The Darlington squad has been pushed .......
.... to it's limits by injuries recently, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Despite losing star player Julian Joachim, for up to a month, their overall problems have eased and as many as four senior/ important players, could return to action tonight.
After a gruelling run of 7 games in 20 days, they do not play for another 7 days. Three points will take them into the playoff places and with this, the first in a run of 3 home games, in the next 4 starts, all against sides in the bottom third of the table, it is a golden opportunity to make real progress.
Tonight Grimsby Town are the visitors to the 96.6 TFM Arena (!) and they have also been troubled by injuries, having come so close to promotion last season, they could not have expected to struggle so badly, this time round.
Their last two results have been dire, they lost 4-1 at home to Hartlepool and 1-0 at home to Stockport, in a match where they enjoyed just 39% of possession. Grimsby mustered just 5 shots at goal in those two fixtures, in all games this season they have totalled 97 attempts, 45 less than the home side, an average of over 4 per game.
These stats are poor, too poor.
Darlo have collected just one point from their last 2 matches, but enjoyed 56 and 59% possession in those games , VERY high totals "on the road". Time to get back on track, home win.
4 points Darlington -1/2 1.83 general/ asian line.
Back later.
Good Luck.
