Darlington's new management duo Steve Staunton and Kevin Richardson have been given a ringing endorsement by Quakers chairman Raj Singh.

Singh, who saw his side beat Burton 1-0 on Saturday in front of 2,403 spectators, the Darlington Arena's biggest crowd of the season, said: "It was our first clean sheet of the season and it was the first time we've taken the lead in the league, then I was delighted when we heard the attendance announced.

"I said when we took over that I understand why some fans will be sceptical and that we need to prove ourselves to get the fans behind us, and hopefully this is a sign that we're starting to turn the corner and that our supporters are starting to believe in what we're trying to achieve.

"I said in my programme notes that I'm delighted with the work Steve Staunton and Kevin Richardson are doing behind the scenes and I'm confident results will soon start to complement our performances.

"Most fans would agree that we're playing better football, so it was very satisfying to be rewarded with three points."
