IT'S decision time for Stephen Mullen.

The Darwen manager has been trying to keep his band of enthusiastic players happy by rotating his squad.

But Mullen has admitted he must decide on his best starting 11 and stick to it.

"For every training session, we've always had a minimum of 16 players turning up, which is positive," said Mullen.

"But it's time for me to decide who should be playing where and get a settled side.

"I've been trying to keep everyone happy, which has worked in some respects but not in others.

"You can only pick 11 players to start, and with no injuries and suspensions, I've got a nice headache."

Darwen travel to New Mills in the FA Cup tomorrow and Mullen added: "Whoever gets picked tomorrow is the team that I want to play for Darwen for the rest of the season."
