Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Ethan Ennis at 21 — 7.94

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Ethan Ennis did not need any: 7.94, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad

Stephen McMullan 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

Zech Medley in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Fleetwood Town this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Jorge Gonzalez the difference as Fleetwood Town beat Tranmere Rovers

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Jorge Gonzalez. 1‑0 against Tranmere Rovers, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings

Jorge Gonzalez in the eights

A performance of 8.28 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad

Words at Fleetwood Town training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Javi Zarzo is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

Fleetwood Town lose Alfie Wright

15 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Market

Still no ink between Fleetwood Town and Mark Helm

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Fleetwood Town, another week without a signature from Mark Helm.

Player ratings

Mark Helm runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 10. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Fleetwood Town turn down Adelaide United for James Norwood

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Lewis McCann attracts admirers

The name of Lewis McCann has come up in conversations Fleetwood Town were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad

Tempers go at Fleetwood Town

Ethan Ennis 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.

Boardroom

1 academy players handed senior numbers at Fleetwood Town

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Match

A bad afternoon for Fleetwood Town against Barnet

0‑2 to Barnet, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Market

Samuel Murphy steps up from the Fleetwood Town academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Samuel Murphy has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Mark Helm

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

Alfie Wright out for 45 days

The medical room confirms 45 days on the sidelines for Alfie Wright, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.
