Ebbsfleet make the long trip to Warrington for their FA Trophy replay on Tuesday night.

Sean Shields' stoppage-time equaliser kept them in the competition on Saturday just as the Evo-Stik League side looked set to pinch a 1-0 win at Stonebridge Road.

Fleet boss Daryl McMahon was very critical of his side after that game and knows they can't afford to be as poor again at Cantilever Park.

McMahon said: "I'd rather have a replay than not after that performance because we've got a chance to put it right and that's massively important as well.

"We've got to go there and compete. We know what it's going to be like.

"The pitch will probably be similar to ours, not in great nick.

"It'll be competitive, there will be flying tackles and we've got to enjoy that and roll our sleeves up.

"As much as I love playing good football, and anyone who's watched us knows we do, the team's always worked hard. On Saturday, we fell below that level."

The winners will be away to Wealdstone in the third round on Saturday, February 3.
