Darlington

So, the new lad comes straight into the starting XI with Walker on the bench, also no sign of Ponticelli, is he injured?  Not convinced at sticking with what looks like the same formation and a front three, lets hope Darlington don't have a midfield.

Whilst it is difficult to talk about six pointers before Christmas you do feel that this game has quite a lot riding on it for both teams, both of whom have changed managers recently and will be looking to restart their seasons today.

Good win though in that 6 pointer Tony
Not sure about Ponti but he is better in support, as his career goal scoring record is one every 5 and half games
so we need to give him someone to play off to get the best out of him

Certainly a welcome 3 points and gets the AL tenure up and running, listened to the Darlington commentary and sounded a really open game perhaps reflecting two teams who have conceded for fun this season.  Hopefully this will help with confidence and give AL something to build on in training this week for tougher tests to come.
