Liam Daish seeks consistency from Ebbsfleet United ahead of Barrow clash in Blue Square Bet Premier
by Steve Tervet
Ebbsfleet make their longest trip of the season this
weekend hoping to stay within touching distance of their relegation
rivals in Blue Square Bet Premier.
Saturday’s game at Barrow represents a 630-mile round-trip for
the Fleet and a crunch clash against one of the other clubs
desperately batting to avoid the drop.
The Bluebirds have only won four games at home all season but
Ebbsfleet boss Liam Daish (pictured) is concerned only by how
his players acquit themselves in Cumbria.
He said: "We’ve got to keep consistent in our performances. We
played well against Newport, we were dreadful against Alfreton and
then played well against Southport.
"Results aren’t always going to go for us but if we keep
consistent in our performances and we come to the end of the
season, you can decide then if we’re good enough or not. That might
just be down to individual quality and players.
"You’ve got to keep that platform in place to at least give
yourself a chance."
The Fleet boss reserved a special mention for Stefan Payne, who
returned to the starting line-up for the first time since injuring
his foot at Grimsby on February 26.
Daish said: "Getting Stef back was good, getting him playing. He
does give you that little bit of directness. A lot of players think
they’ve got to put a trick in but he really caused Southport
problems."
