Dartford boss Tony Burman has a selection headache ahead of the Blue Square Bet South cross-river derby clash with Thurrock on Saturday.

Burman’s side beat Weston-super-Mare 4-1 at Princes Park on Saturday to record their seventh point in three games at home.

The Darts boss has an almost fully-fit squad for the game against the winless Fleet as his side look to continue to climb the table having collected seven points from a possible nine in their last three home games.

Burman praised the impact of Tom Bonner at left-back and Adam Gross, who came in for the suspended Paul Goodacre, with Elliot Bradbrook and James White also playing despite not being 100 per cent fit after injury.

Burman said: "It is a squad game and even though we changed things around it worked out well.

"The players all know they have a part to play this season. It gives me a headache for the next game but it’s a good headache to have."

He added: "We took a chance with Bradbrook and White and it worked out well for us.

"Hopefully they won’t have any reactions and they will both be available for Saturday."

Goodacre returns from his one-match ban ahead of the trip to Essex.
