Darlington are looking for back-to-back wins when they go to Banbury on Tuesday night.

Last Saturday's impressive 2-0 home win over Hereford with goals by debutant Matty Cornish and midfielder Ben Liddle has given them fresh optimism of avoiding relegation with 18 games remaining.

Quakers have yet to record back-to-back wins this season. This game has been postponed twice already because of waterlogged pitches this season, but indications are good for Tuesday evening.

Here's what assistant manager Terry Mitchell thinks about the game:
