The terraces

Anger at Fleetwood Town spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Player ratings

John Kelly runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 34. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

No end in sight to Fleetwood Town's wait for a win

8 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Fleetwood Town has to find a result from somewhere.

Match

The goals have deserted Fleetwood Town

7 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Fleetwood Town can tell you which week it ends in.

Squad

Real improvement from Elidon O'Boyle at Fleetwood Town

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Elidon O'Boyle is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

A late step up for Conor Shaughnessy

At 32 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 4 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

Squad

Tempers go at Fleetwood Town

Stephen McMullan 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

Graduation day at Fleetwood Town

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Market

Daniel Taylor steps up from the Fleetwood Town academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Daniel Taylor 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.

In brief
