Darlo Uncovered

With Danny being in charge on Saturday, there will be a a big increase in spot the potential new manager tomorrow 😀 It will be like a football ornithologist outing , possible sightings could include the lesser spotted Watson, a Gray tit, a green feathered Fenton , or even if you are lucky, a Lakela...

Do we really want to give another go to a guy whose record when you look at it critically, you know properly, without all the tinsel and sparkle, really shouldn't beguile anyone? He kept us up once but how many leagues did he win, starting from the pits? This charming man looks like the popular choi...

Dial M for Martin if he's on the right page or M for mess if he's still smarting.

Dial M for Martin because of the mess and let bygones be gone. He only threw a tantrum because he loves the club and that's all we need - tough love, not another likeable loser.

I hope we get a good crowd on Sat, with lots of young lads who will sing in the Tin Shed. To be honest think that the players will need that lift of the noise and backing from the whole crowd, including some noise from us in the seats. This would be helped if the music at the start were songs we co...

I've been after Grays, return since he left and I think history is on my side. Since he got us up to this level àfter getting us through seven games in three weeks in the run in then the play offs in the next season he showed it was more than money or a canny scout. Of course he was frustrated - he ...

If Gowling took the job without a severance deal he would be even dafter than he seems, Getting rid would cost but not as much as keeping the useless Herbert in terms of longer term blight. If they bring back my man Martin I couldn't see him rubbing along with Hodgson but if he wants it I say him an...

It's the Christmas yet to come that worries me - we need much more fuel on the fire and hallucinations to tide us over.

A lot of straw clutching going on within this thread, and a lot of bigging up of a kid that I've never heard of. I hope he is 1/10th of the player that everyone mysteriously thinks he is, because that would make him the best player at the club. If he's that good what's he doing here? The vexed issu...

For 'Gowling as player-manager' read Hatfield. Heaven knows what kind of player JG was.

Darlo Pete says; Bringing back AA is not the answer. Hopefully yesterday was just a blip and we get something from Scarborough on Boxing Day. [/quote] I wonder sometimes if the club deserves your support and while it's always good to see positive thoughts on this forum, I think it's past being hopef...

Just listened to his interview. The gist being that “ the expectation was just too much for the players” Is he serious? Does he mean the expectation that we should beat a side at home that is bottom of the league, concede goals for fun, oh and have just had a 4 hr coach journey!. Anyway, is that no...

So why did we appoint Gowling?

Maybe he played Asante deep because he still isn't quite fit, or maybe that's as fit as he'll get. Who knows? It is baffling though and I wonder why this guy ever thought he would be able to manage a football club. If we took him because he was a cheap option it's backfiring but I can't see any othe...

Couldn’t resist a daft flutter today. I have done a double on Darlo Pride 2.35 at Lingfield at odds of 4/1 and Darlington to win at 7/10. If it comes up a tenner returns £85 which would be a nice little Christmas bonus. Come on Darlo 🙏 Well that went well 😢 Darlo Pride 2nd and Darlo No Pride Second...

All the other results going against us right now - including Kings Lyn two up after being dissed on this thread. This looks like another classic Quakers collapse, at home, in a crunch match. After all the optimism recently this is very hard to take. If BS do the double over us we deserve to go down....

I thought we'd win this one and it sounds like a good performance - watching the score at 1-0 for virtually the whole match without letting one in was a bit much but winning at Gloucester is a very encouraging result. I think we'll beat BS as well then the ingredients of a half decent team could com...

A point won't do - we really have to win this one, a six pointer if ever there was one. Think about the Farsley game, Darlo can do it here as well but we'll need at least two goals. Is this newbie finally fit - if he scores and we win we might just claw something together over Christmas? The alterna...

If Josh said he was good, would he be called a LYRE ? Very good - let's hope this Greek comes bearing gifts. In fact some yule-tide fun might be to see some connections between Quakers and the ancient world. What about 'the last shall be first' - 'Am I my brothers (goal)keeper' and wasn't there som...

We won't come back up anytime soon if we go down, some big teams in the league below with bigger budgets that us. It would be an absolute disaster if we go down. I think it would too. There's always a sense of shame when it happens and it takes a while to disperse. On a better note, if we do someho...

[quote=theoriginalfatcat post_id=513745 time=1701678062 user_id=376 I’m a Hodgie fan but sometimes the past is best left in the past. [/quote] Ditto. Why bring back a fans favourite who never actually took us up when a much more successful figure, who showed how it's done at the lower ground is rout...

Am finding best odds of us staying up & will put £5 on & my winnings into next season's BTB. Statistically we cannot be so bad for the rest of the season I'm sure Jovial Josh would endorse your last point - being so keen on statistics, and there have been some signs of improvement but the more tell...

When I looked through the projected results I felt a bit better about our chances; 0-5 to Blyth. KL putting four past us, Scarborough too but holding Scunny at home. We'll do better than that. The 0-3 at Boston looks right though - it'll be a Hazel hat trick. A helpful feature really because it show...

Wtf is Gowling doing trying to creatively stretch the budget, why isn’t he throwing his toys out of the pram and giving self serving interviews about how stacked against him everything is like the last clown in charge ? Did Armstrong shag your wife? I’ve not seen a vendetta like this in years. I wo...

Whatever Asante is on it's a waste of scarce resources - he's being paid for cantering around for ten minutes or so, seeming to be quite unfit then it's the usual just wait and see we get from the club. They could tell us honestly when he's likely to be fit. What must the other players think of thi...

They could tell us honestly when he's likely to be fit. What must the other players think of this?

. Would it be worth considering realising Gowling and just see what Danny Rose can do on his own ? He knows the strengths and weaknesses of the players, hopefully would command their respect, and has a good knowledge of this league. Yes he lacks management experience, but always seems to conduct hi...

For Warrington read Gloucester - been a long day. I'll be happy to be wrong about Asante but why do we buy players who are still returning to fitness? It's seems to me to be part of a fantasy that it'll all come good eventually, I just don't have any faith that a proven goal scorer is going to do hi...

We're going down guys. We just fucked off a 20 goal a season striker and then play his replacement for 8 minutes today. And for all of the ins and outs in the last few weeks, we started today with just 1 JG signing. Admittedly Lindley is a good player. I'm not interested in hearing how unlucky we w...

Half a loaf better than none - we're not toast yet.
