Ebbsfleet United manager Dennis Kutrieb reacts to 4-2 win over Farnborough in National League South

Ebbsfleet boss Dennis Kutrieb has urged his table-toppers to stay on the front foot.

The Fleet overcame Farnborough 4-2 on Saturday to remain top of National League South with a 100 per cent record after four games.

But they made hard work of it after establishing a 3-1 lead on the hour mark, the visitors pulling one back with 20 minutes left to make for a nervy finale.

“I think you could see especially after going 3-1 up, if we don’t put our foot on the pedal we start to struggle,” said Kutrieb.

“We need to be on the front foot, we need to attack, we need to drive the ball and make sure we don’t make easy mistakes and concede easy goals and then we will be fine.

“Going forward we will always create chances to score goals, that’s what we’ve done the first three games and we did it better on Saturday with four goals, that’s outstanding and the quality is there.

“But we need to make sure that we defend as a team properly enough that we don’t concede goals.”

The Fleet contributed to both goals that they conceded against Farnborough.

One square ball on halfway was intercepted for the first goal, the second effort coming after they failed to clear on the edge of their own penalty area.

“For me, it doesn’t matter if it’s a shot outside the box or a transition, it’s just too easy,” added the Fleet boss.

“We need to make sure it's not happening, it was an easy mistake from us in a dangerous area. You can’t lose the ball there, if you lose it there in our league then you get punished.

“Even in the first half they had good positions after one or two transitions and we needed our goalkeeper. We will get better because we’ll put our focus on it.”

Fleet’s focus will come through analysis and on the training ground.
