Ebbsfleet United manager Josh Wright says there’s a lot more to come from his team as they get into their stride in National League South

Ebbsfleet boss Josh Wright believes his side have made a “steady” start to the season.

The Fleet have picked up 11 points from their first seven games in National League South.

They won their opening three matches but have found points harder to come by since then, losing 3-2 at Hampton last Saturday before a goalless draw at Hemel Hempstead on Tuesday.

“You can call it steady, you can call it decent,” said Wright.

“This hasn’t been a bad start at all. We got off to a flyer and really came out of the blocks as quick as you can with the three wins and three clean sheets.

“We had a little trip, we’ve had a little stumble, but we’re levelling out. Everything we do is geared towards being successful.

“We work so hard, not just me and my staff, but the players and everyone at the football club.

“We’re not far away. That’s four clean sheets in seven games. If we can just try and marry the two of them together in terms of scoring some more goals with it, we’ll be winning a lot more games than we won’t.”

Wright is putting every possible hour into making his first managerial role a success. But he knows it’s a long season and he’ll be keeping a level head throughout.

“We’re football, football, football and we’re Ebbsfleet,” said Wright. “That’s me going out to games, me watching games on the computer all day, every day, me and my assistant going to games on Tuesday nights, Wednesday nights, when we get opportunities.

“We want to be successful at Ebbsfleet and we want to make this happen.

“It’s been a steady start, and it could have been better, but we can’t get too high when we win games and we can’t get too low when we don’t win games because it’s a long season.
