Knight debut on hold
Leon Knight's Darlington debut will have to wait as he is still awaiting the paperwork to be completed on his signing.[LNB] He agreed to join this week and travelled with the squad to Bath City with manager Mark Cooper planning on naming him on the bench today.[LNB] But Quakers discovered late on Friday that Knight is unavailable for the game at Twerton Park because Rushden and Diamonds, who sacked the 28-year-old for disciplinary issues in 2008, are holding him to a clause in the contract he signed at Nene Park.[LNB] Despite being unavailable, Knight has taken part in the pre-match warm-up.[LNB] Cooper makes one change today from the side which beat Forest Green Rovers last weekend.[LNB] Midfielder Jamie Chandler returns to the side at the expense of Joe Clarke who drops to the bench while also among the substitutes is youth team keeper Nick Thompson.[LNB] Quakers are bidding to record back-to-back wins for the first time this season while Cooper's seventh-placed side could only draw in their previous away game, 1-1 at Eastbourne Borough.[LNB] Second-bottom Bath who have struggled since their promotion from the Blue Square South as play-off winners.
