Johnson is Darlington's only change

7:19pm Tuesday 17th April 2012 in Darlington FC By Craig Stoddart, Deputy Sports Editor

Darlington make one change for this evening’s game at Newport County, Quakers’ first match since their relegation was confirmed.

Centre-back Paul Johnson returns after serving a one-match suspension and he takes place of David Ferguson who drops to the bench.

Johnson’s return means a reshuffle at the back with Paul Arnison reverting to right-back and Aaron Brown playing in his usual left-back position having played on the opposite flank against Bath City on Saturday.

A position in the bottom four of the Conference was sealed on Saturday thanks to a 2-2 draw with Bath City, thus rendering Darlington’s three remaining almost meaningless.

But Newport, who are looking forward to playing in the FA Trophy final next month, need one more point to avoid relegation.
