Yes, we were gutted he left, but, I think most accept we can't stand in his way in moving back into Professional Football, I think some were hoping we could get him back on loan after Gary Brown got injured lately, funnily enough at Gateshead in Pre-Season, I also think you lot recently added Tony Norman to the coaching staff, who of course was our goalkeeping coach
We have made some encouraging signings, Andrew Johnson and Paul Robinson have come in from Bishop Auckland and Whitley Bay respectively, ex-Boro academy product Paul Weldon has joined and we have a good mix of players who have played for league teams, Stephen Thompson played for Port Vale, David Dowson was at Sunderland Academy and played for us in the Football League, Kerry Hedley played came through the Chimp Chokers ranks, and the rest have all pretty much played at Evo Stik and Conference North Level at some point, while I don't want to be big cocky or arrogant, we will be there or there about again this season
I'm sure Tait would love to go back to Darlington on loan but as I said before, we need him at the minute. Hopefully, Curtis should be coming back though in the next couple of weeks, so maybe.
You're correct in saying that we have Tony Norman now in our Coaching Staff. I've noticed we do seem to be snooping around Darlo quite a lot lately. We've already stole Hatch and Chandler from you a couple of seasons ago and of course over the summer, we've got Tait and Norman on-board.
I'm in no doubt at all Darlington will rocket up the leagues. They're far too good a club to be way down in the Evo-Stik North!
