Ebbsfleet United boss Dennis Kutrieb says he does not read critical social media posts and insists no one is more frustrated with club’s form than him

Ebbsfleet manager Dennis Kutrieb insists he’s more frustrated than anyone by his side’s poor run of form.

The Fleet return to National League action at Hartlepool on Saturday but sit just one point above the relegation zone.

Kutrieb’s men have won just one of their last 11 league games, although they will be buoyed by a 5-0 Kent Senior Cup win over Cray Wanderers since their last National League match, a 1-0 defeat at home to Dagenham.

There’s been plenty of moans outside of the camp - but Kutrieb ensures he takes no notice of those on social media.

“On the streets or after the game when I go in the bar, everyone’s still positive because you can see the truth is we didn’t deserve to lose against Dagenham.

“It’s not like we didn’t know what we were doing or we had no clue, we played a good game against Southend as well when we had some good moments but they’re a very good side.

“We had our chances to win the game at Fylde but went home with a 1-1 draw.

“It’s coming. Obviously, I’m the most frustrated person in the building as I desperately want to have three points for us but I don’t get much outside noise.

“It’s the difference between fans and social media fans as they’ll always find something if they want to. That’s fine - we’ll never change it.
