Tony Burman looks to build on Dartford's good away form at Hendon

Dartford look to get back into
action after a fortnight of inactivity with a Ryman League Premier
Division trip to Hendon on Saturday.
Tony Burman’s side had won back-to-back away games at Canvey and
Cray before seeing games against Boreham Wood at Princes Park on
Tuesday and at Margate on Saturday postponed due the weather.
Darts’ impressive away form now
shows nine wins from as many games and they are in a commanding
position in the Premier Division, lying 11 points clear of
second-placed Hastings with four games in hand.
However, Burman admitted: "The fact
that we have such a good away record was not planned – it has just
happened. We perhaps try to do what other teams do to us, try and
catch them on the break when they have to come at us."
Burman said he did not expect to
know whether Saturday’s game at Hendon’s temporary Wembley home
will go ahead until the 11th hour.
He said: "We’ll wait and see. We’ll
prepare as if the game was on but normally after the thaw pitches
get waterlogged."
"It is another away game against a
team who we have beaten at home but they are a good footballing
side. They also have all kinds of problems off the field so they do
well under the circumstances.
Lee Burns will start a three-match
ban on Saturday while Lee Noble sits out one match, meaning Adam
Burchell and Joao Carlos could feature. Billy Burgess is back in
training after an ankle knock but Elliot Bradbrook (ankle), Allan
Tait (calf) and Jay May (knee) remain out.
