FYLDE CLIMB BACK TO THE TOP
It was a poor result away to Boreham Wood and a poor performance to match as Fylde came away without any points but it was a contrasting performance four days later when Leyton Orient travelled to Mill Farm. Fylde found themselves 1-0 down in the 56th minute after playing good direct football in the first half and it looked like it could have been one of those days for Fylde but their fortunes changed when Ferguson went with two up top in McFarlane and Rowe when Rowe earned a penalty after being fouled in the 79th minute. With Rowe stepping up, there was no mistake as it was blasted into the bottom corner. Substitute Kyle McFarlane scored the winner in the 85th minute ensuring all three points were in the bag.
On loan winger Stephen Dooley was the name of everyone's lipps after two goals from the left wing in the 3-1 victory over Harrogate but later went off injured in the 68th minute. It was confirmed he could be ruled out for two months.
Struggling Eastleigh were up against a side in good form and it was two second half goals with a spectacular header from Centre back Tom Brewitt.
We are just over the halfway mark in the campaign and it is Fylde who sit at the top going into the christmas period. A tough game against Salford City on boxing day awaits The Coasters.

Very life-like that. Its just the short of breathtakingly bad, panicky appointment I'd expect from the Ton! lol
@The Penalty Box Dancer .Your next challenge (should you choose to accept it) is for you in your user name,to take Dunbeholden FC to the top of the Jamaican league.
Oh look. SI Games still haven't fixed the utterly broke manager reputation bug in Football Manager after all these years. What a surprise!

Considering Everton are 15th in the table and being sucked into a relegation battle, they had to act fast and make a panicking decision. But I imagine he is only on a short term deal.

AFC FYLDE HAPPY WITH FERGUSONS COMMITMENT TO THE JOB
Ferguson denied any approach from Lincoln City and stated he still has a job to do at Fylde. It is rumoured Ferguson was also approached for the vacant Blackpool job but denied the opportunity to attend an interview.

Fylde continued their remarkable form in the Vanarama National League with the only points dropped were against Hartlepool United. Fylde trailed the game 1-0 and it looked like a certain defeat until striker Kyle McFarlane equalised in the 85th minute and grabbed a point for The Coasters. A big win came thre days later away to Billericay. Danny Rowe was back to his usual devasting poacher-like form grabbing two goals and in-form winger James Hardy with the other with one goal coming from an own goal.
Left winger Joe Cardle scored an excellent left footed volley against Halifax scoring the only goal in a game were Fylde could have had more.
With a recent run of results under their belt, it looked like everything had started to click into place with a very impressive performance against Salford City. Fylde played a very direct passing game and Joe Cardle stood out as the games best performer scoring two clinical goals in a performance that can only be described as beautiful. The Fylde faithful took to twitter after the match with superlatives for sought after Joe Cardle hoping their wizard will sign his contract extension with his deal up in the summer. It is rumoured Cardle is hoping for a big money move into the football league as a number of Fylde players are also targets for the so-called bigger clubs in England. Centre-back Nathanael Ogbeta was the subject of a bid from Scottish club Hibernian but Ferguson refuses to lose one of his key players with such an important phase of the season coming up.
The non-league football paper caught up with Duncan Ferguson:
DF: What we saw out there against Salford was the blueprint for what we set out to do 18 months ago. Everything came together and we have a fantastic first team squad capable of so much more than the National League. It is our aim to keep these lads together and progress into the football league. There is a bit of speculation surrounding our players but that's only because of how well they are doing. I ask them to be patient because if they continue to play this way there's no reason we can't be involved in promotion or play-offs this season.

OGBETA SEALS HEARTS MOVE
Duncan Ferguson stated in his Torquay pre-match press conference that it was a deal that Fylde could not refuse for both the club and the player. He insisted the player wanted to leave to further his career but Ferguson wanted to keep Ogbeta until the end of the season to help with the push for promotion. Ferguson also claimed it is not good for squad morale to keep a player who is unhappy and could unsettle the squad during an important phase for the club. Ogbeta was only at Fylde for 6 months before sealing his move to Hearts. It is now an opportunity for Niall Canavan to prove himself for a start at Centre back after finding himself out of favour as of late.

AS WE APPROACH THE BUSINESS END OF THE SEASON....
It was a point apiece in the game against Dagenham and Redbridge where either side were unable to take control of the game. Dagenham put in a very good display against the league leaders and in the end a draw was a fair result.
Hereford dominated away at Mill Farm in a game Duncan Ferguson made numerous changes. It was an opportunity for fringe players to prove what they could do but it was apparent Ferguson has other priorities this season and made the changes accordingly. It was a poor showing from Fylde and to make matters worse, goalkeeper put the ball into his own net in the 95th minute.
It was back to league action against struggling side Torquay United. Winger Joe Cardle scored two absolute beauties with his devastating left foot with assists coming from right winger James Hardy. Joe Cardle, who has attracted a lot of interest from League One clubs, has been labelled the 'non-league Gareth Bale'.
One of the games of the season between the leagues big boys. James Hardy put the coasters 1-0 up early on in the game but Tranmere pushed and pushed and eventually got the equaliser towards the end of the second half going in at 1-1. Danny Rowe his his free kick agains the wall in the 50th minute but the rebound fell kindly and was able to twist and turn into a shooting position and make the scoreline 2-1. It was not over yet as Tranmere put Fylde under second half pressure and scored from a corner kick making it seem like the game was destined for a draw bur Fylde did not give up and this is why they are top of the league. In form striker Danny Rowe this time, got his free kick up and over the wall with it nestling into the top corner! 3-2! The final whistle blew and there was scenes of delight from the bench as Duncan Ferguson fist bumped the air with elation before making his way over to the travelling coasters.

Deservedly so, winger Joe Cardle picked up the player of the month award with some exquisite displays. Joe proved his worth by getting himself forward and into goalscoring positions. He has been one of Fylde's outstanding performers this season.
Upon picking up his second manager of the month award, Duncan Ferguson had this to say. "It's a great achievement but it is an award that does concern me. They say whoever wins these things is cursed from then on! It's not just me, it's the lads out there week in, week out who are digging in hard and getting us the results."
(Ferguson on promotion)
"We are taking it one game at a time and if we are up there at end of the seaon then fantastic but it's not something that we discuss in the dressing room or on the training ground. We are focused on each game as it comes and are ensuring we are all in the best possible condition."
