[campdave]

Negatives - plenty of easy chances put wide

Positives - good performance from Roche to keep us in it early on
Danny Adams' Ole football near the end

[Bare bum]

Negatives,

I think we have 2 or 3 better wingers / wide players than the ones who started today
Woeful finishing
Woeful referee
Mullers and Jevvos pace

Positives

Haining and Artell mostly excellent
Danny Adams looked like and played like Maradonna when he came on
2 or 3 excellent saves from Bazza
Lots of industry from midfield - Stanners and Drummy
Jevvos football brain

[George Dawes]

positives

Mullin & Jevons is our best option upfront they complement each other

Wainwright's to say he's right footed his left-foot as improved so much and can now go either way round a fullback

oh and 3 points


negatives

subtitutions, when we was 2 up we could have rested some legs and brought fresh ones on

[james456]

Positives -

1. Three points. Everything else is secondary really.
2. The strikeforce coming back into form.
3. Both wingers did well - pleasing to see some pace and trickery from Duffy - just needs more consistency. Wainwright was up for it as well.
4. The defending was reasonably good all in all.

Negatives -

1. Finishing was not great. Jevons missed a couple but you have to cut him some slack as he's just back from injury.
2. At times we lacked just that little bit of creativity. There were occasions where we played decent football to get the ball to the Darlington box but then ran out of ideas.


Overall, we may have to play better against Burton but this is a platform for the players to take confidence from and of course it's a fully deserved three points.

[parkyboy]

good result but still need the terrier lhunter in midfield what has SM got against him all of a sudden

....a question that I'm sure Gaz would like answering...but he'll only get an answer if he's spoken to...

[Heysham_Shrimp]

Positives Stanners and Drummy in great form in midfield.

Paul Mullins link up play with Phil Jevons. on another day Jevs would have scored a
hat-trick.

3 points to take us over 40 point mark.


negatives we should have scored 5 or 6 today. Chances have to be taken.

a poor attendance on a perfect day.

[matty]

Mullin ... is our best option upfront

[Curly]

Positives; Barry Roche, Danny Adams 1920's Footballing Exhibition, Craig Stanley pushing the ref
over ,Getting A Chance To Open The Box.

missing Curly losing £1100 on open the box, if I'd paid attention it might have been the butterfly flapping it's wing on a Pacific Island..............sorry mate

I think Sammy got the subs bang on this time why change the team to much while we are comfortable and 2 nil, yep some times it don't work but this time it did fair play to sammy!!

[Caged Lion]

Positives
Valuable win
Stanners splattering the ref
Roche made a few fantastic saves
Haining
Wing play
Better link up play, through balls
Mullin winning headers and holding the ball

Negatives
The cold

[parkyboy]

Use of todays sub was the right thing to do in most peoples eyes but we had 7 subs plus 4/5 others so how many of them are going to still be with us next season bearing in mind the non selection of them this season

[George Dawes]

let me explain my comment about substitutions


unless your not aware we have a match on Tuesday night


and Darlington with 15/20mins? to go did not have 2 goals in them to level it


so why not introduce Hunter Panther Twiss for some key players who SM will start on Tuesday

Yes we were comfortable with 20 mins to go but it wouldn't be the first time when in the same situation we have made 2/3 un-enforced changes late on, lost the initiative and gone on to lose the game. A couple of notable occasions when Harvey was manager spring to mind when he did exactly that and he took an absolute slating following the loss!

Sometimes it's a case of 'if it's not broke don't try and fix it'. We needed the points desperately yesterday and Darlington weren't completely out of it. Twenty minutes should neither be here nor there for a professional athlete, particularly in a game where the pace had gone out of it. Personally I think Sammy and Mark got it absolutely spot on!

[Harry]

Positives-

Efficient team performance throughout
Playing with 2 wingers and both threatening without the midfield becoming over-run
Number of chances created
Grizzly Adams returning from the Brazilian soccer school

Negatives-

Missing simple chances - Jevons could have had a hat trick
Wasteful dead-ball situations
Lack of atmosphere despite being 2-0 up and by far the better side
