Dartford manager Tony Burman told BBC Radio Kent:
Burman - that was three points dropped
"Their three goals were three mistakes and we've been punished for them but I think we did all right.
"We deserved something from the game, if not all three points. But if you make mistakes you get punished.
"I don't think we played poorly, we let a ball drop from the goalkeepers hands and on another day we get something from the game.
"It's three points dropped, the team performance was good."
