Wright targets top three

DARLINGTON aim to get back to winning ways when they host Morecambe today and striker Tommy Wright is keen to point out that automatic promotion remains a realistic ambition.

He saw strike-partner Pawel Abbott limp from the field at Chester City on Saturday when Darlington slumped to a shock defeat that means Quakers have won only one of their previous four games.

But a win today could take them above Hereford United, who are at Lincoln City, who are only two points adrift having being held at home by Bury on Saturday.

Wright, Darlington's top scorer on 12 league goals for the season, said: "We're still confident we can get automatic promotion but we've got to turn things around quickly.

"It's a good thing that we've got a game on Monday because that give us an opportunity to show our fans what we're capable of because recently we haven't really done that.

"Saturday was a lost opportunity for us don't forget it was also a lost opportunity for Hereford so they won't be too happy either.

"They'll see our defeat and feel as though have slipped up against Bury. Both teams were expected to win but didn't."
