    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.

    New manager and they seem to like what he wants to do.

    So take the game to them from 1st to last minute.

    In 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!!

    Its 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.

    Interesting stat.
    New manager accrues almost 2/3rds of Darlo’s points this season in just a couple of months.

    Curzon 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 ?

    Chance 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.

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

    Beat Millwall 3 times in our 08/09 promotion season. Dunno if it’s happened since.
