Staunton hails gritty Darlington

Teenage striker Curtis Main put the hosts in front after only 6 minutes following a foul on fellow frontman Mor Diop. The Burton defence was caught out by Darlington's quick set-piece and Main despatched a low drive beyond goalkeeper Artur Krysiak from 12 yards out.Staunton said: "The lads are working hard and I have told them that if they continue working hard then they will be rewarded and that was proved today."We are still looking for players with experience who can come here and do a job for the football club."The back four and goalkeeper were outstanding today. We have missed Ian Miller and Steve Foster looked to be back to his best. He showed outstanding leadership quality."We are still in the mire and have around 30 cup finals still to play. Our performances haven't been too bad and we were up against a good side and stood the test."
