DARWEN manager Steve Wilkes has urged his squad to play for their shirts.

Wilkes was angry after seeing his side throw away their game at Holker Old Boys unnecessarily after having two goals disallowed.

Darwen went on to lose 2-0, missing the chance to leapfrog Holker in the North West Counties Division Two table.

Wilkes says he won't be afraid to make changes to tomorrow's side when they travel to Daisy Hill and has warned that their opponents will feel the backlash of defeat.

"After the first 15 minutes on Saturday we were poor and it was very disappointing," he said.

"We thought we had scored a couple of good goals but both were ruled out.

"We were particularly annoyed at the second one because their centre half headed it back from the edge of his box, the goalkeeper slipped and the ball went in, but for some reason the linesman gave offside.

"After that, though, we deserved nothing because everyone started feeling sorry for themselves and we had three players booked for dissent because they just kept moaning at the referee.

"The lads knew I was annoyed with them and we trained hard on Tuesday night.

"It's all right for one or two of them who go home after the game, go out and forget about the result, but for the rest of us it sticks with us all weekend.

"One or two of them don't really feel it enough, so there will be changes tomorrow."

And the Darwen boss plans to be ruthless in his shake-up.

Lee Webb is expected to be back after missing Saturday's trip to Holker, striker Paul Baker, centre half Matt Anderton and versatile defender Scott Derbyshire could also be back, while Wilkes was hoping to offer a debut to Graham Lightbowne after his transfer from Great Harwood was completed earlier this week.

"I have a few options to think about, as well as the possibility of including myself in the side," he said.

"We dropped two places because of last week's performance, and Daisy Hill will feel the backlash."
