Ebbsfleet boss insists they are adapting to new league

Ebbsfleet United boss Liam Daish says his team are still adjusting to the demands of the Blue Square Bet Premier.

Having been promoted last season, Fleet have remained a part-time club in a mainly fully professional division and are yet to win in four league games.

But Daish believes draws in their last two matches have shown they are getting to grips with the step up.

He told BBC Radio Kent: "They need to catch on to the pace of the game and of the league."

He added: "They have to keep chances for opponents at a minimum, taking your own chances and having a real bit of belief in that final third to keep knocking on the door.

"There is a fine line between winning games and losing them, and you just want to try and stay either on that line, or fall the right side of it."

Meanwhile, defender Clint Easton thinks his side need to tighten up their act if they are to stay up this season.

He told BBC Radio Kent: "All four games could have gone either way - it could have been 0-0, 4-4, I think that's the one thing we've got to tighten up on.

"We want to be the team in the ascendancy - creating chances and not being too open, not so much end-to-end stuff - we need to shut up shop on that one."
