Tony Burman does not want any slip-ups from Dartford against Cray Wanderers in the FA Cup

Dartford boss Tony Burman wants his team to make sure of their place in Monday’s FA Cup fourth qualifying round draw at the first time of asking when they visit Ryman League, Premier Division Cray Wanderers on Saturday.

Having beaten Harrow from the same league in the previous round, Darts, who suffered a shock league defeat against Boreham Wood at the weekend, look set to face a tougher task against Ian Jenkins’ fifth-placed side.

Three of Dartford’s ties in their run to the first round last season went to replays, so Burman’s biggest wish is that the game, at Bromley’s Hayes Lane ground, is decided on the day.

Burman (pictured) said: "We know a lot about Cray and they are a decent side but it’s all about what happens on the day.

"I will be looking for a reaction from the boys (after Saturday).

"It’s a short trip for our supporters to make, so I’m sure there will be a big crowd which will help both sides.

"We want to progress and winning means there is the chance of being paired with one of the big Conference Premier sides in the next round."

Burman was boosted by the return of defender Paul Goodacre at Boreham Wood after recovering from knee ligament damage but has to check on right-back Matt Jones, who missed the game with a knee injury.
