FA Cup draw
Draw for 2nd qualifying round on Monday when we come in. In better times would be looking forward to it and maybe drwaing a 'weaker' team to get to the next round, but just now a few of these weaker teams would fancy playing us.

Re: New signings?
As if things weren't bad enough, with every game played any potential new recruit will look at us and think 'nah, dont fancy that'

New signings?
Now that the transfer window is closed can we expect some would-be full timers who didn't get fixed up to be looking for part time employment?

Covid postponments
Don't know if there any general FA guidelines about when a club can postpone a match when players test positive, but the Northern Premier League seem to be taken a very strict approach. This is taken from an article in the Non League paper by the NPL chairman 'This season, for a league match to be p...

The Boro take of the match - or at least the gazette's view. https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/darlington-vs-middlesbrough-under-23s-21197341 Interesting mention of Darlo's physical presence - not something we've heard in a positive way in recent years - although we were up ...

Future of heading?
The FA are proposing limitations to heading the ball during training. https://www.thefa.com/news/2021/jul/28/20210728-new-heading-guidance-published Wonder if this will eventually lead to restrictions in matches- could we get to the stage where heading is banned? Although after Tuesday’s performance...

Re: Attendance
My issue is people who have no respect of how other people may feel nervous.

As a society there's a real risk of losing the ability to have resp...

Re: Harvey Saunders
Also signed Boro keeper Brad James on loan.
Seem to be throwing everything they have got - and probably a fair bit they haven't got - at promotion.
Be ironic if Armstrong and Saunders provided the goals that got them up.

Re: Terry Melling
I have a vague memory of him scoring at the Tin Shed end in a big game against Bradford City. I think it was possibly the final game of the season possibly 1969ish when both sides were in with a chance of promotion. There was a big crowd about 11000 including a large contingent from Bradford.

Remember watching him late sixties (69?). I think he played for us towards the end of his career.
