Pretty much agree with all of the above.
He did his primary job of defending well enough but when we was needed to to be an extra attacking option, he got to the final third but the final ball wasn’t good enough. If we need the full backs to support and supplement the wide attacking player then the final ball should produce a better output.
Saying that he was one of those players that gave you at least 7 out of 10 each week.

Darlington tonight were everything that we weren’t
Resolute in defence, hunting in 2’s and 3’s, swift in attack with direct forward passing and not afraid to put it into the box or shoot.
Stop the tippy tappy lateral rubbish as that just allows the opposition to sit 11 men behind the ball.

I find on here, you can have quite an interesting debate. You might not agree with others and others might not agree with you but you are allowed to voice our opinion in our club without the threat of your post being removed, just as long as you stick to the rules (which to be honest shouldn’t be to hard).
On the Facebook site especially during the Hilton era, if your post didn’t suit that days narrative it was removed without warning, although I did think some of the posts were comedic and obviously taking the mic of the members of the Facebook group that took everything as gospel.
I think what owners/chairman(women) of football clubs and supporters of their regime don’t like is when faceless individuals critique the way they conduct their business and the way that they run the football club (they forget that just because their name is above the door, it doesn’t make it theirs. They are custodians and without the fans/supporters the football club would disappear). As long as that criticism is constructive, truthful and non-libellous then I don’t see the problem. Their problem is that they can’t bully that person into being quiet when they probably are used to that happening.

So in the North region at the time of the draw the number 1 rated team will play the number 2 rated team.
Unless there is a more romantic tie the BBC should be showing this on the Red Button

Ironfromafar, there are many ways but the way that I do it is through my laptop (log on via a VPN coming from a non UK country if you want to get around the UEFA Article 48 regulation not that I would encourage anyone to disrespect any UEFA regulation).
Buy the game via http://www.nationalleaguetv.com and connect your laptop to your brand spanking new TV via an HDMI cable (I am assuming that both the laptop and the TV have an HDMI port).
I am also assuming that as it is on the SUFC website that the National League TV service will start broadcasting our games from the National League North.

I have a feeling that we will be selling out our allocation many more times this season.

As much as I agree or disagree with any poster on here the beauty of a forum is that anyone can post. PS or DH or anyone can post what ever they want (within the rules). If you or I don’t agree with their comments then you or I can either comment back (as long as the rules are followed) or just not waste time in engaging.
I think we should be grateful that we have this facility and also appreciate the cost (in both time and money) that it takes to keep it up and running. At one point last week I was worried that the Bru would be no more.
Hopefully we can move on from this period with a greater positivity from all.
I thought the whole purpose of pre-season was to –
a. Gel and integrate new signings into the culture of their new team
b. Work on fitness and avoid injury
c. Work on systems, new formations, trying different players within the new formations
d. Work on attacking and defending set piece routines
e. Learn from mistakes
And bring all the above together by playing games against opposition who are also trying the above in their own way.I would much rather the management team and players be doing all the above than smashing whatever team they are playing 10-0. As much as it is nice winning 7,8,9,10,11-0 do you learn anything from that? (yes we can score goals but as a contest it’s potentially over as soon as the third goal goes in).
We saw last season that you cant just chuck 10+ players into a team and expect them to come up with the goods, it takes time. And that is the beauty of pre season. There should be nothing on the results I’m more bothered about staying free from injury, creating a starting 11 with 5 subs who can slot in when/where required and have a sub set of players who can interchange with the 16 matchday players when/where required and the whole squad knowing what their role and what is expected of them when they are playing.Save the performances and results for when they really matter starting on the 5th of August.

There you go, knock yourself out, have a look (I’m not wasting my time)

Sorry for the long post (and I think I am using it as therapy session) but all I can say is that Rome wasn’t built in a day, especially when the previous Rome was all but destroyed because of the previous Emperor’s family decided to let it all fall to wrack and ruin when they couldn’t get their own way (too many instances to mention but we all history and examples).
Personally, I work in the world of I.T. where mistakes do happen, but they are reviewed and learned from so they are not made again in the future so I am looking at the current situation using that view. Even in this world updates take a while to design, develop, test and install and continuous improvement is always happening behind the scenes of the end user.
I suppose it is the adage, the proof will be in the eating. Thankfully we all have a club to support at a level where we should be one of the bigger clubs, but that will provide its own pressures so the new potential first team players should be recruited with that in mind and not only be good enough to perform at this level but also handle the pressures and expectation, not just from the other sides in the division but also the (hopefully) 3000+ home support.
But we must cut our cloth accordingly. If we can only spend what budget, we have then we only spend what we have. Gone are the days of gambling to get into the Championship at all costs, paying stupid inflated wages to crap players who should never have worn the claret and blue shirt but because we have recruited late that is all that are available and the sacking of managers left, right and centre on a whim. We need (and using another I.T. reference) a stable platform for the new update to perform successfully.
Hopefully we only spend a season in the NLN and the get into the FL as soon as we can after that. Easier said than done, if we look at Wrexham they needed (and I will quote someone else) ‘a cheat code’ to get out of the National League after 15 seasons, even then the ‘cheat code’ didn’t work in the first season it was deployed, just so long as we don’t turn into some of the obnoxiousness that some of their fanbase portray (they should be scoring 100+ goals and getting 100+ points using League 1 players in the National League).
The biggest downside is that several local players won’t be able to display their talents in our academies, but would we have seen the likes of O’Malley, Beestin, Pugh, Shrimpton, Wilson, Foster and Gallimore if we were not forced into doing so to plug the gaps because the funds ran out? I would hate to think that their development as players has been harmed because of this, with luck they all have long careers at our club, I just hope that in the next decade we have another 7+ players in our teams that we can say ‘they are one of our own’.
We all have our opinions and that is what makes football great but as in our name we can all stand United and look towards a brighter future.
