THE BOTTLES of bubbly must have tasted pretty sweet at Ebbsfleet United last Saturday. After all, this is a club that is accused of losing its bottle when it comes to promotion.
EBBSFLEET UNITED manager Daryl McMahon was critical of his side following the 1-1 draw on Tuesday night against fellow promotion hopefuls Hampton & Richmond, saying they were lucky to get a point.
EVERYONE loves progress, nobody likes change, as the old saying goes. Well, if you’re a fan of Ebbsfleet United, you’re probably thinking there needs to be more changes if there’s to be more progression.
DARYL McMAHON has confirmed a budget cut has been imposed on him at Ebbsfleet United – but accepts the bookies may be right installing his side as National League South title favourites this time around.
GOSPORT BOROUGH boss Alex Pike says the club have not “cashed in” on Ebbsfleet bound goalkeeper Nathan Ashmore because of their recent financial worries.
DARYL MCMAHON says an experienced Aaron McLean, returning to his Non-League roots, will provide the calmness needed in the promotion storm – just as Ebbsfleet set a potential star on his way with teenager Shilow Tracey joining Premier League Spurs.
IF you were to believe what you read, Ebbsfleet United are already as good as National League South champions. Not the views of mischievous journalists or an ambitious entry laced with bitterness on a newspapers’ letters’ page, you understand.
