Four changes for Quakers

20 April 2010 19:28
Simon Davey has swung the axe by making four changes to the Darlington line-up for this evening's game at Cheltenham Town.[LNB] The manager has called on Dan Groves, Chris Moore and Mor Diop while Mark Bower makes his first start since December.[LNB] He takes his place at the centre of the back-four in place of Ian Miller who misses out due to a hernia problem. In his absence Gary Smith takes the captain's armband.[LNB] As well as Miller, following Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Bournemouth, out of the side are Mark Convery, Josh Gray and Nathan Mulligan who scored the winner last week at Rochdale.[LNB] Gray sustained a knee injury on Saturday which is likely to keep him out of the team for the remainder of the season, but both Mulligan and Convery are on the bench[LNB] Among the substitutes for Davey's side are youth team players Dan Burn, John McReady and Michael Smith.[LNB] A win for Cheltenham this evening would secure their League Two status.[LNB] Tonight's game was originally scheduled to be played on January 30, when Steve Staunton was still Quakers boss, but was postponed less than two hours before kick-off due to a frozen pitch.[LNB] Referee: R East[LNB] Cheltenham Town (4-4-2): Brown; Lescott, Eastham, Duff, Ridley; Low, Thornhill, Pook, Elito; Alsop, Richards.
