Banbury v Darlington preview
By Ray Simpson
Looking for second away win of the season
Darlington head to Banbury today looking for their second away win of the season, and hopefully lift themselves off the bottom of the table.
Quakers have won just once in the league, but confidence is growing that they can put their recent defeats behind them and come out on top. They're also looking for their first win in three attempts against the Oxfordshire side.
Team news:
-- Defender Jack Hannah has returned to Middlesbrough at the end of his loan
-- Striker Mitch Curry is missing because of injury
-- Midfielder Adriano Moke is missing because of injury
