You should really rest Morgan-Smith, Austin, Sterling, Carrington and anyone else important to your good form this weekend. Leave them in the Midlands, it's cold up north and you wouldn't want them missing for the West Ham game haha.
On a serious note, we seem to have brought our A-game for...
Yeah I know what you mean. Main point was the variety of goals he's scored this season. Out the box, in the box, tap ins, left foot, right foot, headers. He's proven he can do it all.
Think he's ready for League 2 no problem, he's had to do a lot himself this season so think with better...
You, Rochdale, Solihull Moors and AFC Fylde amongst others are apparently interested. 24 years old spent his whole youth career at Newcastle, 11 goals in 15 appearances this season. Contracted through to summer 2023 so should hopefully generate a decent fee if he goes.
Scored all sorts of goals...
Think most Darlo fans would have taken a point pre-game and looking at the goals for and against of both sides a score draw was a pretty likely result. But to be 2 up with 10 minutes to go and draw 2-2 is disappointing. Decent crowd by the looks of it, who got a bit of entertainment. Got lots of...
Good 3-1 win away at Kettering today. They're a solid side, not pretty (very Paul Cox) but they'll get plenty of points this season from bullying teams. They bullied us off the pitch for the first 30 minutes. Though probably speaks volumes that we scored all the goals today, thought they were...
Agree on Southport they are just what you need to survive in this league.
Think Blyth and BPA are better candidates for potential relegation maybe even add Gloucester to that list if they don't get their defence sorted out and Hereford if they don't start scoring.
Got to say I think everyone was surprised to see you guys down at the bottom of the league. Admittedly the way Rowe got Chesterfield playing in the back end of last season showed it was no fluke he had you doing well in the league clearly a good manager so was it just a case of a bad...
Got any thoughts or feelings for tomorrow's game? Full squad available?
Like you say it should be a good one. We've improved at the back since Cooper and now Ellis have come in, albeit against two sides who have been low scorers this year. So you guys will be a proper test of whether our...
Fair enough, not taken as a pop. Always interested to hear what opposition fans think of us / games we've been involved in. It's what makes it interesting everyone seeing it differently etc.
It's interesting you're so undersold on the season so far based on the league position (albeit...
Not sure I really understand the point. Long trip on a Tuesday night and we came out the blocks well, got our deserved early goal. Wilkin got his tactics wrong not matching our 3 min midfield as it left Purver all the time in the world to dictate play. You had a man sent of (deservedly in the...
It was appealed on the basis the referee admitted after the game that it should have been a yellow and the referees assessor marked the ref down on the basis he too thought it should have been a yellow. Both these comments went into the match report apparently, which was submitted to the FA...
Yeah unfortunately the ground is what it is. Its what we could afford at the time to get back to Darlo. But now between the Rugby Club being uninterested in letting us buy in and not wanting any more development on the site. And an unsupportive council and a lack of benefactor to pay for and...
Sounded like a good turn out from York fans.
Wasn't at the game so can't comment on the sending off and penalty incidents till I've seen the highlights. But fair have seen people saying they spoke to Andy Collett at HT and Post Match and he was surprised to see a red.
Was always going to be...
Darlo v York tomorrow. Not the start to the season that either side would have hoped for or expected. But hopefully should be a decent game infront of a good crowd. Any guesses how many you'll bring York fans?
York v Whitby not a bad shout, although probably more likely if Whitby were at home.
If we can get through vs Chester then Marske V Darlo would also have a pretty good chance of being on TV. Could see us taking 1000 or so across to the Teesside coast for the game should we make it.
That is a good deal. Problem is if they're offering cheap deals people are taking it up and attendances are going down then matchday income will become a pittance.
Never understood the change of manager either. When we played them last year they looked a shadow of the sides John Flanagan built...
They seemed to be averaging c.950 in their first season back at this level after the change in ownership. Which is why it stood out as poor. Not that I particularly blame them, watching football at that bloody running track is awful, even worse for away fans now as they get stuck in the open in...
Got to say Heath was the reason I couldn't put you any higher on the predictions thread. Some good players signed albeit a few of them in the final year/s of their careers or trying to recover from bad injuries. But he just seems to have been found out at this level, hasn't worked since he took...
Good crowds at Gloucester and Spennymoor. Those Alfreton, Gateshead and Curzon crowds must be a concern for clubs. Not glamorous ties for any of them but the first home game in a long time for a lot of clubs and that's all they can muster.
