No, they’ve suddenly learned how to score goals!

Blimey, you’re right!
It won’t be as straightforward as it initially looks on paper.

I’ve just looked at their recent form:

Last 4 games:
4th Darlo P4 W3 D0 L1 GF7 GA5 GD+2 Pts9
11th Iron P4 W1 D2 L1 GF4 GA4 GD0 Pts5

Last 6 games:
5th Darlo W4 D0 L2 GF11 GA7 GD+4 Pts12
17th Iron W1 D3 L2 GF5 GA6 GD-1 Pts6

Last 8 games:
10th Darlo W4 D0 L4 GF12 GA10 GD+2 Pts12
17th Iron W2 D3 L3 GF7 GA7 GD0 Pts9

Last 10 games:
10th Darlo W5 D0 L5 GF14 GA11 GD+3 Pts15
16th Iron W3 D3 L4 GF8 GA9 GD-1 12Pts

Last 12 games:
8th Darlo W6 D0 L6 GF15 GA13 GD+2 Pts18
13th Iron W4 D4 L4 GF12 GA11 GD+1 Pts16

They don’t do draws.
Looking at that lot, they are quite likely to score 2 goals, we’ll probably score 1 goal.
Will it be a case of ‘after the parade?’
Not surprisingly, the shortest priced correct scorecast is 1-1 @ 5/1

Sadly:
Darlo 2-1 Iron (14/1)

I think Saturday was just a case of ‘papering over the cracks’

I can see ‘normal service’ resuming tomorrow evening with players reverting to type.
