Darlington manager Martin Gray warns about complacency ahead of Saturday's away game at Telford.
Listen to his interview with the website here.
We travel to Telford United this Saturday looking to win our first game in three. Last Saturday, we were fantastic against league leaders AFC Fylde, but were unable to come away with the win, as we drew 1-1.
That result left us four points behind Fylde having played the same number of matches. However, Chorley are now level on points with us, as they sit in third place.
Here are details of our form and stats as per the Stalybridge website
Watch out on this website later on Friday for an interview with keeper Pete Jameson.
AFC Telford United sit in 16th place in the league table, five points ahead of the bottom three. They have won three of their nine home games so far, but have lost all their last three games. On Saturday they lost 2-1 at Worcester City.

The two teams last met in the 2011/12 season when both sides were struggling in the Conference Premier. Goals from Drew Broughton, Ryan Bowman and Danny Lambert earned the Quakers a 3-3 draw. The result helped Telford to a crucial point as they finished in 20th place one spot above the drop zone.
The sides also met on the way to two famous triumphs for the Quakers. In 2011 Darlington won 3-0 at Telford on the way to winning the FA Trophy and in April 1990 we won 1-0 in the Conference, and go on to seal the league title.
Kick off on Saturday night is 3:00pm, updates on the game will be made from the club's Facebook, Twitter, Mobile App and Website. Live commentary will be broadcast from Darlo Fans Radio at 2:50pm. The mobile app and Darlo Fans' Radio are both generously sponsored by Tempest Jones.
