Quakers are looking for their seventh straight away league win at Boston on Saturday.
Since losing at Buxton in November, Quakers have won six away league games on the bounce, scoring 21 times and conceding 7. That goal tally has helped them become the league's top scorers with 56, four more than anybody else.
They're currently third in the table, just a point behind joint leaders King's Lynn and Fylde, while Boston are third from bottom.
Here's what Alun thinks of Saturday's game:
League position: 3rd (played 29, won 16, drawn 6, lost 7, goalsfor 56 against 38, points 54)
Away form played 13, won 8, drawn 2, lost 3, goals scored 28 conceded 16, points 26 2nd best in league, only Kidderminster better
Leading scorers (all matches) Mark Beck 18, Jacob Hazel 17 Jack Lambert 16
News:
- Darlington striker Jacob Hazel has scored ten goals in his last eight matches
- Quakers won the reverse game 3-2 earlier in the season
- Boston parted company with manager Paul Cox soon after our game in September, and replaced him with Ian Culverhouse
- Boston beat Quakers 2-0 last season with two early goals, Jake Cassidy was sent off for Darlington
- David Wheater is close to full fitness
