Ebbsfleet United have Scunthorpe United loan striker Matt Godden back on loan and Moses Ashikodi nearing full fitness
by Steve

Ebbsfleet have received
a timely double boost in the goal-scoring department as their scrap
for survival intensifies.
Scunthorpe
striker Matt Godden is back at the club for a second loan spell and
injured forward Moses Ashikodi is closing in on a return to
action.
Godden, who energised the
Fleet during a month-long stay toward the end of last year, looked
equally sharp in Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Newport.
Ashikodi (pictured) watched
that game from the stands but revealed he was back in training
after three months out with a knee problem.
He said: "I’m supposed to be
close, within a week. I’ve been in the gym every day.
Ebbsfleet have 11 games to
save themselves from the drop. Ashikodi’s goals almost kept them up
during his previous spell at Stonebridge Road, in
2009-10.
For Godden, this is unknown
territory but his hunger to impress could make the difference for
Liam Daish’s side.
He said: "I want to be
playing football and scoring goals. If I can score goals to keep
the team up, that’s the most important thing."
