09 March 2010 19:16
Gary Smith has earned a recall to the Darlington side for this evening's game at Bury as one of two changes.[LNB] The midfielder is back in team as manager Steve Staunton reverts to 4-4-2 against fourth-placed Bury.[LNB] Smith has missed eight games having been dropped following the 3-0 defeat at Crewe in January while striker Mor Diop is also recalled.[LNB] The striker plays up front alongside Curtis Main with six-goal Tadhg Purcell dropping back into a wide position.[LNB] Making way are Ross Chisholm and Dan Burn. Both are on the bench but there is no place along the 18 for new defender Andrew Milne.[LNB] But youth team player John McReady is among the substitutes and should he feature this evening he would become the 51st different player used by Darlington.[LNB] Bury make one change and that sees star striker Andy Bishop making his first start since September following a lengthy injury lay-off.[LNB] Also in the Shakers side is full-back Tom Newey who had a loan spell with Quakers in 2003, playing in the final ever match at Feethams.[LNB] Bottom of the table Darlington go into the game on the back of five consecutive defeats while Bury have drawn three matches in a row 0-0 but have lost one of their most recent 13 games.[LNB] **For updates throughout the game on Twitter go to twitter.com/CStoddartEcho[LNB] Bury (4-4-2): Brown; Buchanan, Creswell, Futcher, Newey; Worall, Dawson, Barry-Murphy, Jones; Lowe, Bishop.
