VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM
Darlington manager Craig Liddle told BBC Tees:
"It outlined everything I said about the players, the desire, the aggression and the commitment was there in abundance.
"They're disappointed in there, but I'm thrilled and delighted with the performance, because, playing against a side as good as York, we gave as good as we got.
"I'm so proud of the players.
York City manager Gary Mills told BBC Radio York:
"We were poor. They were better than us until we went 2-0 down, then we played how we can play and had more urgency about us.
"It was a funny game but we got a point. We got a big big point when you're 2-0 down and we've shown a lot of character to come back.
"We could have won it in the end, so the pleasing thing is we got a point back. We've showed a lot of character to get back into the game."
