Sean O'Driscoll went out of his way to commend the tactics adopted by Darlington manager Tommy Taylor following the 2-2 draw at Feethams. He wasn't the only one to tinker with the system though as O'Driscoll moved to a 4-4-3 at 1-1 in the second half and after the game insisted that settling for a point just wasn't an issue, hence the attacking manoeuvre.
