Darlo Uncovered

Doesn't look like reinforcements are rushing over the hill just yet which is frustrating, but none the less the players who are here need to stand up and be counted and start dragging us out of the mess we've gotten ourselves into. Siddik being fit is a boost and hopefully Barrow can shake off his i...

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 fo...

Goes without saying a really tough game tomorrow, a team coming to BM bang in form, scoring plenty of goals and full of confidence. We have a complete lack of goals and a leaky defence. Not getting a result at Southport away on Tuesday has brought some pressure onto this game to get something. It wo...

Can't win a game of football when basically the full matchday squad has an off day. Hedley run ragged for goal 1, barely able to find a Darlo player with a pass. CBs too slow to react for both goals. CMs not breaking the lines and moving forward with the ball. Cant remember the last time Liddle did ...

Interesting game tonight, our record at Southport is fairly appalling, but you would hope that the team is feeling confident after a win at Kings Lynn. We could really do with a win tonight, that would give us a free hit against Tamworth on Saturday whilst also not letting Southport pull away from t...

Very positive day at the office. Clean sheet and three points on the road. Do it again against Southport on Tuesday and we’re back in the pack with games in hand on Southport and Banbury both of who are below us in the form table atm. Wasn’t a game of lots of chances, but most pleasingly we were com...

Got to be realistic about tomorrow, don't expect us to have become a Rolls Royce team over night but god do we need a win tomorrow. Drags KL back towards us, gives some further encouragement to the lads and the new management and might inspire some further BTB donations which in turn might help us i...

Fantastic as always from our fans and owners. Be interesting to see what a positive performance and result tomorrow might have on that total.

I bet you're also praying that Warrington and Rushall fail to get their grounds upgraded and are hurled back down. Heart of stone you :) Just reading that Rushall Olympic were today (Jan 4) granted planning permission for essential improvements to their ground and face a race against time to get th...

We're in a terrible position, and it's a combination of factors in my opinon. It's not all Gowling's fault- we were bottom of the table when he came in and the likes of Hazel and Felix were key components of the team who went from top to bottom of the table, so they (and the other players) have to ...

Based solely on league position. I think you're right. But caveated with the fact that I also think this is the poorest NLN since we've been in the division (disclaimer this also highlights just how crap we've been from say dot this season). Warrington looked really poor and limited at BM but are co...

Whoever is next into the hot seat has a big job on their hands. Just like on boxing day we've conceded a soft goal. Whilst Scarborough didnt really threaten the goal much, they were able to get crosses into our box at will. We bypassed the midfield but couldn't get the ball to stick up front. We see...

Not going go celebrate anyone losing their job. But it had a horrible feeling of not working out after. Important to remenber not everything JG tried to implement was bad. For a long time during Armstrongs spell there was a call for more analytics, and he has brought some promising players to the cl...

Not much in that game from what I've seen. Stupid pen to give away by Hedley. Nothing happening upfront. Other than Rivers shot just after their goal we've done nothing in their box, which needs to change second half.

Going to try and be positive. Siddick looks decent from what I've seen.

Really need to complete the job of getting back into the pack on Saturday. Kings Lynn away at Southport, Rushall playing South Sheilds and Blyth playing chester gives us an opportunity of those around us no picking up points. So important we finish the day on 22 points and with a game or two in han...

JE93 Why drop moke best player last week they say . I personally like his attitude.and work rate :thumbup: Just personal opinion really. Platt is different from any other midfield option we have. I've been impressed with Lindley since he's joined and for me he hasn't put a foot wrong, so deserves h...

I see Gloucester beat Curzon 3-0 this evening. Hard to know what that means for our result there at the weekend, perhaps puts into context what a good result it was on their 4g pitch. It certainly seems a closer league this season. Hopefully means there's plenty of opportunities to pull ourselves ou...

Well, after what feels like a while without a game (not sure if that's a good or bad thing these days) it's likely we'll get back to playing on Saturday away to Gloucester. Our opponents winning in midweek means we slip to 23rd in the league, but defeats for Kings Lynn and Peterborough Sports meant ...

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. If that is how football works we have nothing to worry about as we are a decent sized team in this league with a mid-table budget so we'...

Is anyone going to actually be accountable for the decisions over the last year? I get most are volunteers, but that shouldn't hide the fact they have the power to make decisions, decisions that should be in the interests of shareholders aka fans. Which they are clearly getting wrong. What would yo...

Tough one to take last night. Certainly not what we deserved on the balance of play. For 70 minutes got to give the the players and Gowling credit. They couldn't deal with the press. We won the ball back high up the pitch multiple times. Created a really well.worked goal. Should have had more. Moke ...

Dropped off with a couple of goals, but his assists & creativity stayed the same. How many assists and chances created? Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk 4 assists pre-January & 4 assists post-January. His xG per match also increased post-January, from 0.16 to 0.22. It was 13 G/A he got in 22...

First half there was plenty of hope. It genuinely was a good performance, controlled the ball well, pressed high, didn't give Peterborough a sniff of our goal for most of the first half. We were a bit toothless, not taking the shot on early enough, but other than that fairly positive. Then we win a ...

Small car park at the ground. In addition, (based on the Scarborough preview from late last season) they also use the car park at a local school c.5-10 minute walk away, below pasted from the Scarborough preview: 'Parking Dedicated away fan parking at: Fulbridge Academy, Keeton Road, Peterborough, P...

Who would folk want in instead of josh? Not sure I'd trust this board to make another appointment, and I don't think DJ has much understanding of football to be fair. Do an impressive powerpoint presentation and you could have it yourself. How much of his time does DJ spend running Darlington? Sinc...

You say that, but we've allegedly received two offers for Taylor, both from NLN clubs. And if we receive a small fee and replace him with someone of the same standard cheaper so we can use the funds to strengthen elsewhere surely that is good management? Especially when the budget has been poorly s...

Was interesting listening in to the Spenny Scouts sat behind us on Tuesday night. They reckoned our weak area was Griffiths/Salkeld area, and they should be targeting there. Also thought we were wide open through middle when we tried to press with Ngandu first half, but better for change at half ti...

Accrington Stanley chairman Andy Holt's tweets are worth a read from last night. A seemingly benevolent owner who has put significant sums into the club through playing squad and infrastructure development who has now decided he's had enough. Things really can change for clubs under a single owner a...
