Ebbsfleet boss Dennis Kutrieb watched his team win their first Kent derby of the season – and then thanked the visitors for doing his team talk.
The Fleet made it six wins out of six in National League South with a 3-0 victory over Dover on Bank Holiday Monday. Dover assistant manager Mitch Brundle said the visitors were looking to burst the Fleet’s early-season bubble, but his words only seemed to drive Kutrieb on. “It was a big help when I read KentOnline this morning that they want to burst our bubble,” claimed the Fleet boss. “It was a big help for our boys in the changing room because that’s what you want to hear, you want to hear that people say ‘we’ll go there and win the game’ that’s what we want to do.
That was a big help for me so thanks Mitch Brundle for this. “We needed to work really hard, we knew we would get chances and could beat them with pace.
We created enough chances to score goals, we scored three and I’m really proud of the boys.” Kutrieb felt it was a difficult game against opponents who play what he described as ‘old school’ football.
