Darlington are looking for three points to kick start their season at home to Hereford on Saturday.

Quakers haven't won in six matches, which has seen them drop to sixth in the table, but manager Alun Armstrong is hoping that some midweek defensive work will pay dividends.

Here's what Alun has to say:

Please note that there will be a minute’s applause on 16 minutes in memory of Darlington fan Kacey Seddon, who sadly passed away recently. Our condolences to her family and friends
