The Quakers ain’t no Shakers and we will out (George) fox them.
March 2, 2024 at 5:56 pm #281940No, 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 Pts5Last 6 games:
5th Darlo W4 D0 L2 GF11 GA7 GD+4 Pts12
17th Iron W1 D3 L2 GF5 GA6 GD-1 Pts6Last 8 games:
10th Darlo W4 D0 L4 GF12 GA10 GD+2 Pts12
17th Iron W2 D3 L3 GF7 GA7 GD0 Pts9Last 10 games:
10th Darlo W5 D0 L5 GF14 GA11 GD+3 Pts15
16th Iron W3 D3 L4 GF8 GA9 GD-1 12PtsLast 12 games:
8th Darlo W6 D0 L6 GF15 GA13 GD+2 Pts18
13th Iron W4 D4 L4 GF12 GA11 GD+1 Pts16They 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 @ 5/1Sadly:
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.

In the background of the above video:
Northern Division – Counties 2 Durham & Northumberland League.
Darlington RFC 17 – 15 Horden & Peterlee RFC
March 4, 2024 at 8:41 am #282004New manager and they seem to like what he wants to do.
So take the game to them from 1st to last minute.
March 4, 2024 at 8:44 am #282005In terms of effort from the players the standard was set on Saturday. Nothing less is acceptable and they need to be fully aware of fans expectations for every match not just ‘selected’ ‘big’ games. I hope they can quickly recover and repeat their efforts. Come on Iron!!

March 4, 2024 at 12:10 pm #282011Its not the effort that’s the problem it’s the Tempo we play at, we were quick out the blocks Saturday went to sleep and then stepped it up at the end Jimmy was shouting at them most of the first half to speed it up.
March 4, 2024 at 12:19 pm #282014So it’s the team that’s the problem not Jimmy then?

March 4, 2024 at 1:02 pm #282017It’s EIGHT games since we last scored in the first half of a league game.
Patience is a virtue.
The 2-2 draw with Chester moves us on to nine games without scoring in the first half.
They’ve only scored in the first half in 3 out of their last 10 games.

They maybe missing three or four players who started on Saturday due to injuries.

Midas touch at the moment!
I’m really looking forward to this game tonight. He’s got them playing some good football.
March 5, 2024 at 8:39 am #282042Curzon 1-3 Darlo
Great equaliser by Curzon. Good strike from distance by Hatfield to go 2-1 up.
Hatfield looks effective as the sitting midfielder.
Look like 4-1-3-2 ?March 5, 2024 at 12:53 pm #282051YoungSunderland shot stopper.
Matty Young is only 17 and has represented England at U19 level.
March 5, 2024 at 1:36 pm #282053Chance to win 3 times against the same team in one season tonight, I know it’s happened once before Who was it against. And have we done it anymore times?
Don’t expect to win tonight with a big crowd behind them.March 5, 2024 at 1:45 pm #282055No, they’ve suddenly learned how to score goals!

They’ve definitely got three out and have another two doubtful.

Don’t expect to win tonight with a big crowd behind them.Beat Millwall 3 times in our 08/09 promotion season. Dunno if it’s happened since.

March 5, 2024 at 8:04 pm #282058Well this isn’t going to plan!
March 5, 2024 at 8:06 pm #282059Back to slow laboured build up, Whitehall isolated. Being shown up by part timers again – need to massively improve
March 5, 2024 at 8:18 pm #282060Absolute shit show so far.
