Boss Dennis Kutrieb warns in-form Ebbsfleet United not to get complacent ahead of National League South trips to Hungerford Town and Oxford City

Dennis Kutrieb is warning in-form Ebbsfleet “the world could look completely different” if they allow themselves to now become complacent.

The Fleet are top of National League South and progressed in the FA Cup last Saturday, beating Dover 2-0.

Ebbsfleet visit Hungerford in the league this Saturday before a trip to Oxford City on Tuesday.

“They are two tough games, two completely different challenges - one on grass and one on 3G,” said Fleet boss Kutrieb.

“One really tough game against a side that’s fighting hard, trying to get back to where they were last season. The other team [Hungerford] is struggling a little bit but they’re a good playing side.

“So, different playing styles but we will be up for it.

"If we don’t pay enough attention, the world could look completely different after the Tuesday game.”

Hungerford come into the match after a 3-1 FA Cup home loss to Gloucester, which was a third straight defeat. The Fleet, meanwhile, have scored 27 goals in nine successive wins.

Kutrieb said: “It’s amazing to have this run but it can be gone on Saturday if you’re not aware, if you’re not up for it, and you don’t deliver the basics in the right way. We try to implement it day-by-day.

“We just need to have this approach because we always create chances. As you saw on Saturday, we scored two but we could have scored five or six. That just comes with hard work and, if you do the hard work, you get the chances to score.

“If you’re ruthless, score your goals, you win games, and that’s what we need to do.”

Complacency doesn’t seem like something Kutrieb would allow to creep into his team’s play, though.
