Tony Burman wants Dartford to show more belief

A lack of self-belief is threatening to derail Dartford’s
hopes of winning automatic promotion from Blue Square Bet South
this season.
The Darts were just one point behind leaders Woking in
mid-October but a run of disappointing results in recent weeks has
seen the gap widen to nine points after Woking’s midweek draw with
Chelmsford.
Manager Tony Burman watched his side throw away a 2-0 lead at
Eastleigh on Saturday, returning with just a point despite playing
for an hour with a man extra.
Having dropped eight points in games against Boreham Wood, Truro
and Weston-super-Mare, the Darts were unable to maximise their
powerful position at Eastleigh and Burman could not hide his dismay
at the capitulation.
He said: "The way we performed in the second half wasn’t good
enough.
"There seemed to be a lack of belief that we could win and
that’s disappointing.
"The players have to sort that out because if they can’t play
with confidence and belief when we’re fourth in the table, we’re
going to be in trouble.
"We played with a lack of intelligence and belief. That’s
strange, with the way the game went."
