Ebbsfleet United's Darren McQueen on playing as a wing-back and supersub label after 100 per cent start in National League South

Ebbsfleet's Darren McQueen isn't keen on losing the striker label and replacing it with supersub - just yet!

The 27-year-old has netted three goals after coming off the bench and playing as a right wing-back this season, the latest sealing a 3-1 win over Bath last Saturday.

"I don't like the name but that's what is happening so far!" he said. "To be fair, if I'm getting on the pitch and helping the team hopefully my time will come.
