Ebbsfleet United manager Josh Wright reacts to 2-2 draw with Farnborough in National League South

Ebbsfleet manager Josh Wright admitted they let their standards slip after another drawn game on Saturday.

The Fleet were held 2-2 by Farnborough in National League South – their sixth draw in eight games.

“If we fall short this season, it's going to be looking back at missed chances, right the way from the start,” he added.

“Not just this recent four-week period where we've given up leads to draw games. Today was a slight opposite and we
