Darlington's manager has had to set the record straight about comments he made about his players missing training. Furious after Saturday's 3-1 defeat at Chester, Tommy Wright hinted that a number of his players had not attended regular training sessions, but has since backtracked telling the club's official site it's not a regular occurrence for players to miss training.
He said: "My comment wasn’t suggesting the lads simply do not turn up – no matter where they’re travelling from — it was meant to explain how frustrating it is when the group do not all train together."

Zak Lilly has admitted he must trust AFC Telford United boss Gavin Cowan's decision to convert him from a striker to a centre-half.
