Darlington

Darlington along with ourselves, Luton and Crawley are fancied by the bookies. Darlington went down on April 13th despite a win at league leaders Rochdale as  results elsewhere confirmed relegation to the Conference. Simon Davey (second choice for the job to Mark Cooper) then resigned in June leaving Ryan Kidd in the job for just 11 days. He too resigned as top choice for the job Mark Cooper left Posh to finally take up the job a few five months and one relegation later.

He has been a busy bee bring in experienced  Kevin Austin, Tommy Wright ( Grimsby),  Kelvin Jack (Southend) and non leaguers Chris Senior (Altrincham) and Michael Brough  (Mansfield) plus Paul Terry ( brother of John) who has some stories to lighten the mood. 

Two 6 month loans at either end will also make a big difference.  Liam Hatch from Peterborough United knows the place and gets goals whilst Danny Hone from Lincoln is a quality player who just needs the chance to prove himself
