Tony Burman has rejected claims that his Dartford squad is not good enough to cope with life in The Skrill Premier.

Saturday’s 2-0 defeat at home to Braintree was the Darts’ third in a row and it was greeted by a wave of criticism.

The mood brightened on Bank Holiday Monday with a 2-0 win at Tamworth and Burman praised that display.

However, he also wanted to set the record straight when it came to the suggestion his summer transfer business had left the club weaker than it finished last season.

He said: "In this league, you can lose three or four games and then win the next three or four. It happens but you have to move on.

"I felt the players had done well enough to get something out of the other games (before Monday) but it didn’t work for us.

"That is nothing to do with the players not being good enough.

"There is nothing wrong with the players, nothing wrong with the team. The guys in the changing room, the guys we’ve brought in, are good players."
