Loan pair set to start

14 August 2009 12:26
Sunderland loan pair Jamie Chandler and David Dowson are expected to make their first league starts for Darlington in their opening home game against Bury.[LNB]Midfielder Chandler and striker Dowson, who arrived at the Darlington Arena last week, were both second-half substitutes in the opening-day defeat at Aldershot, but started against Leeds in Monday night's Carling Cup clash and made telling contributions.[LNB]If manager Colin Todd opts for Dowson up front alongside Lee Thorpe, player/coach Dean Windass will start on the substitutes' bench again, while teenager Curtis Main, a second-half substitute against Leeds, provides the Quakers management duo with a further option up front.[LNB]Todd has no new injury or suspension worries as his side look to register their first points of the season following successive defeats.
