Re: Darlington v Banbury 2/03/24
I think Matty has already played for England U19s, so he will we on the radar of all the top clubs.

Re: Darlington v Banbury 2/03/24
Huge win. That effectively puts us level on goal difference with them in so far as to finish above them they'll need to lose their two games in hand. Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk Just a shame that their next two games are against Rushall and Southport. Look at it this way if they take po...

Re: Darlington v Banbury 2/03/24
Been a while since I’ve been nervous before a game😂 Me too. For the last few months I have been going to games not really expecting us to win, and being mentally prepared for a defeat. I think we, as fans had become used to not winning, just as the players had, and we were thinking relegation was a...

Re: Darlington v Banbury 2/03/24
It is a massive game, because we will probably need to win another 5 games this season, and this looks like one of our most winnable matches.

Darlington v Banbury 2/03/24
A win would compete an excellent week for us, if we manage to take 9 points in 8 days that will probably be a pivotal moment in our season. However, you can take nothing for granted in this league, and it will likely be a tough game against opponents who will be equally desperate for the points. Inj...

Re: Away Shirt Vote
I agree regarding No4 it is not enough of a contrast colour wise from our home kit. I voted for No3 for a complete change.

Re: Curzon V Darlington
I have to agree with comments made regarding Toby Lees. He was largely anonymous earlier in the season, but is much improved since SW and TM came in, and I thought he was MoM last night. Also I think it is fair to say that Platt is looking much more like the player we hoped he would be when he first...

Re: Curzon V Darlington
Really good effort tonight. Fully deserved to win and showed plenty of heart and fight. We don’t look like the same team that played a few weeks ago, so plenty of credit to Steve and Terry for making a big difference in just 2 months. Loads more to do but if we can maintain recent standards we reall...

Re: Curzon V Darlington
We can’t defend, so I am sure we will be looking to go forward at every opportunity. A performance like last week at Boston would do, as long as we take some of our chances this time.

Re: Darlington v Buxton
Armstrong looked utterly broken after beck left, and that very plainly seeped into the team. Jacob Blyth flopped, but he spent his whole time with us hearing interviews in which Armstrong implied he wasn't good enough. Whatever Armstrong did before then - and a whole load of it was good to great - ...

Talking of injury prone players, I have a memory of Noel Whelan coming on as a sub at the Arena and pulling his hamstring as he ran onto the pitch and had to be taken off straight away. Please tell me I haven’t imagined it and this really happened

I think we really need to be trying to tie Watson and Mitchell down to be here next season, regardless of which league we are playing in. I think they should be able to build a team that is either capable of holding their own in NLN or being promotion contenders in the league below. I look at this ...

We have won 4 games of the 10 we have played under Watson. That is the same number of wins as the previous incumbents managed in 24 games, so there has been a measurable improvement recently.

Re: Darlington v Buxton
I didn't think we were that poor in the first half Pete. Agreed we were the better team and they hadn’t threatened until the bizarre own goal. I thought in the second half,we were just starting to run out of ideas when out of the blue we scored. The timing was vital, as it lifted the players and th...

A famous victory steered by Nelson - a shame useless seadogs couldn't score at Gloucester. Quakers might be holed below the bows and shipping water worse than Middlesbrough but with a fair wind and a salty dog in charge safe harbour after stormy sea and all that. Delighted for Nella.

Re: Darlington v Buxton
Pretty sure that is the first game we have won this season from a losing position. Time to break another hoodoo on Tuesday and win back to back games. It actually feels like we still have a chance of beating the drop, although it is still a big ask.

Re: More local competition for good players now at Blyth
That's quite a few of us that are worried. I think you are right to be a bit sceptical. When these characters come in and start using phrases like “Sleeping Giant ” it suggests to me that they think there is a lot of untapped potential support that is going to be available at the first sign of succ...

Re: Boston v Darlington 20/02/24
Good effort in the first half, but after the 2nd goal went in around 65 minutes, we just faded tamely away. Unfortunately, the old failings again showed through. A failure to take our chances, and then paying the price for defensive lapses. Surely Curry has to start up front alongside Main. By the t...

Re: Boston v Darlington 20/02/24
H/t 1 nil Boston. We have played well and created some decent chances, unfortunately Nelson has missed a couple of really good opportunities. They have had very few clear chances, the goal conceded was poor. Looked like Siddick should have cleared the ball in the build up.

Re: South Shields v Darlo
Having watched the highlights and seen the sendings off again I agree that the first one was the correct decision. It was a long way from the goal, but there was no covering defender and no legitimate attempt to win the ball, so think the referee was brave but made the right call. The second red was...

Re: Boston v Darlington 20/02/24
I think someone posted on another topic that Jacob Hazel is currently injured, and he I noticed he wasn’t in the Boston squad that beat Bishop Stortford on Saturday. Hopefully, then we will be spared the curse of the former striker scoring against us.
