant compared to their opponents when they ...

Be very shocked if this turned out to be true, considering we’ve got f*ck all money left.

I do agree with you on this, but would point to last season when beck signed right before the season began, and Felix on (I think) the night before the first game.
