Ebbsfleet manager Daryl McMahon says maintaining winning run is not getting any easier

Ebbsfleet boss Daryl McMahon has insisted that maintaining their winning run is not getting any easier.

The Fleet made it 11 wins and a draw in 12 league games since the turn of the year on Saturday by beating Weston 2-1 at Stonebridge Road.

They look to extend that record on Tuesday night - and keep the pressure on leaders Maidenhead - when they host Bishop's Stortford.

"I don't think it gets any easier for us," said McMahon. "Every game is difficult for us.

"We've said it before, everyone comes here and it's probably their biggest game of the season, especially with the new stand and stuff like that.

"Every game is tough, we respect everyone we play and prepare for everyone we play. We'll do the same for Bishop's Stortford on Tuesday night who are fighting for their lives.

"That won't be easy either. I'm sure everyone will look at the league table and think it will be but they've got some good players and they'll come here with a gameplan and try to disrupt us."

McMahon named an unchanged team against Weston but could make changes for the clash with second-bottom Stortford.

Dean Rance, Sean Shields and Darren McQueen all came off the bench to play a part in that victory.

"Weston had a way of playing with no pressure on them in the league table," added McMahon.

"They came here played quite well but in the end we were a little bit too strong for them.

"When you win a game late on like we did then it almost feels like more than three points because of the situation we're in.

"We need to carry that into Tuesday night and we need the crowd behind us again as they have been all season."
