While goals from Troy Parrott and Scott Twine gave the scoreline a better look from a Dons perspective, Darling said each of Wednesday’s goals left a bitter taste in the mouth.
He said: “We shot ourselves in the foot early doors with goals that were sloppy and preventable. Two set-pieces, and we have to do better. We were too naive in the first 25 minutes, we didn't work hard enough or get control of the game.
“Forgetting the goals, we played really well but we cannot concede those goals.

“We showed heart and gave it a right go until the end, and tat sums us up. We're unlucky not to get anything from the game in the end.”
