March is going to be the make-or-break month for Ebbsfleet’s promotion hopes.

Three of the Fleet’s next five games are against teams in the Vanarama Conference South top five, starting with a trip to leaders Bromley on Saturday.

Jamie Day’s side, who are 10 points below the play-offs, then visit Havant & Waterlooville on March 21 before Whitehawk come to Stonebridge Road on Good Friday.

Day said: "The next three games will dictate where we’re going to be at and what we’re doing.

"I still believe we’ve got the ability in the squad to go up but it’s getting increasingly difficult with the amount of games that we’ve got to win.

"We’re still confident and positive but we’re making hard work of it."

Saturday’s game at Hayes Lane will be the second time Ebbsfleet and Bromley have met in less than three weeks.

A Reece Prestedge goal handed the title favourites a 1-0 win at Stonebridge Road on February 17.

Day said: "They’ve got a good squad of players and they’re doing well so we know it’s going to be a tough game.

"We have to go there and get three points but when you’re winning games (like Bromley are) and you get momentum, it’s not going to be easy."
