Darlo Uncovered

We all assume York will only sign players who want full-time football. That they will necessarily retain their full-time model or not adopt some hybrid solution. They may want a mix of players to cut costs. In any case, full-time is a notional concept. I don't think Harrogate players will train ever...

I think you have let your bias show there roadrunner. Guess this means your rumour making has been an attempt to undermine the fan owned model. Definition of Investor: a person or organisation that puts money into financial schemes, property, etc. with the expectation of achieving a profit. Can som...

The key now is to stabilise ourselves off the pitch and grow. Once again, much easier said than done, but if we'd tried to match MG's ambitions, it would have killed the club - we don't yet have the infrastructure in place. If by the end of the season we've finished upper mid-table, managed to be w...

Possibly although small beer to bookies this type of bet. Alternatively bookies trying to get people to heap on and they know it's not him

Tall and gangly so probably a replacement for Beck.

But the wider point still stands. Given our perilously fragile finances, is it sensible to be talking about overhauling the squad six weeks into the new season? Is that a sensible way to run a football club which has massive off-the-field development to take place? This is the conversation we now n...

Earlier in the week, TDS suggested having a fans' forum. Initially I scoffed, but on the basis of today, I think it's now important. The wider fanbase certainly needs to discuss where we go from here in the long term. Do forums ever achieve anything? I'm all for a select group of fans to meet up to...

I still dont understand why we didn't just keep offering an extension of the 500 club until we got the seats paid for. I know it ties us in another uear but that's less of a handicap I feel than essentially playing for nothing, without the seats then there is no point in any of it. Sent from my SM-...

So if we wondered whether this team had reached its level, I think we now know it has. To be outplayed, outfought and outhought by a team 2 leagues below is embarrassing. 3-0 didn't really do the Balance of the game justice! A lot of today must be blamed on gray. Why play 4-5-1 with Only one half f...

I think our style of play is part of why crowds are dropping. While long ball style has been successful in the past it's not pretty to watch. We have got away with it so far because we have been winning the majority of our matches. Now we have been found out by more organised teams who do their res...

I was seriously impressed by Vaulks. He's probably the most composed CB I've seen us have since 2012 and looks like he can actually read the game and drop off when needed whereas others at this level and bells have been very much front foot defenders, get to the ball at all costs - that's admirable...

As I said in my statement what the fans have achieved to date is phenomenal, especially when you consider that it's been done by about 300 people. We really need to start tapping into the wider supporter base if we are to be successful and that's a huge challenge. Crowd funding should be exactly th...

Of course, the fact is none of this hand-wringing about BM, signage, Heritage Park etc, etc would be happening on here if we were three points clear at the top of the league. In my opinion, it would be more reason to think about how we create an infrastructure to sustain these aspirations. My view ...

Again I agree. I don't think the faithful should object to a small price rise.

9 Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk Well all those possible reasons could explain a sustained drop in form. The fact is we are at a crossroads in terms of the club we want to be, whether we have an investor lined up or not. Our fans have done something truly miraculous this summer. They have rai...

Just got back from Chorley after taking 2 hrs down 3hours back due to road closures all over the place just like our defence apart from Bartlett who was tremendous producing the best save I have seen since peter springett for QPR at FEETHAMS in 1966 . Here's my ratings Bartlett 10 pleased he,s stay...

Almost impossible to form a judgement given the lack of game time.

I didn't think it was a bad game between 2 competitive teams. Personally, I don't see either side really challenging for an instant promotion spot from what I saw but they'll be around the top 7/8 come season end. Darlo's preferred long ball style (2nd ball theory) which has served us fantastically ...

This is a great idea. I'll be cancelling my boost the budget payments and putting them towards this instead until the stand is funded. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk A fantastic idea. I'm on the same page as you as regards priorities more so that the recent evidence suggests success on the fi...

I think we bounced today after several hard games. Players are athletes not machines. Slightly surprised we didn't use other members of the squad in the starting line up. Hindsight is easy

Collins should have gone. Fair point.

excluding cup games I would say leo fortune west on a consistent basis.

I spoke to two people and they said they only ever go to away games. No reason given just that the way it is. I told them that doesn't pay the bills but I knew they wouldn't be changing their habits very soon. I sensed ab air of nostalgia about it and it is quite possible that some will not attend u...

I recollect an away team turning up at HP late and the kick off was delayed. This looks amateurish.

I thought they played some decent stuff going forward. Their runners off the centre forward where better than ours, and they were more inventive. Thankfully, they were worse defensively than us. Thought Bartlett was pretty ropey tonight. If that had been Jameson...........Caton should have had a co...

Despite a class goal from Galbraith & neat header Beck, some poor stuff on show. Too much space and slack marking allowed Trinity to score the first goal, then come back from 3-1 down to equalise. Very little trace of method apart from relying on flicks on from Beck which usually ended up giving th...

The lad is class. He's got a great touch. He sees things others don't. He's a proper terrier of a forward, chasing everything. And when played in the right formation, a formidable threat. For me, he had his best moments last season, when he came off the bench after 60 mins or so. When the opponents...

Very interested to hear your rationale behind us dropping 2 or 3 places from last season. my take is the static budget and the full-time status of one or two clubs - Salford and Harrogate will improve. In addition, and something that has been missed, is 4 derby games. derby games are never easy. I'...

We really looked good in parts today. A very one sided game that we controlled for large parts of the game. Scott was a class apart in midfield and Syas always looked dangerous. The triallists played well 2nd half. If there is a nagging concern for me from all the friendlies it is despite this domin...
