Ebbsfleet boss Liam Daish expects Paul Lorraine to stay calm – even if Hereford striker Kyle Perry tries to wind him up again.

Captain Lorraine (pictured) has just completed a three-match ban following an off-the-ball incident involving Perry in Fleet’s FA Trophy defeat by Hereford last month.

It was the second time in as many seasons Lorraine has seen red for clashing with Perry and the pair are likely to face each other again when Fleet host Hereford in Blue Square Bet Premier on Saturday.

Boss Daish said: "I will mention it to Paul but I shouldn’t really have to say anything. He should know by now not to get involved and I expect him to be mature enough not to.

"I just want him to go out there, lead the team properly and not get sucked into any shenanigans.

"I don’t know if Perry will try to wind him up but if he does, I don’t expect Paul to bite and the same goes for the rest of my team."

Injured trio Preston Edwards (ribs), Liam Bellamy (ankle) and Nathan Elder (ankle) should be fit for the Hereford game but on-loan striker Matt Godden has been recalled by Scunthorpe.
