DARLINGTON manager David Hodgson believes basic errors cost his side a guaranteed place in the second round of the FA Cup.

Quakers will replay Yeovil Town on November 23 after Saturday's entertaining 3-3 draw at the Williamson Motors Stadium.

After leading at half-time through Alun Armstrong's 19th minute opener, Hodgson was disappointed that his players offered Yeovil a route back into the game with several mistakes.

He said: "We made a massive point at half-time about why we were being so sloppy.

"Even though we got that early goal the rot started to set in when we started making silly mistakes.

"We had a perfect opportunity to put a good ball into the box, but Ryan Valentine and Ian Clark got caught out because they were sloppy.

"They almost won a penalty when Sam Russell got caught short with a pass back from Matt Clarke.

"When things like that happen it has a massive effect on the overall game.

"I told the lads to go out in the second half and stamp their authority on the game. I wanted them to make a real conscious effort to get on the front-foot in the first 20 minutes."

Within ten minutes of the second half Quakers were 2-1 down and Hodgson said: "I hadn't even put my backside on the seat when Yeovil went and scored. Within minutes it was 2-1 and I honestly thought we were going out."

But after introducing Clark Keltie and Neil Wainwright to the game, Hodgson said: "We didn't look as if we were going to raise our game until we made the substitutions.

"We put people in different areas and that seemed to work."

Before Saturday's six-goal battle, Quakers had not conceded three or more goals since a 4-3 defeat at home to Cambridge in March.

Quakers hold the second best defensive record in League Two - behind second-placed Swansea, who they visit on Wednesday night - and Hodgson said: "We've had a fantastic defensive record, but to find ourselves conceding three goals at home is hugely disappointing.

"Craig Liddle came back in and he was good as gold, but it is a concern to concede the goals in the way that we did.

"But unless every player on that field is performing we are going to get nothing.

"I pointed at five players at half-time and told them they hadn't done enough.

"If we are going to do anything this season we need everybody performing."
