The Fleetwood Town Post
Player ratings21 Sep 2026
Nobody could get near Ethan Ennis
Successful dribbles: 44. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
Squad21 Sep 2026
A knee injury of the worst kind for James Norwood
142 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Fleetwood Town lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.
Match16 Sep 2026
The small margins put Fleetwood Town out
Out, 0‑4 to Bolton Wanderers, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.
The terraces21 Sep 2026
Fleetwood Town are taken apart by Bolton Wanderers — and the town wants answers
It finished 0-4. A cup exit is a disappointment; this was a public dismantling, and the difference between the two is the number of people who will still be talking about it in August.

AJ Bridge, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.91
A mark of 7.91 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.
Squad21 Sep 2026
Ethan Ennis 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.
The terraces21 Sep 2026
The crowd has taken to AJ Bridge
At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
Match19 Sep 2026
Fleetwood Town see off Shrewsbury Town
Three points for Fleetwood Town, 1‑0 the final word against Shrewsbury Town in a contest settled by the finer margins.
Boardroom21 Sep 2026
Nobody left the Fleetwood Town dressing room in a hurry
The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.
