Dartford’s three-season stay in the Conference will come to an end when Barnet visit on Bank Holiday Monday if they are stung by the Bees.

Tony Burman’s side are currently second-bottom of the Conference and ten points from safety with four games remaining.

Even a win might not be enough to spar the Kent side dependent on how Alfreton Town get on against high-flying Grimsby Town.

Recent improvement has not made up a wretched middle third of the season in which the Darts lost nine from ten and slumped from the safety of 19th into the relegation zone.

There has been improvement recently with only four defeats suffered in their last 12 but with just seven wins all season – the joint-lowest tally in the Conference – it is not hard to see where Dartford have gone wrong.

Only already relegated AFC Telford United have picked up as few victories this season and Burman’s side also have the second-worst attack (41 scored) and the third leakiest defence (70 conceded). They have kept just three clean sheets this season.

Despite those damning statistics there are some players of good pedigree at Princes Park, none more so than seven cap Welsh international and former Premier League goalkeeper Jason Brown.

The ex-Gillingham, Leeds United and Blackburn Rovers keeper has tumbled down the leagues somewhat since electing to swap Priestfield for Ewood Park in 2006. He made just 16 appearances for Rovers during a five-year stay in Lancashire.

Loan moves to Leeds, Leyton Orient and Cardiff City brought mixed success for the Southwark-born gloveman, 32, before a move to SPL side Aberdeen in 2011.

After two seasons north of the border Brown fell out of favour and was on the move again, first joining Championship Ipswich Town as cover without making a first-team appearance.

Conference side Cambridge United were his next port of call before dropping into the Conference South to link-up with Sutton United.

Brown joined Dartford in July following Sutton's failed play-off campaign and with 30 league appearances to his name, this season has been his most fruitful spell at a club since his five-year stay at Gillingham at the turn of the century.

Another man who boasts a wealth of Football League experience is Scottish midfielder Peter Sweeney.

The 30-year-old spent 13 years in the 72 with a range of clubs before dropping into non-league in the summer to join Burman’s side.

Sweeney began his professional career at Millwall and made 67 appearances in all competitions, finishing as an FA Cup runner up and making a UEFA Cup outing before moving to Stoke City.

He would struggle for games at the Potteries and made just 18 league starts in two-and-a-half years at the Britannia Stadium, five of which came as Tony Pulis’ side won promotion to the Premier League in 2008.

Loan spells at Yeovil Town and Walsall preceded a permanent move to League One giants Leeds United but it was another brief stay for the Glaswegian, who soon signed for Grimsby Town following an eight-game loan stint.

Sweeney finally settled at Blundell Park, enjoying 43 appearances before joining Bury. Ninety-five outings at Gigg Lane saw the Scot help the Shakers win promotion to League One before joining Wimbledon in January 2013.

There is a former Bee amongst Dartford’s ranks in striker Harry Crawford. The Watford-born forward made a total of 40 appearances for Barnet, scoring three goals, before returning to the club from which he joined Edgar Davids’ side in January 2013.

He has scored six times in 25 league starts this season, making him the club’s second-highest scorer to captain Elliot Bradbrook (seven goals).

Dartford XI v Torquay United (4.4.2015): Ibrahim; McAuley, Dallison, Richards, Driver; Hayes, Collier, Sweeney, Harris; Chiedozie, Crawford.
