Day 245

In a rare twist, our opponents are favourites for tomorrow’s match. Our respective odds to win are very similar, but it’s a nice change to be considered underdogs again. Fleetwood are on a good run at the moment; they’ve won six of their past eight matches. And they’ve got a lot to play for, being at the make-or-break point of their season. Sitting in 7th place, seven points adrift of the playoff zone, they need to win.

We beat them 1-0 in the reverse fixture back in October (some five-or-so months ago), thanks to a goal from Matthew Barnes-Homer. That was with Koroma being deployed as a winger, with Shuker injured and Christophe and Power as the central midfield pairing. Even with the injuries in the squad at the moment, we’re much stronger now than then. Koroma’s back tomorrow, so hopefully we’ll have that cutting edge we’ve been missing of late.
