I’d take a draw, suspect same applies to Posh.
Lots of our players have a point to prove.
Would love to see George Cooper start, certainly he and Mayor looked better on left last week than Moore and Mayor did yesterday.
Jephcott and Hardie to start up front too.
Camara to also start.
Yes, as long as his confidence is ok get Camara back in the side. Hopefully yesterday was a blip.
Putting the performance to one side its interesting how Fleetwood with a home ground capacity of around 5500 can finance and sustain a squad of players that Barton has assembled?
Yes I was wondering that too.
Fleetwood Town are effectively a subsidiary of BES Utilities - an energy company - and Andy Pillar, the owner, drives a whole fleet of horses and carriages through the financial fair play regulations. BES own the ground and their main offices are in the Grandstand.
Andy Pillar threatened to pull out of Fleetwood Town if the Conservative hadn't won the last election and actively encouraged all of his employees to vote for them.
As the main sponsor of Fleetwood Town, it enables BES to pump limitless funds into the club. That is how they can pay the sort of salary that Barton wants and how they can out-bid most clubs at our level for any free agents.
The fact that even when the crowds return, they will struggle to get 3500 fans in the ground is irrelevant because BES will cover all their losses by clever accountancy.
