Darlington Can't Afford Defeats - Hodgson

These remaining fixtures have been labelled as "cup finals" as the struggling club attempt to stay in Division Three.
Hodgson said: "I thought we had enough of the play in the first half. But our second-half display was a shambles. It was playground stuff at times.
"We've now got six cup finals left and people have to be aware that at the moment the Conference is closer for us than staying in the Football League."
