Match

Whatever happens, Fleetwood Town do not lose

10 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Player ratings

Ángel Cardozo Lucena pops up at the right end — 7.86

7.86, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Squad

Tempers go at Fleetwood Town

Ángel Cardozo Lucena was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

George Morrison is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 21 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Denver Hume signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Denver Hume commits to Fleetwood Town for another 3 years.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Ben Wilson

Fleetwood Town asked and Coventry City said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Samson Tovide

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match

Fleetwood Town see off Newport County

Three points for Fleetwood Town, 1‑0 the final word against Newport County in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad

James Norwood is not the player he was

It happens to all of them and it is still the hardest paragraph a local paper has to write. 36 years old, 3 points down on where he was, and a body that has started charging interest on a career.

Transfer targets

Fleetwood Town make their move for Zak Gilsenan

$710.0K on the table at Grimsby Town. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Sverre Sandal

Fleetwood Town asked and Luton Town said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

A falling-out at Fleetwood Town

Rhys Bennett and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Denver Hume stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Denver Hume and Fleetwood Town agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Transfer targets

Fleetwood Town try to borrow Trey Nyoni

Liverpool have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

The dugout

Rhys Bennett asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Squad

Elliot Bonds takes the armband

It is a strip of cloth and it decides nothing on a Saturday. It still tells the dressing room exactly whose opinion the manager values, which is the whole point of it.

Market

Nobody at Fleetwood Town has picked up the phone to Denver Hume

36 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Market

Fleetwood Town and George Morrison are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.
