Manager Liam Daish wants to see his Ebbsfleet United side display their mean streak to stop their downturn in results turning from a blip into a problem.

Fleet’s impressive run has taken them second in Blue Square Bet South but a defeat and a draw in their last two outings has slowed their momentum.

Daish (pictured) saw his side let a 2-0 lead slip against lowly Boreham Wood last weekend.

"Individual mistakes cost us and apart from that, they didn’t cause us any problems," said Daish, on the Boreham Wood draw.

"We need to be a bit more mean at this time of year and not let teams get a sniff of a chance or the feeling that they can get back into a match.

"Players need to put their foot through the ball and talk about things later.

"It’s something we will talk about in training this week and then we’ll move on to Saturday. We’ve got no time to dwell on it.

"People who were involved will realise they can’t do what they did and nine times out of 10 they have to deal with the situation.

"We haven’t done that on Saturday which is unfortunate but the way the results went, it didn’t change the situation too much.

"We haven’t lost so it’s not the end of the world but we want to get back to winning ways now."
