Dartford manager Tony Burman wants his players to respond to first Ryman League defeat of the season
Comments |
Dartford boss Tony Burman expects a
response from his players after seeing their superb unbeaten run in
Ryman League Premier Division come to an end.
Burman said he thought last Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to AFC
Hornchurch at Princes Park was undeserved but backed his
table-topping players to produce the right response when they visit
promotion-hunting Wealdstone this Saturday.
The Stones lie 10th but have up to
five games in hand over their rivals in the play-off pack and
Burman said he expects them to challenge for promotion to Blue
Square South.
He said: "They are a good side and
have already taken a point off us. They have had a good cup run but
that can affect you in the league.
"The suspensions and injuries will
kick in for them as it has for us this month but I expect them to
be up there at the end of the season.
"I don’t think we deserved to lose
on Saturday –we did enough to have got something from the
game."
Burman hopes to have a fully-fit
squad with the exception of Elliot Bradbrook, who has started
jogging following his ankle injury.
Adam Burchell missed Saturday’s
game as he is short of match-fitness after his 90-day suspension
but Burman said: "He was out for so long, he needs games. He will
play for the under-21s and academy and he will not always be
involved for us while he is short of match fitness."
