Fleetwood are the first side we'll have played twice in the league this season, having won at Highbury back in October. The cod army sit 4 points and 5 places above the relegation zone at present, in a comfortable 16th place. They've experienced very inconsistent form since we last faced them, winning 3, drawing 5 and losing 5 in the league. Fleetwood are pretty good on their travels, amassing 4 points more away from home than they have at home. They've only lost twice away in the league, at Exeter and Port Vale (opening game of the season), however they have drawn quite a lot. It's a fairly similar situation when we played them away, as they'd not suffered defeat at home prior to facing us. Historically, we've a good record against Fleetwood losing only twice in 9 meetings. That being said, both of those defeats have come at Oakwell, with us only winning 1 of 3 league meetings at home. The last time we met at Oakwell, we won 4-2 with McGeehan, Brown, Bahre and Woodrow on the scoresheet and that was our first victory over Fleetwood at home. I'm going for a return to winning ways, with a 1-0 win with Phillips scoring.
I fancy us for the win. We didn’t play bad, yesterday, we were just poor in the opposition’s box and had a terrible ref. But on home soil, I predict a 2-0 win with a Cole tap in and a Phillips 20-yard special.
I took grandson to Morecambe, that went well. It’s the turn of youngest son today, I like to share the pain. 0:0
Going to be a tight one this. Fleetwood have only lost 3 away all season and drew at Ipswich a couple of weeks ago.
they are on I-Follow. I would doubt they are on the red button that is reserved for the Championship.
I'm feeling another draw. Hoping we can find some magic in the box. Maybe Phillips or Kane? Or a low cross for Cole.
First game of the season for me and first I've seen since walking out of the Den with twenty minutes to go and us being four nil down. I think they'll come and pack the proverbial and we'll struggle to break them down. A draw for me but hoping being for better
