Madden recalled for threadbare Quakers

17 April 2010 14:39
Injury-hit Darlington make just one change for today's game at Bournemouth but they are able to name only five substitutes.[LNB] Quakers are suffering with a series of injuries with some sustained in Tuesday's shock win at Rochdale which is when Paul Arnison picked up a hamstring strain.[LNB] The right-back was replaced at Spotland by Andrew Milne but he too is injured (back) so the right-back slot today goes to Simon Madden.[LNB] The game represents the Irishman's first under Simon Davey who overseas his fifth at the helm as Darlington aim for a third consecutive clean sheet for the first time this season.[LNB] But they are facing tough opponents in Bournemouth who have won five consecutive games at Dean Court and a sixth today would push the third-placed side closer to promotion.[LNB] If results elsewhere go in their favour, the Cherries could go nine points clear of fourth with nine to play for which is some achievement for a club that has been under a transfer embargo all season.[LNB] Manager Eddie Howe has used 24 players all season, in sharp contrast to Quakers who have used 52.[LNB] However, injuries mean that Richie Byrne (back) and Mor Diop (ankle) are unable to take their place on the bench today.[LNB] *Updates throughout the game will appear at twitter.com/CStoddartEcho[LNB] Referee: Paul Taylor (Enfield)[LNB] Bournemouth (4-4-2): Jalal; Bradbury, Cooper, Pearce, Wiggins; Feeney, Robinson, Bartley, Hollands; Pitman, Fletcher.
