Darlington manager Steve Staunton is hoping to bring at least one new player to the club, but he needs to create the room in his squad first.

Staunton has been in charge of the team for five games now - four of them away from home - and it's clear that he has made up his mind about certain players in his squad.

However, before he brings new players in, he needs to let others go.

"I'm very interested in the loan market," he said. "But I need to create some room in the squad first. I know who we want to get in, and I've got plenty of targets."

Staunton was obviously unhappy with the performance. "It wasn't good enough. Again, we started the game ok, but we gave away some bad goals and didn't start threatening until the game was lost.

"We worked some good positions in the first half, and there was nothing in it until we conceded. We're making the same mistakes week after week."

At least there was one plus in the game, the performance of sub Mor Diop who pulled a goal back after 72 minutes.

"He's not match fit and we have to be careful with him because he hasn't started a game since the summer," said Staunton.
