The lad made a comment years ago, he has explained the comment. He is not an IRA supporter, he is a football coach and by all accounts a highly qualified one, he has been given the opportunity to turn this team around along with a well respected and successful assistant. I have been told he is a really nice, honest and genuine bloke and plays quick and sharp football, he has a very modern approach to the game, with Jim Harvey offering the "old school" type experience. The club is in need of new ideas and let's hope Darren can give it the boost it needs. One thing is for sure he needs the support of the fans from the off, some people may not be excited by the appointment and some may think it is the wrong appointment, but he has been given the job so the least we can do as fans of the club is welcome him and his No.2 and offer our full support

I suspect we will know by close of play on Thursday
-
Think it is called.We haven't got a pot to p*** in!! long, long season ahead. I,M afraid.
Or the budget was spent before the season. Maybe, just maybe the board have said the manager has to generate his own funds if he wants new players? At the end of the day it is his recruitment that has fallen short and needs tinkering with
-
Need to shift them out before he can bring them in
-
Fair enough! It didn't apply to us when we were in the lower leagues but I guess it's dependant on the level the buying club is at rather than the selling club.
I think that is the case.
-
Can't we still sign from the lower leagues though (i.e. Conf North and below) even outside the transfer window?
Not as far as I am aware
-
If we want to bring in players from other clubs we have to bring them in today, however if we are relying on free agents or loanees Aspin will wait until next week when that window reopens again.
Wonder if we see a loanee come in from Redditch?
-
New centre half, a new striker and possibly a new midfielder
-
Absolute shambles, no effort at all for the last 45 mins. Big problems
-
Looks like Elliot Whitehouse may have played his last game for the club
-
moodyb1 may have already written this somewhere but we're only 6 points off top aren't we...
Only 1 point from safety
-
Would be very interested to know if Aspin improved his coaching qualifications over the summer and did he go and visit other clubs higher up the pyramid to speak to other coaches and watch them in action?
-
The old club was a shambles - but it was our shambles, something the fans were a part of.
The new club has an outwards view of being run well, but is just as shambolic as the old one was, if not more so - minus the debt.
The major difference with the new club is that it doesnt feel like its ours. It belongs to three directors who run it - and its to hell with the rest of us if it doesnt suit them.
I will keep supporting and backing the club, but lets be under no allusion, its not the same as the old one. Whilst run better financially, in every other department, most importantly the one in the community, we are failing miserably.
Don't get this old club belonging nonsense. Why did it belong to us? Because we were constantly being asked to put our hands in our pockets? What do you prefer? One financial crisis to another, but the knowledge that you are part of the club? (Something I never felt anyway) or a club that is being run prudently off the pitch, albeit with big improvements needed but you don't feel part of it?
For me I feel no more or less part of the FC Halifax Town than I did of Halifax Town FC

Listening to him other week i'm surprised he's still here.This season is
going to scupper his otherwise impressive cv.He labours the points of lack of
training facilities and meagre budgets.The windfalls he's brought in should have
facilitated major improvements in these areas.He stated there is nowhere to train
when it gets dark...FFS Trinity Academy has a full size 3g pitch with floodlights,
won't the board stump up hiring that for say 4 hours a week....
Better training facilities, floodlit training pitch etc would all be great, but it wouldn't alter the managers thinking that he needs to play strikers out of position and be pretty inflexible in his approach to match day. I am not advocating his exit, far from it, but at times I do think he is to regimented in his team set up. The work ethic he demands from his players is superb but that should be the bare minimum every player at this club gives as a matter of course, at times it seems to me the players are playing within themselves and need to be allowed to "release the shackles"

Is he fast enough for CB?
Don't need to be quick at centre back if you can read the game.
-
People have short memories, every time we have played 5 at the back at home it's been a total distaser.
I think it's a case of changing the personal rather than the formation.
Bring in Hutchison at CB move Hamza forward.
Please do not have Hamza in midfield
-
Agree, Hughes definitely didn't do enough to warrant even a consideration of making the team.
Although with McDonald potentially injured, he may get a start through a lack of alternatives.
Mcdonald has tweeted today that they had a good session. This morning and he is ready for Tuesday's game.
-
2 meters wider than Chesters pitch and 2 meters shorterGot to make the most of the big Shay pitch imo.I would start with 2 wingers.MacDonald & Hughes.Back 4 of Bolton,Hutchison, Bencherif & McManus. James & Whitehouse in the middle. Bishop & Burrow up top.We might get overrun in midfield. If so we can always change it.Got to go on the offensive from the start.
-
Glennon
Bolton Brown Bencherif Macc
James
Hughes Whitehouse Hibbs Macdonald
Burrow
4-1-4-1
On second thoughts I would swap Brown for Hutchison as I fear Chester will know all his weaknesses and exploit them
-
Disappointing that it seems as though we played with one up front (if that was the case) as when the team was announced it looked very much a 4-3-3
-
Guiseley sign Huddersfield winger Jake Charles on a month long youth loan. Heard a lot of good things about the lad.
Guiseley look to be making some decent signings. Atkinson & Lockwood at centre half look a good pairing
-
I thought he was decent but his finishing let him down. Very quick and could beat a man, could do with working on his crossing.
He was the worst of all the players Aspin has tried in that role. He was dreadful
-
Marlon Jackson to Tranmere!
Bang goes the good signings !!!
Darren Kelly

Hope we bomb forward
