Darlington goalkeeper Sam Russell has backed the resurgent Quakers to earn a play-off place.

Russell played a key role in Darlo's goalless draw with Rochdale last weekend which moved Dave Penney's side up to eighth place in the League Two table.

The Quakers are now unbeaten in 12 games and Russell believes their form is good enough to seal a play-off berth.

"We definitely believe we can make it," he told the club's official website.

"The team spirit in the camp is high, it has to be on the back of the run we have had.

"We would like to turn some of those draws into wins, but if we win the next game then we are right in it.

"We can't fall away at this stage and start putting in poor performances, we all know that there is a play-off spot up for grabs."
