An away trip to the side who are top, could see the Stones move to within a point of seventh, writes Tom Feaheny.
"If you want to be in the top seven, you have to defeat the teams that are right up there, that is Dartford," Wilkinson told the club's website.
"If we want to be up there at the end of the season, games like this are crucial.
"We will have to be at our best to defeat a team like them who are first for a reason.
"The lads have been fantastic since I came in, there is a real belief that we will achieve what we want, but after the Oxford loss we know we have to up our match, we are facing a team that will test us."
