Ebbsfleet United midfielder Jim Kellermann says squad confidence is low after poor National League start but knows best way to address that is with results ahead of journey to Braintree Town

Midfielder Jim Kellermann admits confidence is low among Ebbsfleet’s players - but knows the best way to improve that is by getting results.

Danny Searle’s Fleet side are the early National League basement boys after four successive defeats, beaten 3-0 at home to Woking in the latest of those on Saturday.

Ebbsfleet will return to action at Braintree today.

Kellermann, who was stand-in skipper against the Cards with club captain Josh Wright on the substitutes’ bench, said: “We really weren’t good enough on Saturday.

“We let the staff down, let the gaffer down and the fans down. But the good thing about this weekend is the games come thick and fast, so we just need to put it right at Braintree.

“We just need to get a point or a couple of points, and I think things will change.

“Confidence is a bit low but the only way to reverse that is to start winning games.”

Report: Ebbsfleet 0-3 Woking

Searle’s side originally started brightly against Woking, only to fail to make the most of numerous first-half set-pieces before they conceded from one themselves before half-time.

The Surrey side doubled their advantage in the second period as they capitalised on a bad pass from Ebbsfleet substitute Craig Tanner and substitute Matt Ward rounded things off for them in injury time.

“We conceded three really poor goals,” conceded 28-year-old Kellermann.

“Actually from set-pieces, we have been quite strong at the start of the season but the first goal is just unacceptable. From there, we’re chasing the game and mistakes can happen.

“The second goal is a killer. Then, heads go down and we’re just in that period of time where these little moments are really impacting us.

“We need to put it right.”
