It Will Be Difficult For Us At Hereford Said Armstrong

Darlington manager Alun Armstrong has said that he feels it will be difficult for his side at Edgar Street despite travelling down to Herefordshire yesterday.

“It’ll be five hours on the bus, the driver needs to stop for 45 minutes, plus some of the lads are coming from Newcastle to our pick-up point, so some of them will do seven hours on the bus before playing a game of football," said Armstrong as reported by the Northern Echo.

“Travelling that far would’ve killed the lads mentally. It makes it a tough gig for anyone, and it was the same for Hereford when they came up here.

“They set up in a 4-5-1 and left Stychey up front on his own and the rest of the team sat behind the ball.

“It’ll be difficult for us down there but we’ve got to try and get a result.”
