Ebbsfleet manager Josh Wright was left counting the cost of their home draw with Horsham on Tuesday.
The Fleet remain unbeaten in National League South after Charlie Seaman’s late leveller in a 2-2 draw at Stonebridge Road.
Wright named an unchanged team but then lost both Kwesi Appiah and Ronny Nelson to injury.
Asked if he regretted naming an unchanged team, Wright responded: “I wouldn't say so much regret, it's hindsight, it's easy to say it.
“I probably had a little bit too much time to think about it, but the boys deserved it. The boys deserved to start on the back of a 6-1 win.
“I felt I got players off at the right time on Saturday and freshened the squad up.
“There's thoughts but If you go and win that game, you won't even be saying that.
“I wouldn't say there's ever a regret. Sometimes as a manager, you hold your hands up when you're contemplating things and maybe I chose the wrong one, who knows?
“You never know, it might have been worse the other way. But I can't come away from the fact that we've got a point here.
“You want to win every game, but you know you won't win every game. We know there'll be bumps and hurdles within it, but the big thing is we haven't lost and that's massive to keep this unbeaten record going.
“That could turn out to be a really valuable point.”
The Fleet have had to play Saturday-Tuesday for the past four weeks and while results have gone in their favour, there was always the fear that injuries could catch up with the squad playing so many games in quick succession.
That run continues as the Fleet host Maidenhead in the league on Saturday before travelling to Maidstone on Tuesday.
“I knew it would come at some stage,” admitted Wright. “Ronny has been on my radar for a while but it's been difficult because he's been so good and he gives us balance.
“Kwesi, I'm not sure, it might just be a dead leg. We don't know. Ronny, we might have caught it early or it might be a bit of cramp.
“But that's what you have a squad for. I've got individuals chomping at the bit to come in. We've got individuals coming back from injury as well.
“We’ll see where they're at and then I'll pick a squad and a team on Saturday to go and put a performance in to try and back this up with a stronger performance and hopefully another three points.”
