Dartford face test of Ryman League Premier Division title credentials with two tough away games
Dartford face a big test of their
credentials on Saturday when they travel to Ryman League Premier
Division pre-season title favourites Carshalton.
The Darts then follow this up with
a visit to Sutton, another fancied side, on Tuesday.
Carshalton have appointed former
Crawley boss Francis Vines as managerial successor to Hayden Bird
who quit two weeks ago.
And Darts manager Tony Burman
believes the two games will tell them a lot about
themselves.
He said: "I’m aware that
Carshalton have a new manager and there is always a reaction among
players when a new man takes charge.
"After Carshalton we go to Sutton,
but I believe we have the strength in depth to cope with two big
games coming in quick succession."
Burman is hoping that Danny Dafter
will be fit – the midfielder sustained a calf injury in training
last Thursday.
"Danny’s injury forced me into
making one of three changes on Saturday," Burman added. "The thing
is that we coped. Maybe last season we would not have.
"James White returned to the side
and he was excellent. Any successful side possesses strength and
depth and we’ve got that."
