Under-fire Daryl McMahon is determined to carry on as Ebbsfleet manager.

Fleet suffered back-to-back defeats to Gosport and Chelmsford over the weekend and have won just one of their last seven games in National League South.

They now sit 10th having played a game more than most of their rivals and McMahon faces a big task to lift his players before the visit of Wealdstone on Saturday.

But he said: "That’s my job and I’ll keep on doing it.

"It’s not easy. It’s my first time being in this kind of situation. Last year wasn’t plain sailing but it was a really good time.

"Now we’ve started the season and we’re under a bit of pressure. I’m under a bit of pressure but I won’t be shirking anything. I never do and I never will.

"I won’t go missing anywhere or hiding anywhere. I’m ready to take the club forward and you can see by the performance of the players where their heads are at.

"We’ve got to keep working hard. These are the difficult times in football.

"We’ve been used to winning and playing well and at the minute, we’re not.

"We need to turn it around very quickly."

Fleet conceded a late winner at Chelmsford on Monday after captain Dave Winfield had been shown a straight red card for a challenge on former Fleet striker Billy Bricknell.

"I’d like to see it again," McMahon said. "I don’t think it was (a sending-off) if I’m being honest, especially a straight red. He’s not gone with any malice to elbow anybody.

"The first half was bitty, a lot of set-pieces, no real football played.

"Right at the start of the second half, our fitness levels definitely told and we took the game to them. We started taking over the game.

"We got a lot of joy with Shieldsy at the start of the second half but the sending-off is a massive turning point in the game. It swings it back in their favour.

"Before the sending-off, we were the team in the ascendancy. It’s just the way it’s going for us at the minute. Anything that could go wrong for us is going wrong for us.

"The 10 who stayed on the pitch battled hard. The one bit of bad defending we had in that last little period has killed us and cost us the game.

"That’s what we’re going through at the minute."
