In-form Quakers please Penney

Darlington manager Dave Penney thought his side should have beaten Lincoln City at the weekend even more convincingly.
The Quakers moved up to eighth in the League Two table following the impressive 3-1 win at Sincil Bank as they extended their unbeaten run since the 5-0 home defeat against Rochdale to five matches.
But the former Doncaster Rovers manager said: "To be honest if I'm going to be a little bit greedy we could have had a couple of more goals in the first half, but the performance was the best since I've been in charge here.
"We chased everything from the front and put them on the back foot. We had four or five decent efforts to score in the first half.
"They've changed the way they play since Keith Alexander left and John Schofield came in, but we put a lot of the principles I want to see into the game. The work ethic from the players was there.
"I'm disappointed we conceded a goal, but Simon Johnson deserved a goal and probably could have had a couple more. Lincoln is tough place to come, they scored seven against Rochdale in their last home game."
