Freedom Is Key For Fleet As They Sail Into The Play-Offs

Kenny Clark’s 81st-minute winner at Eastleigh on Tuesday night saw Fleet move up to seventh, leapfrogging Wrexham.

McMahon’s side have now won three games in a row and have kept clean sheets in all of them.

They host Sutton United on Saturday before finishing their season on the road at Gateshead and Torquay United.

Fleet are one of the form sides in the division but their boss won’t be taking a top seven finish for granted.

“We’ve been here before as a group in these situations where teams can get tense,” he told the club’s website.

“We’re not tense, you can see from the first 45 minutes (at Eastleigh) that we’re enjoying our football. The lads are playing with a smile on their face, they’re confident, they believe in each other. Long may it continue.

“We won’t get carried away, there’s loads we have to improve on and work on but we’re sitting in a nice position now and we’ve got a massive game on Saturday,

“In the first half today, maybe not the second, we were excellent. We seem to marry up real quality and real desire to keep clean sheets and that’s good.”
