After 20 minutes it
appeared that the journey to the West Midlands was going to be a wasted one as
Andy Brown and Adam Walker quickly established a comfortable advantage for the
hosts.
But within 10
minutes, the visitors had turned the game around as Tom Phipp, Nathan Elder and
new signing Moses Ashikodi all struck to send the Fleet into half time with the
lead.
Striker Liam
Enver-Marum, who had returned to Ebbsfleet following his trial at League One
Stevenage, added a fourth soon after the break to give the Kent club some
breathing space.
Robbie Thompson-Brown
provide Nuneaton with some hope, but Phipp struck again two minutes from time
to seal a dramatic opening day victory.
Post match, Ebbsfleet
boss Liam Daish was pleased to get off to a good start but insists his side
would need to be better defensively to improve on last season’s efforts.
Speaking to BBC Radio
Kent Daish said: “It must have been good for the neutral and we haven't won on
the first day of the season for a long time.”
He continued: “All
the strikers got off the mark, which is great, and we took our chances well. We
got back in the game. There were always going to be goals but I didn't expect
that many.”
The Fleet welcome
Braintree Town to Stonebridge Road on Tuesday evening in the first of
back-to-back home matches.
Wrexham are next on
the agenda and Daish is keen to build momentum and make the most of the best
possible start to the new season.
He concluded: “I've
got to start on the positives, I know there were negatives that I will
highlight to the players, but we're off and running and we've got our first
three points on the road.”
