Poor display baffles Hodgson

Darlington manager David Hodgson was disappointed with his side's performance in the 1-1 draw against Bristol Rovers.
The result left the Quakers ninth in the League Two table but Hodgson was unimpressed with the display, particularly after his side's recent fine form.
"We had too many individuals who failed to perform and, after what we've achieved in our last couple of games, you'd expect us to play with a bit of confidence but we didn't until later on in the game," he said.
"Our fans get frustrated and they have every right to do so when we play like that. We've won our last two games and we should have been looking for a third.
"We could have lost this one but fortunately we stepped up a gear in the second half and played with a bit more purpose. But we had enough chances in the second half and on another day we'd have probably scored about three goals.
"We deserved our goal but we left it late and I couldn't even jump up and down when it finally went in."
