18 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.

Pharrell Brown is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 23 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.

One of our own: David Martin joins the Fleetwood Town first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. David Martin is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
