Bottom side Ebbsfleet’s winless run extended to seven games despite a late fightback against fellow strugglers Wealdstone on Saturday.
With a third of the season now completed, the Fleet are eight points from safety having bagged just one National League win in 16 matches.
Despite scoring twice in the last four minutes, they may look back at this one as a big opportunity missed. Ebbsfleet made three changes from the side that lost 3-1 at Forest Green in midweek as Wes Fonguck, Franklin Domi and Rakish Bingham replaced Louis John, Jim Kellermann and Craig Tanner.
It meant a front two of Aaron Cosgrave and Dominic Poleon for the hosts, the former looking particularly lively in the early exchanges which included one excellent run from near the halfway line after just eight minutes, but his cross failed to pick out a team-mate for what would have been a tap-in.
