With Gary Alexander in position as manager the 2018–19 season started well with three wins. This though was followed by a league run of five defeats and two draws and early exit from FA Cup and Trophy competitions. Three successive wins in November looked to have got the team back on track and seventh in the table but the manager was sacked (via a Saturday evening text message) at the end of November. He was immediately replaced by Tommy Warrilow who had become available following the early season demise of Thamesmead Town. Warrilow had been a former Ashford Town player in the mid-nineties and had a solid non-league management record at Tonbridge Angels and Cray Wanderers.
