WE HEAD INTO 2019

AFC FYLDE TAKE 4 POINTS FROM THEIR LAST TWO GAMES AND ADVANCE INTO THE FA TROPHY SECOND ROUND

AFC FYLDE 2-0 HARTLEPOOL UNITED
After losing to Hartlepool in the league recently, Fylde got their revenge in the FA Trophy with a comfortable 2-0 win. Centre forward Barry Corr got a rare start and managed to score an instinctive centre forward's goal with a hit into the bottom corner. James Hardy doubled the lead in the second half. Hartlepool gave a good account of themselves but were unlucky in front of goal.


HARROGATE 1-1 AFC FYLDE
Harrogate took the lead in the fourth minute from the penalty spot but an equaliser on the stroke of half time by man of the match Luke Burke, who is having an outstanding season at right back put Fylde back into the game. Fylde did not do enough to get the victory and were disappointed to draw with Harrogate who sat 22nd in the table.


AFC FYLDE 2-1 BARROW
The scoreline flatters a disappointing performance from Fylde. James Hardy and Danny Rowe put The Coasters 2-0 up but Jack Diamond pulled one back in the 60th minute to put a few nerves in the Fylde side. It should've been a much more comfortable win for Fylde but they were disappointing and Ferguson let them know they need to be performing much better, especially at home to a side who have lost their last 9 league games.

Not much change in terms of league position but AFC Fylde have two games in hand over the teams around them and if they want to have a chance of the play-offs, they need to win both of them.

In other news, Central Defender Danny Kane who is on loan from Cork City will be returning back to Cork after his loan contract with Fylde comes to an end in mid-January. An offer was made to retain the player until the end of the season but Cork City felt Kane will make an impact at Cork. Ferguson was disappointed to be losing Danny Kane and needed to act quickly for a replacement. A call was made to Darren Moore at West Bromich Albion in relation to Central Defender Nathan Ferguson, an 18 year old U23 player about a loan deal until the end of the season.

Nathan Ferguson put in a competent performance in the 2-1 victory over Barrow.
 

You gonna try and buy Danny Kane in the summer ? Just the sort of no nonsense defender we're gonna need in League Two.

He's the best centre back currently at the club and has been one of the main reasons we've kept so many clean sheets. I can't fault Cork for wanting him back and unless I sell some of our better players, there's no transfer budget to be able to bring him in. At the moment it seems loans are our better option.

Is there any way we can raise some money commercially, even get some of the lads door knocking local businesses.
 
Big Dunc must be realising what a slog it is to get out of this division. We've not had any terrible results but we're still floating mid table. I didn't realise we had 2 games in hand. Put 4 or 6 points on our total and the promotion places are in sight.

I reckon a bit of morale boosting at this point of the season is needed for the lads. I bet the Huck could step up for this job. Get a friendly sorted with Everton and Newcastle Dunc! Use your links and generate those funds. Bring back Big Dan Kane, he's a rock.

I don't know if this current crop of players has it in them to get promoted. Dan was the unofficial leader on the park and heads have already started to drop on the training pitch.

Also Huckerby eyeing a return to Coventry as D.O.F is the word on the street.
