LEAGUE LEADERS EXTEND THE GAP
At the start of the season we all thought it would be Fylde flying the flag however it is York City in pole position for promotion to League Two and they played well enough in their encounter with Fylde. Dimitri Sea was a handful and won his side a penalty in the first half, Feeney obstructing the playmaker and conceding a penalty. Smith slotted from the spot with ease and York had the lead. The second came shortly after, the free-kick swung into the box and Tariq Lamptey making a mess by miss-kicking the ball leaving it for Booth to poke it in. 2-0 up and surely York will not be stopped now, the league leaders playing like champions against the bookies favourite. Ferguson was out of options and brought on youngster Jordan Adebayo-Smith who had a shot hit the post late in the second half, Henderson got a goal back when a moment of genius from the winger saw him drift inside and hit a curling shot on his right foot. Fylde back in with a chance and York with all hands to the pump to steer to a victory. It was not to be for Fylde and a massive opportunity missed in this big game for The Coasters.
DF: The current run of form is disappointing and something we never expected at this stage. I sat down with my players this week and we had an open discussion to get to the bottom of any issues. The players are prepared for the run-in and it's my job to get them performing at their best and keeping their heads up. They know it is make or break. We have to treat every game from now like a cup final.

FYLDE GRAB THE POINT
One of Fylde's weaknesses is the amount of goals they concede from set-pieces and Sims grabbed an early header to put Dover in front. Despite the goal, it was a much better performance from Fylde. Ferguson started with a three man midfield, Croasdale playing as the anchor man and Martin Withers led the line. Danny Smith beat his man to have his first shot saved by the keeper but acrobatically scored the rebound. Great finish from the diminutive winger. Danny Smith pumped the ball through for second half sub O'Neill to chase down and get a shot away but Walker managed to get down and palm the ball out for a corner. Fylde chased the winner, O'Neill again going agonsingly close with a header that skimmed the top of the bar. Alex Hunt received a second yellow and his marching order when he pulled down Mick Wisdom in the centre of the park, Fylde not able to grab the winner in the remaining minutes of the game. A point apiece.
LEAGUE TABLE
York City now seven points clear and with Fylde only taking two points from their last four games see them slip down the table into dangerous territory in seventh place. They cannot afford to lose another game in their final six if they are to make the play-offs. If they drop out of the play-off places it will be a disappointing collapse and could see Ferguson lose his position as manager. A resurgence is required and if anyone is going to get the players performing, it is Duncan Ferguson.

It's all going tits up again innit the gang of knobheads absolutely sick of it every fkin season they do this to us.
Honestly what's the point anymore just end this club and let us get back to having our weekends carefree and without all the pain and anguish and money I've pissed away buying me 11 kids all the kits, season tickets, away days, pre season and what have we got to show for it??? Fkin nothing that's what.
Ferguson needs to go, they need to go balls deep and drag Neil Warnock out of retirement. We need a man, a man's man, a man who knows how a man thinks and talks, the type of man you look at and you say "I got your back man" a man you'd fight alongside, a man you'd die for, a man who can one day wear a cardigan and the next a turtle neck jumper and still look like a grade A Top Cat Top Man. This fella has seen them all, he's managed massive stars like Clinton Morrison, he's managed drivel like that Niasse fella from Everton, he knows how to not only get results but proper performances.
GET HIM IN NOW!!!!

Down to 3 followers now mate after I accidentally ‘tweeted’ a video of the gloryhole world championship from my wrong account. My other account has 1.1 million followers but I don’t think they’re interested in lower league footy.

FYLDE HELD BY EASTLEIGH
22nd place Eastleigh made the trip to Lancashire and held their nerve for an onslaught. Fylde broke the deadlock eventually when Ryan Reynolds rolled the ball into the path of McGavin who hit one along the turf and into the back of the net. Eastleight equalised when Okoroji was caught out of position and Rudoni was free to drive the ball low into the bottom corner. Richie Ginnelly was adamant not to see his side falter again and drove forward on many occasions having shots when the goal opened up but the keeper showed good hands to keep it out. Shots were coming from all angles late on, Okoroji saw one go wide, Feeney had a header go inches wide and it was Eastleigh who escaped with a point.
LEAGUE TABLE
After dropping points, Fylde are now in 9th place. A drop right out of the play-off places and a serious fight on their hands to salvage the season. It is rumoured Duncan Ferguson had talks with David Haythornthwaite after the Eastleigh match and we are led to believe the chairman is furious with Ferguson.
Should Duncan Ferguson keep his job? Ferguson has a 49% win ratio in his second stint as manager and 46% in his first. What direction should Fylde go in? The last time Ferguson was dismissed at Mill Farm, the club was led down the National League table by Joey Barton and it was Ferguson who made them promotion contenders again. There are many questions but maybe sacking Ferguson is not the correct answer.

It was a performance Fylde fans have been waiting for and a monumentous one for Tyrone O'Neill to get back to scoring ways. Okoroji found the striker in the box with a low cross, O'Neill got the ball under control and put it into the bottom corner, the striker overjoyed with his goal and was straight over to the travelling support. Fylde kept the heat on struggling Bromley and put in a vintage performance, Wright-Phillips replaced Danny Smith in the second half and got on the scoresheet with a well-timed volley. Euan Henderson wrapped it up, the league's top goalscorer had his first shot hit the post, Bromley defender Phillips failed to clear his lines and Henderson managed another go at it and put it in the far corner. Ferguson delighted with his players and the instruction to see the game out and keep the ball was well deployed by the team.
Tranmere beat Maidstone to put them firmly in the chase for a play-off place, Wrexham and Blackpool shared the spoils and York secured a point against Sutton United.
