Hart pleased with win over Darlington

He said: "We got a clean sheet which was what we needed, and I was delighted with the players attitude and the amount of work that they put in in what was a difficult tie.

"There was a strange atmosphere in this vast stadium, but we were on a mission and came prepared to do a job. I have instilled a work ethic at the back and the team have battling qualities which we will need in the months ahead."
