New striker Nialle Rodney makes his full Darlington debut at Braintree Town a day after joining on loan from Braintree Town.

Rodney lines up in attack, alongside the recalled Ryan Bowman, after joining on a month's loan while fellow forward James Gray, a former Middlesbrough trainee, is on the bench.

Graeme Lee makes his return after recovering from a groin problem and he takes the place of Jonatan Sanchez-Munoz who does not make the bench.

Marc Bridge-Wilkinson, an unused substitute recently, travelled to Braintree, but is not in the squad and neither is James Walshaw or Paul Arnison.

Darlington are bidding for a swift return to winning ways following the midweek defeat to Barrow.

The Cumbrian side won 1-0 at The Northern Echo Arena, their fourth successive win on a night in which Quakers were hoping to make it three league victories for the first time since November 2008. The sides met on the first day of the season with Quakers winning thanks to a Hatch goal.

Darlington (4-4-2): Soderberg; G Taylor, Lee, Geohagon, Brown; Rundle, Atkinson, Chandler, K Taylor; Rodney, Bowman. Subs: Russell (gk), Brough, McReady, Hatch, J Gray
