Nelson having COVID was public knowledge. Try doing some research next time and you won’t look so silly. There’s a good lad.

Silly me I thought the purpose was to nominate players who may be able to come on to the pitch and change the game or provide cover for injuries.

When people who take themselves way too seriously (I.E. you) end up falling flat on their face, it brings me great joy.
Trying informing yourself next time. You’ll avoid looking so daft in future. Newspapers are good. So is the club website. Give them a try.
Re: Darlington v Leamington 23/10/21
At the Aycliffe game Nelson played the full 90 minutes, and had plenty of running in him, but late in the first half he stretched out a leg to try a intercept a ball and looked uncomfortable for a short while and didn't seem to run as much in the second half, seeming to be more concentrating on positional play, and bringing others around him into the game (had a good awareness). Maybe he was still feeling the effects of the full game on Saturday and the management did not want to chance a recurrence of his injury. A supporter near me pointed out that Nelson had lost a bit of weight and looked fitter, so may be on the road to full fitness and injury free but think it may be a short while yet before they chance it.
Re: Darlington v Leamington 23/10/21
Only just watched the highlights. Looks like we created chances and had either the Cassidy or Hatfield shots In the second half found the net I think we'd have probably gone on to win. Can understand some of the criticism around not making changes or bringing Nelson on, but watching the highlights, it seemed like it was the width we had was hurting them first half. I wouldn't have taken Charman off the Form he's in and Cassidy is the type for striker you want on the pitch as he occupies defenders if you're going to put crosses in. So could you really bring Nelson on without changing shape and losing a bit of the width that seemed to be serving us well.
Looking at the league table we're slightly behind where I wanted us to be this season. I wanted us to be atleast 9 within a result of the playoffs and think with the additions of Cooper and Ellis we certainly have a squad that's capable of that. With that in mind though I'm not overly disappointed, we're certainly not the relegation fodder that some would have had you believe after 3 games, and we actually play some really nice football, we create chances and score goals. In the wider scheme of things with the challenges we'll ultimately have as a club in securing space of our own to build a ground and grow revenues etc, a competitive side in this league that plays nice football and isn't a million miles from the last couple of playoffs spots works for me at the moment.
I agreed with Armstrong pre Leamington game that we should be aiming for 7-9 points from Leamington, Southport and Guiseley. I still think that's the case. The draw in the first game puts pressure on that so it's up to the lads to get a positive result tonight against Southport. More than capable of scoring the goals to win games we just need to increase the clean sheets count now.

This website is about Darlo fans sharing ideas and information, I didn't know Nelson had contracted C19 until Andy Park mentioned it on here, your post was quite clear to me.

Looks like the Guiseley game on Saturday is in doubt, they’ve got Covid cases in the squad and tonight’s game vs Telford has been postponed.

Re: Darlington v Leamington 23/10/21
What the new procedure now? If you have been double jabbed you don't have to isolate I believe? So a postponment would depend on how many have contracted Covid and how many of the others haven't been vaxxed.

Re: Darlington v Leamington 23/10/21
If I remember correctly, if you have a positive test even if you are double jabbed you are still required to self isolate but if you're a contact of someone who has had a positive test you no longer have to do so. If they were unable to raise a team for tonight's game then it's clear there has been a sufficient number of cases within the squad to force a postponement, if tonight's game isn't on then it's highly doubtful Saturday will be either.Yarblockos wrote: ↑Tue Oct 26, 2021 10:22 amWhat the new procedure now?

Latest news on official site states that Guiesley are saying the game will go ahead as planned.

Not sure that’s quite the case. Indeed Guiseley have put out a statement to the contrary, saying Saturday’s game is very much still going ahead.quaker4life wrote:If I remember correctly, if you have a positive test even if you are double jabbed you are still required to self isolate but if you're a contact of someone who has had a positive test you no longer have to do so.

As you say, positive cases need to isolate even if double-jabbed. But I think the reason the game is off tonight is because they’ll be waiting for the PCR test results, which will presumably come in tomorrow. I don’t know how many Guiseley players are double-jabbed, but as you correctly say, double-jabbed players won’t have to isolate (although anyone who isn’t will).
If there’s even one case of COVID in the camp, they can’t let tonight’s game go ahead because they won’t know the extent of the outbreak, so you’d potentially be spreading the virus around further.
If the PCR tests for contacts and subsequent testing beyond that keep proving negative, then Saturday’s game should be fine.
It’ll only be in doubt if it turns out there’s a large outbreak of positive cases in the Guiseley squad.
So I think tonight’s postponement is more down to the uncertainty over how bad the outbreak is, rather than necessarily lots of Guiseley players having it. It could also be because not enough of their players are double-jabbed and therefore isolating until the results of their PCR tests, but obviously there’s no way for anyone to know that.
Put it this way, if loads of players were positive already, our game would already be off. That’s what I gleaned from Guiseley’s statement anyway.

I'm happy that the game is going ahead and we seem to have avoided more unwelcome disruption for the time being, going off what has happened previously with ourselves and other clubs this season whenever a game has been postponed the trend seemed to be the next one would follow due to the 10 day isolation period.
Hopefully those affected make a speedy recovery and do not suffer any serious symptoms.

Re: Darlington v Leamington 23/10/21
Yes let’s hope the Guiesley outbreak is isolated and the game on Saturday can go ahead as planned.
Personally I would like to see any players (or anyone else) who are not jabbed taken to a secure area and allowed to die if they catch Covid. However, I suppose the woke brigade might find that a little extreme but as I am an old git I don’t care if some people disagree with me.

On a more serious note I and many others are getting increasingly frustrated with a hard core of selfish morons who refuse to get inoculated against Covid and yet expect the NHS to look after them when they become seriously ill. Waiting lists for surgery are at record levels and yet 8,000+ beds are taken up with Covid patients the majority of which have refused to be vaccinated.
Re: Darlington v Leamington 23/10/21
The stuff I've read suggests that around 4 in 10 people admitted to hospital with covid are not fully vaccinated. But yes that still means it is a significant number.
