Darlington boss Mick Tait is backing his players to overcome their recent away-day jitters with victory at Bristol Rovers this weekend.

Quakers have claimed just one win in their last 11 League trips and have recorded just one goal in their last six outings away from Feethams.

And Tait, whose side bounced back from Saturday's lacklustre defeat at Macclesfield with an impressive 2-0 win over Hull on Bank Holiday Monday, has challenged his players to continue where they left off in their penultimate away game of the season.

"We've had some very good results away from home and we'll be hoping to get it right on Saturday," said Tait.

"We were very disappointing at Macclesfield and the lads responded really well against Hull.

"What we must do now is make sure we carry this into the game at Bristol on Saturday.

"We've done very well away from home but all of a sudden we've gone flat in the last two or three games."

And while their recent slump on their travels has raised some concerns, Tait knows exactly where their long-term problems lie. "What has let us down more than anything this season is consistency," said Tait.

"We have drawn too many times in games when we've been the better team.

"We have two games left and we'll be looking to take maximum points from them."

Tait may choose to keep faith with second-choice goalkeeper Chris Porter for Saturday's clash at the Memorial Stadium.

The Middlesbrough-born shot-stopper impressed in the win over Hull after he was drafted in for the rested Andy Collett.

Bristol Rovers are not yet safe from relegation although victory this weekend will ensure League safety.
