O'Flynn scored a goal either side of Micah Hyde's first of the season to settle the tie with a late More Diop consolation goal Darlington's only high point.[LNB]After watching his League Two basement boys - the Quakers are rock bottom with five points - transfer their dismal form into the cup, Staunton was not a happy man.[LNB]"For the first goal the defending was just poor. I can't mark people for them. It came from a poor clearance and from then on it was just poor defending," said the Irishman. "We need to do something about it. We have been working on it all week but you can work on it all you want, if players can't track runs what can you do?[LNB]"We needed to keep the ball and we just didn't pass properly. We were getting into some decent areas but then simple balls were just passed out of play.[LNB]"I didn't think it was nerves, but the run of results we've been on when you go behind it starts to affect you."[LNB][LNB]
