Daish's side have just one victory this season

Ebbsfleet United manager Liam Daish says the struggles on and off the pitch have made this season his most difficult time in football.

Fleet are currently second from bottom in the Blue Square Premier, winning just once all season and without a goal in the last six games.

Daish told BBC Radio Kent: "Without doubt, it's been my toughest time as either a manager or a player.

"But it makes you better, more equipped and stronger," he said.

Daish has faced squad problems this season, with only a handful of players available because of financial problems off the field.

A falling number of subscribers to the club website has meant there has been less money to spend, but Daish is optimistic.

"You get on with things. It's no good bleating and moaning. You've got to have a moan every now and then, but you get on with it and it's a test and a challenge I'm trying to enjoy," he said.
