Quakers take on Southport for the third time this season at Blackwell Meadows.

The two sides have met twice already this season at Haig Avenue, with Southport coming out on top by 3-0 in the league, and then in a penalty shootout in the FA Trophy after a 1-1 draw.

New signing Adriano Moke, who missed last Saturday's 1-1 draw at Hereford because of a bereavement, is likely to be included in the Darlington squad.

Here are the thoughts of assistant manager Darren Holloway
