Ebbsfleet United striker Rakish Bingham says side must stick with front-footed formula in battle to stay in the National League

Ebbsfleet talisman Rakish Bingham has urged his team-mates not to take a backward step in their fight against relegation.

The Fleet have taken points off champions-elect Chesterfield and play-off hopefuls Oldham since sacking boss Dennis Kutrieb.

But they remain in the National League drop zone and Bingham has warned they can’t afford to change their approach at home to Eastleigh on Saturday and Woking on Tuesday - two big games that could go a long way to determining their fate.

“It’s goal time now, we need to carry on the way we’re going and roll our sleeves up,” stated Bingham.

“We need to roll our sleeves up. Exactly what we did at Chesterfield, and exactly what we did against Oldham, there’s no need to change any approach.

“We’ve approached it as though these are games that we’re going to win. Everyone saw at Chesterfield that we gave it a right go, their keeper came off the pitch having made quite a few saves and we could have come away with the win.

“Don’t concentrate on the table. We’ve got 13 games left so it’s 13 cup finals, that’s how we have to view it. We have to view every game like it’s the last game.

“The hard work that we saw at Chesterfield - I came off the pitch with cramp in the end - is hard and difficult but as long as we’re all pulling in the right direction and we all want the same thing then we’ll be okay, I have no doubt about that.

“It would mean everything to stay up. Being injured for long parts of the season and now coming back, the club have shown faith in me so I just want to contribute as much as I can.

“Everyone in the dressing room feels exactly the same, we want to contribute and get the club out of the situation that we’re in. We all feel that we shouldn’t be there, but it’s one thing
