Daish wants supporters to start talking about on-field issues

Manager Liam Daish is hoping Ebbsfleet's good form will get their fans talking about football again.

Fleet have taken four points from games against Luton and Telford but Daish says arguments about the club's future are becoming a distraction.

Daish told BBC Radio Kent: "There's been a lot of flack going around, arguing on internet forums.

"I've just kept my silence, but it's not been nice, I've not enjoyed reading about it."

Daish continued: "It's going to be nice for the next few days to have fans talking about what is going on on the pitch and not off it."

Ebbsfleet currently lie 19th in the Blue Square Conference, having gained 15 points from their 16 matches this season.

Daish said: "It's brought the focus back on what it's all about.

"We can't sort out what's being argued about off the pitch. It's all about a football team. We can't do anything about that, we just want to get the enthusiasm back. The other side of it, I have nothing to do with it.

"We've just got to keep a decent mood in the camp and get the supporters talking about the positive side, not the negative side," he said.

There is commentary of Ebbsfleet United v Grimsby Town on bbc.co.uk/kent on Tuesday 18 October 2011 at 1945 BST.
