Darlo v York
Darlo v York
Tough game incoming having Saturday, Tuesday games for the last couple of weeks and with York not only having midweek off but also all week to prepare for the game. They've not had the best of starts largely due to injuries in their back line but it seems like things are starting to come together for them. They certainly have choice of two big lads upfront in Donaldson and Beck who will cause us problems if we're not challenging for and winning our share of headers at the back.
4-3-3 seems to have given us the most competitive so it makes sense to stick with it and I've gone for the team.below. GK and back 4 picks itself. Wasn't there on Tueaday to see how Hedley got on at CM but was there at Brackley and the midfield 3 were excellent that night so going to bring Ourver back in. For me Rivers offers some of the natural width you need of you're playing 4-3-3 so I'd bring him in for Nelson. Hopefully Cassidy will have the fire in his belly to prove those York fans that slated him wrong, think he's had a very promising start to the season. On the bench we have some good options in Dos Santos, Nelson and Lambert who could all come on and potentially change the shape of the team.
-------------------------- Taylor -----------------------
Griffiths --- Cooper --- Storey ------ Smith
------- Purver --- Hatfield --- Wheatley -----
------- Rivers ---- Cassidy --- Charman -----
Subs: Hedley, Beeden, Dos Santos, Nelson, Lambert
Hopefully a big crowd down at BM and a win to keep on pushing us up the table.

Re: Darlo v York
Is Beeden injured, hasn’t featured much lately, might need him to counter Becks hight.

No not injured as far as I know just not good enough based on his appearances so far.Darlopartisan wrote: ↑Fri Sep 24, 2021 5:55 pmIs Beeden injured, hasn’t featured much lately, might need him to counter Becks hight.

Agree with the starting 11 from the opening poster.

Re: Darlo v York
Just hope we can put it all together against York, decent crowd & well behaved, decent ref & officials, decent weather, decent prepared pitch and decent competitive match. Mind, I would swap that for a flukey 1-0 win in the blink of an eye.
Re: Darlo v York
I'll have to see it again, but that might just be the most astonishing sending-off I've ever seen.

Re: Darlo v York
As I say, I'll have to see it again, but I can't remember ever being more astonished to see a red card brandished, so I'm not wrong to say that it might just be the most astonishing sending-off I've ever seen.
Just let me be astonished, alright?!

Interesting take from someone who wasn't there and isn't a fan of either side playing today. Dont you normally need outstanding proof, such as Mr Groves 7 figure investment into the club, to give an opinion on such things?spen666 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 25, 2021 4:42 pmno complaint on club twitter accountnor any suggestion on York twitter of anything other than a straight red31’ | RED CARD - COOPER

Got to remember our social media feeds are handled professionally. Not like say Spennymoor. I could point to examples where your social media team tried to blame BPA for not accepting a price cut for the playoff game despite BPA pointing out it was against league rules.... but its been conveniently deleted without apology by FC Holier Than Thou.
I'll wait to see some of the game before I comment, but sounded like a spirited second half when we could have crumbled with things going against us. Was always going to be hard against a full time side with the number of games we've played recently.
Telford game next week becomes a big one.

Re: Darlo v York
That referee was absolutely shocking. Spoilt the game.
Re: Darlo v York
It wasn't serious foul play or violent conduct, he didn't deny an obvious goalscoring opportunity and there was no offensive or insulting or abusive language so I'd say, yes, it was an astonishing decision. The York fans I spoke to thought Cooper must have said something because they couldn't belueve the challenge warranted a red. I assume AA was sent to the balcony because of something he said to the clown.
Re: Darlo v York
I was in the tin shed so quite a long way away, but although there wasn’t much force in the tackle Coopers tackle was very high, looked thigh area. I tried to argue against it at first and I need to see it again, but it I think the red card was fair. Cooper didn’t argue either. It would definitely be given in the prem. Penalty looked like Purver hauled Beck down. He might have gone easily, but which striker wouldn’t, so again probably the right decision.
In all honesty I don’t think the referee had that bad a match and I’m usually the first to have a go at them.
As to the game, we were very good first 15 minutes, let them dictate for the next 10 and they scored a very scrappy goal. Sending off changed things, but we kept battling to the end and York fans must have been embarrassed at the end when they were keeping the ball in the corner against 10 men.

Re: Darlo v York
The York Press said: "It was perhaps a touch harsh on the Darlo man, whose body-check on Dyson definitely deserved a yellow, and the red seemed to catch most of the crowd by surprise."
I can tell you that Cooper was astonished by the decision as were all of the players nearby and at least one member of the York coaching staff. No-one would have raised an eyebrow if that had been a yellow card.

Re: Darlo v York
I know it is early in the season and that a couple of wins will paint a very different picture, but I have a sense that there will be half a dozen or so teams scrabbling to avoid being in the bottom two and that we will be in that mix.

I haven't made any take on it. I was asking why the poster thought it was the most astonishing red card they had ever seen when neither of the tweets quoted seemed to say there was anything controversial.
I haven't given an opinion on the sending off and won't.

Spen actually spends more time talking about Darlington, trying to get a rise out of Darlo fans, than the club he alleges he supports.

Re: Darlo v York
Telling that Purver was put to centre back and Taylor was kept on the bench??
Re: Darlo v York
Extremely. We appear to have 2 unselectable centre halves in the squad, a similar situation to Jonny Burn and James Caton.JasonDeVos wrote: ↑Sat Sep 25, 2021 7:29 pmTelling that Purver was put to centre back and Taylor was kept on the bench??
Re: Darlo v York
Neither Taylor or Beeden are ready for this level of football which means Armstrong will again be scratting around for a loan centre half to cover Coopers suspension .
Lose to Telford next week and the timer should be starting.Tick tock Alun.

Re: Darlo v York
Big problem for us having Cooper suspended if he is unable to appeal against his red card. Anyone know how many games he is likely to be suspended for?JasonDeVos wrote: ↑Sat Sep 25, 2021 7:29 pmTelling that Purver was put to centre back and Taylor was kept on the bench??
Agree with your comment regarding Taylor as you would have expected AA to send on a central defender to replace Cooper and perhaps sacrifice a midfielder. Also telling that we were facing a big threat in the air today from Beck and our tallest defender Beedon not even on the bench.
Re: Darlo v York
Absolutely, even the lino on seating stand side was shocking, shouting "man on" & almost coaching York then not giving fouls / offsides etc. Beck had more handfuls of our back 4 than Prince Andrew. In 2nd half, ref started to flash York some cards but too late to make any difference.
Why do we keep getting these incompetent officials? QTV will show just how bad they were.
