Re: Curzon crowd
Disappointing way to start. Wasn't at the game so can't comment on individual performances, but didn't really agree with the team selection, largely as it left Hazel isolated in the middle and Rivers offers us little from out wide. I don't mind him in a 10 role but from out wide he's not quick or st...

Re: Fixtures out today at 1pm
So I am assuming when the fixtures are published, we’ll get spenny over festive season, and Blyth will get SS. Not sure who Scarborough will get, Guiseley probably. Imagine the festive fixtures will look something like the below. Blyth v South Shields Darlo v Spenny Bishop Stortford v Peterborough ...

Re: New players and targets
Another positive signing getting Liddle over the line. Looking at the squad now I think we probably still need: - Target man CF - every squad should have one at this level of football, but finding a good one rather than just a tall lad is a bit of a challenge. Needs to be someone who can genuinely s...

Re: Darlington FC communications
No question that whatever you feel about the communication and I personally think it has been very poor indeed, the last few days of BTB can only be helped by regular updates and some signs of what we are doing as a club, particularly AA. There is no downside to this. I haven’t checked back but pre...

Best of luck to him, been excellent while he's been here, shame his season was curtailed by injury for much of the second half. Watching him away at Leamington he looked like he was running on one leg for much of the game. Hope he gets the chance to play at a higher level, he's earned it. To name ju...

Re: Purver to Scarborough
Perhaps he enjoyed himself on their plastic pitch. To be honest I am not shedding too many tears. Scarborough describe him as an attacking midfielder, if they are banking on a bag full of goals from him, they might be disappointed. Personally pretty gutted to lose him to a team in this division, I ...

Re: National League North 23/24 - FA League Allocations
I question that the 'national league' should actually be a national league anyway. It's a recipe for financial disaster stories and we shouldn't have non-league sides having to do monster journeys on limited budgets. Expand the football league to 100 sides, and below that, make football regional. A...

Re: Local clubs released lists
See Cedric Main has left Blyth. Seemed to play well in the games against us. 10 goals in 42 games for Blyth this season.
Maybe not quite what we need in terms of an out and out target man. But one who might be on our radar.

Re: National League North 23/24 - FA League Allocations
Oxford City into an early lead in the NLS playoff final. On a personal note would love Bishop Stortford in the NLN. An away game only 20 minutes from home isn't common when you live in East Herts. Also hoping Kiddy can beat Brackley too, considering I've lost some of the more local trips to Ketterin...

Re: Peterborough Sport v Darlo
Why not play at Peterborough North Star? I appreciate its not ideal but it should be okay. You have to play at an appropriately graded ground for the level that you're at. So would have to be a category B ground or above. Not an awful lot of choice around that area of the country unfortunately for ...

Re: Darlington v Curzon Ashton Tuesday April 18th2023
Selection-wise I would revert to a 433. Play Felix, Nelson and Hazel up top and bring in Liddle in front of Moke and Purver. Back 4 will depend on injuries etc but Newall has to play (either LB or even left midfield if the manager opts for 442. He’s great going forward and can actually cross a ball...

Cooper back available, but after a decent performance from Lawlor and Sukar in the middle and Newall at left back against Blyth. I think it's likely to be the same back four.
