DARLINGTON striker Barry Conlon believes the reaction of his teammates after Saturday's draw at Third Division leaders Doncaster Rovers epitomises the standards which have been set under David Hodgson.

Only Yeovil and Lincoln have left Belle Vue with maximum points this season and Quakers were just four minutes from adding their name to the list.

And while Conlon and co rued two points lost, rather than one gained, the Irishman could afford to take some positives as Quakers extended their unbeaten run away from home to six games.

"I think most teams in the division would be happy to come away from Doncaster with a point," said Conlon.

"The fact that we've came off the pitch disappointed not to have won says a lot.

"There's a good feeling among the lads and there is plenty of belief that we can beat anybody in the division."

And up until Akinfenwa's late leveller, Quakers appeared on course for an upset.

After defending against heavy winds in the first half, David Hodgson's men used the conditions to their advantage after the interval through Convery's second goal in as many games.

"We did so well to keep them out in the first half with the wind against us," said Conlon.

"We managed to get a goal with the wind behind us and we looked like going on to win the game.

"But fair play to them because they've stuck in there and got a draw."

Despite moving up two places to 17th in the table, Quakers are now just four points clear of the relegation zone following Macclesfield's 4-1 win at Kidderminster.

Quakers host promotion-chasing Torquay on Saturday and Conlon warned: "We're still miles away from safety, so we still have plenty to do.

"It's all well and good saying we're playing well but we still need to make sure with a couple more wins.

"It was a big point for us and we just have to keep it going.

"We have another difficult game against Torquay coming up and as long as we play as well as we know we can there is a good chance we will take something from it."
