Player ratings

Ethan Ennis scores twice — 8.88

Two goals and a mark of 8.88 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Keanan Bennetts

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Fleetwood Town find a way past Barrow AFC

Barrow AFC made Fleetwood Town work for it, but the scoreboard read 3‑2 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The terraces

Fleetwood Town supporters have found a favourite in Samson Tovide

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Samson Tovide has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Squad

Diego González wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Fleetwood Town can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

Squad

Will Davies signs on for more

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

Squad

Costly mistake from Jay Lynch

An error at the back is a moment; an error in goal is a goal. Jay Lynch knows it, the crowd knew it instantly, and there was nobody behind him to make it anything else.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” George Grant, on a 3‑2 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.

Match

After 14 games, Fleetwood Town finally taste it again

The first defeat in 14 matches. The manager will say it had to come; the dressing room will say it did not have to come against Notts County; the supporters will say both, in that order, all week.

Boardroom

Fleetwood Town close the window on a squad of their own making

2 in and 1 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Transfer targets

Patrick Roberts due for a Fleetwood Town medical

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

Squad

Ángel Cardozo Lucena 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Keanan Bennetts

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Transfer targets

Fleetwood Town rebuffed over Tobi Oluwayemi

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Leyton Orient have kept their man, and Fleetwood Town go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match

Notts County 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 manager makes an example of Jay Lynch

“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

Kaine Kesler Hayden needs a bigger stage

He is doing things every Saturday that nobody around him can answer. It is flattering for a season and a problem after that, and Fleetwood Town know which stage they are at.

In brief

  • The dugout The view from the dugout
  • Transfer targets A loan move for Kanya Fujimoto is in the works
  • Transfer targets A loan move for James McConnell is in the works

Squad

Ángel Cardozo Lucena wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Fleetwood Town know it.

Squad

Words exchanged at Fleetwood Town

Ángel Cardozo Lucena and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

A row about effort at Fleetwood Town

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Jomaine Consbruch was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match

Milton Keynes Dons 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

George Grant answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Jay Lynch

“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.

The dugout

Stephen McMullan has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Fleetwood Town will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The dugout

No place in the plan for Rhys Bennett

The manager wanted a different profile for this opponent, which is a real football reason and no consolation. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

Player ratings

Pol Valentín beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 9. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.
