The dugout

Miłosz Piekutowski: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Fleetwood Town have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Dan Kemp gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Dan Kemp has just signed for Fleetwood Town, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad

A falling-out at Fleetwood Town

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

Squad

Real improvement from Fawaz Junaid at Fleetwood Town

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Fawaz Junaid is 18, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Elliot Bonds signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Elliot Bonds and Fleetwood Town agree another 3 years.

Match

Tranmere Rovers take the points off Fleetwood Town

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑2 defeat, delivered by George Grant to a room that had heard them before.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Samson Tovide

Successful dribbles: 14. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Fleetwood Town and Keanan Bennetts 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.

Market

Fleetwood Town make Ante Crnac the dearest name in their history

$5.2M. Fees like that buy a footballer and rent a debate: every touch will be measured against the number for a season at least.

Squad

The knee: Jordan Davies out for 87 days

87 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Fleetwood Town lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad

A fracture rules Shaun Rooney out for 99 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Fleetwood Town will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market

Will Johnson asks to leave Fleetwood Town

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Transfer targets

Ronnie Hollingshead due for a Fleetwood Town medical

Everything agreed with Aston Villa, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad

Fawaz Junaid is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 17 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

Santino Duarte gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Santino Duarte has just signed for Fleetwood Town, and for once the answer mattered.

Transfer targets

Fleetwood Town baulk at the price for Charlie Wragg

Walsall wanted more than $60.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

The terraces

$5.2M for Ante Crnac, and Fleetwood Town supporters approve

Boards get told what they have done wrong for years and hear nothing on the days they get it right. This is one of those days: Ante Crnac from Norwich City for $5.2M, and a ticket office having a very good morning.

In brief
