Darlo Uncovered

Meanwhile Jacob Hazel who Asante was meant to replace, scored both goals in Boston's win at Spennymoor.

Interview with DJ following successfully meeting the BTB target. Says we missed out on a striker we thought we were close on who went to a club in our league. Looking at recent movers, presume it was Jonny Margetts who was having an unbelievable season with Matlock in the league below, but signed f...

Always ranckled with me the way PJ was treated. Gray seemed to play him when he was obviously not fit and then threw him under the bus when he made a mistake. Away to United of Manchester stands out Not just Gray, assholes in the tinshed got on his back after every mistake, and it resulted in a tot...

I expect it will total over £40,000

Yep so slow for a couple of days now.

Not up to speed like Asante.

Total now £16,782 and looks to have stalled a little bit. I've just had a look at the Official website, and no mention of the BTB on the home page. Surely this being stickied on the home page for easy access is a minimum basic requirement when trying to raise 30 grand! Previous BTB fundraisers seem...

well done the chap donating £500 this morning.I realise DFC website has been revamped but could they pin the boost the budget link on the main page?

And whoever put 2k in yesterday .Tremendous support

Not forgetting the folks who put in a tenner and probably cannot afford it.

What are the great facilities he keeps mentioning [emoji848]

He hasn't been told yet that the facilities that Boro have let us use recently are not ours.

MG is saying all the right things but probably the best route would have been talking to the board behind the scenes. Doing it publicly like this does have the look of backing the board into a corner. Things could be very complicated if others have already been spoken to about the job. His offer do...

100% this - no way Gray unites the fan base. The same can be said for Hodson too - far too many people see Frank Tweddle's book on us as their sole source of managerial inspiration. The only thing that will unite the fanbase is winning matches. The reservations about MG would be largely pushed asid...

Suprised nobody has mentioned policeman Tommy Wright to come back.
Not to manage, but to arrest half the squad for impersonating footballers.

There's zero evidence to suggest that Martin Gray has the skillset required in our current situation. He succeeded when he had the biggest, or one of the biggest budgets in the division, while he was supported by a scout who had huge knowledge of the local non League game in Harry Dunn. He's not wo...

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 ...

Yes but funny how we won that game We need to remember that Gloucester are garbage and were missing their best player. They had though won their last two home games, and 3 days after we beat them they beat Curzon Ashton 3-0. Didn't stop us though from getting stuffed at home next game by the worst ...

Rushall and Southport both winning at the moment.
We are now 10 points from safety, it's beginning to look hopeless.

If they sack Josh, then I suspect it would be the end of DJ, so be careful for what you wish for!! Merry Christmas everyone, hope your all having a good one. Who are they ? I thought any termination of contract would be DJ's decision. No one is calling for DJ's head as well, he is the most importan...

What puzzles me is how in the space of 7 days we can go from a competent encouraging display against Gloucester to the unmotivated disaster against Bishops Stortford. It can only be down to the manager in my opinion. I presume the club cannot afford to pay up his contract and therefore we as owners ...

How did Asante look / do? Did all right, lasted nearly whole game. was able to hold the ball up . When he is fully match fit will be a real handful and we saw glimpses of how he can spin and turn defenders. Williams as well when he came on looked a good signing albeit for only a month. Lindley grew...

I think we'll struggle to get anything out of the game and not just because of ring rustiness. Gloucester play on a plastic carpet which clearly gives them a big advantage when you see that 14 of their total of 17 points so far this season have come on plaggy home turf. We, on the other hand, are s...

Then under that condition...AFC Wimbledon fans last saw the original incarnation of Wimbledon FC play in the Championship. AFC Wimbledon have never returned to tier 2 prior to suffering relegation. This is wide open to stats proving me wrong but I thought the only football clubs never to be relegat...

I have to admit I'm struggling with attending games these days, I go to home games out of habit and to see my mates who go there too. I've only done one away game all season, Farsley, even missing the big one at Scunny. I just cant be bothered with the chew on anymore. Our car school that used to d...

I'd love to know who turned us down, or withdrew from the running, before we appointed Gowling. It seems like more than just Hodgy said no. I'm still personally disappointed we didn't appoint Lakeland but who knows what actually happened. Is this Lakeland the manager of King's Lynn who have lost 3 ...

May be DFC keeping status of availability secret to fox the opposition? I’m done with this Board. If you could drag yourself away from this website for 5 minutes you could put yourself forward. Alternatively we could delve into our endless list of candidates who would take on the task of running a ...

Very welcome update. Might silence some of the constant whingers, but I doubt it.

Pinning our hopes on a striker that’s not played since April is not good. For me the squad and team is fractured they are not playing for each other. There is zero team spirit and without that you can talk all you want about tactics but if there is no fight then you will achieve nothing. We knew th...

Two consecutive 7-0 defeats in 1972/3.
What price two consecutive 8-0 defeats this year, Scunthorpe away next.

Should be building a side around him, not alienating him while trying to flog him to a rival Loanstar, you seem to have a huge amount of patience regarding Hazel - but very little patience regarding Gowling. Not looking for ruck ;) just pointing it out. Possibly because Hazel has proved himself cap...

Massive mistake to let go the only player at our club who is capable of scoring 20 goals a season. It beggars belief if we sell him.
