From the Dugout – Luke Garrard  

“I have said it before, it breeds habits, it breeds mentality, so I want to get a winning mentality at this football club, which I feel that we have.

“We have lost two games in the league, in 19/20 matches, that is an amazing feat.

“And, we have come here today (Ebbsfleet United) against a team that are organised and well-drilled, and he gets them playing in a certain manner and we have done them 3-0.

“Hitchin is no different and I am going to utilize the first team.

“I am going to take bodies there to play the fixture, because I feel that we need to get people minutes and we need to continue this habit of winning.”
