Dartford will be looking to rekindle their home form on Saturday after getting their title bid back on track last weekend.
A 4-1 win at Tonbridge Angels followed two successive defeats that had seen their lead at the top of the Ryman League Premier Division cut to single figures.
Boss Tony Burman now wants to address his side’s stuttering form at Princes Park which has left home fans looking back to early December for their last win on their own turf.
Ashford (Middlesex) are Saturday’s guests in the Ryman League Premier Division and they’ll be looking to become the fifth successive team to deny Burman’s men maximum points at home.
Burman said: “We need to make sure we get our home form right.
“We know how teams play against us at our place and we have to match it. The teams are packing out the midfield against us and Sutton (the last visitors to Princes Park) came and had a real good go and got the opening goal.
“That’s another thing we have to stop. We have to stop teams scoring the first goal in matches as it’s giving them the heart and desire they need. If we can get that first goal then we know we can beat teams three or four-nil.”
Striker Carl Rook returns on Saturday while fellow front man Allan Tait hit four goals for the reserves at the weekend in an 8-1 win over Margate.
Jay May this week had a cartilage operation and will be out until April while back-up keeper Tony Kessell has joined Cray Wanderers.
