To say Dartford manager Tony Burman was left with mixed feelings after his side's win over Havant & Waterlooville on Saturday would be an understatement.

Goals from Elliot Bradbrook and Danny Harris had the Darts 2-0 up at half-time and seemingly in control.

But they let that lead slip through their fingers by conceding on 49 and 53 minutes.

Fortunately, a second Bradbrook strike quickly put them back in front before substitute Ebou Adams scored his first senior goal to make it 4-2.

But even then some of Dartford's play left Burman apoplectic in the technical area.

He said: "I enjoyed the first 45 minutes because we came in in the lead.

"But for the first 10 minutes of the second half and probably the majority of the second half, our organisation and management of the game was non-existent.

"To speak to people for 15 minutes and they come out and do what they did, that's where it's frustrating. It puts a strain on you.

"A lot of the younger players, if something goes against them during the game, they lose concentration and I think they really did that today.

"It was disappointing, the first 10 minutes (of the second half), but then I've got to give them credit. We got a goal back from an experienced player and it gave us another lift.

"That's how they are - up and down all the time. When you're trying to play with younger players, they haven't got that experience to steady the ship.

"But having said that, I can't give them enough credit for coming back.

"Havant are not the worst side in the world and they had a decision where it looked like a penalty in the second half when it was 2-2. It probably could have been a penalty and it could have been over but we've had things go against us as well.

"I'm pleased that we've won the game because it was important to win the first game in December."

Bradbrook led by example, stepping up at big moments to swing the game in Dartford's favour.

Burman said: "The youngsters have got to learn from that. They will be characters like Elliot - but it just takes that little bit of time. They've got to do it by having games, I realise that, but they're the next generation of those sort of people and that sort of mindset.

"They've come through it and it was good again. They've done well to get three points out of the game."

There was a special roar when Adams' strike hit the back of the net on 66 minutes.

Burman said: "He's that enthusiastic, he wants to run all over the place and he's got to learn that sometimes that is causing us problems because he's come out of his zone.

"But I'm pleased for him. He wants to play and he's going to be a really good player.

"The youngsters just have to learn and get that experience. It's mind-blowing to see sometimes because it can be as frustrating as we've seen in the last 45 minutes."
