New striker Nathan Modest makes his Darlington debut as one of three changes in today's FA Trophy tie with Bath City.

The player, who arrived on loan from Sheffield Wednesday yesterday, comes into the side ahead of Tommy Wright who is not even on the bench at The Northern Echo Arena.

Also earning a return to the starting XI are teenager forward Curtis Main and defender Dan Burn.

Manager Mark Cooper is unable to field Adam Quinn or Greg Taylor as both of the recent signings are cup-tied.

The sides have already met once this season, a fixture that ended 2-2 but only after Quakers chucked away 2-0 lead in injury time.

Goals from Chris Senior and Liam Hatch had put Darlington on course for three points during September's away game, but Bath hit back in the dying seconds with goals from Hoogg and Mackie.
