Dartford manager Tony Burman defends players
Comments |
By Alex Hoad
Tony Burman has leapt to the
defence of his Dartford players after the club’s lead in Ryman
League Premier Division was cut to seven points.
The Darts have cruised through the
past few months after building a lead which reached 14 points at
one stage while also boasting games in hand over their rivals.
However, after Saturday’s 2-0 home
defeat to Sutton, the murmurs of discontent at Princes Park grew
louder as the Darts’ recent dip in form extended to just two wins
in seven home games and no wins at all in their last three
games.
There is little need to panic,
though, as Dartford’s cushion remains seven points and they do have
three games in hand and a vastly superior goal difference.
Burman (pictured) recognises the
need for improvement when the Darts travel to struggling Tonbridge
on Saturday and Wealdstone on Tuesday night.
After the defeat to Sutton, he
said: "We have got to move on and get things right. We need to
improve and the players know that. It is not that they are not
motivated - they are upset that things did not go right. In a
season you will have a poor spell, it happens to every team whether
you like it or not."
Striker Carl Rook is ineligible to
face former club Tonbridge under the terms of his transfer but is
set to return on Tuesday. Allan Tait and Jay May remain
sidelined.
