Dartford boss Tony Burman hoping his side rediscover their best form away to Truro City in National League South

00:00, 11 February 2016

Dartford make their longest journey of the season this weekend looking for a win which would keep them in the National League South top-five.

Tony Burman’s men embark on a 600-mile round-trip to face a Truro side one place and two points below them in the race for the play-offs.

Truro, whose midweek clash with Bath was postponed, are unbeaten in their last six matches – a run which includes two 4-4 draws.

Burman said: "I watched Truro last week. They’re an well-organised side and, at home, they’ll be difficult.

"But we’ll have a go at it and get back to, hopefully, the way we can play.

"When we played them earlier in the season they came and parked the bus, so to speak but that’s no disgrace.

"They got us on the break near the end of the game but that’s when we weren’t scoring. Now we are scoring.

"We’ll wrap Andy Pugh up in cotton wool and hopefully he’ll be all right."

Pugh has seven goals in his last six starts and Dartford’s attacking options have also been boosted by the return of Tom Bradbrook, who missed Saturday’s 2-0 win over St Albans with a neck injury.

Barry Cogan (hamstring) is a doubt, though, meaning Lee Noble could start his first league game since December.
