Staunton searching for settled side

Darlington manager Steve Staunton admits it could be "another few weeks" before he can start to field a settled Quakers line-up.

Staunton: Drafted in seven new players

Previous manager Colin Todd built a new-look squad virtually from scratch in the summer and Staunton has drafted in seven new players of his own on loan since being installed as new boss in October, resulting in them using 34 players this season.

Staunton told the Northern Echo: "I'm trying to get a settled side as quickly as possible.

"It's hard when you're chopping and changing and bringing in different players, but that's the way it's going to be for another few weeks until we get a settled group of lads in. The sooner the better.

"What I want to do is get a few players who belong to us and aren't loan players so we can have a settled team and then add to it with loan players who can have an impact."
