There's not going to be any happy endings going on after this change of personnel.
 
AFC Fylde vs Wrexham
Checkatrade Trophy
7th November 2028



Fylde's hopes of staying in this tournament hangs by a thread. Fylde need to beat Wrexham and Salford need to lose to Liverpool U23's for Fylde to progress. Danny Smith tried to cross from the right after 17 seconds and won his side an early corner. Billy Price got a rare start in the middle and drifted the corner in but the ball was cleared away. Liverpool took the lead against Salford after 16 minutes but Fylde still needed to find the opener. Wrexham were battling hard but Fylde were doing a good enough job of keeping them out. It was worrying for Fylde going forward as there was a lack of creativity. Ferguson decided to bring on Henderson and Bythway replacing Allaway and Danny Smith to take the game to their opponents. With twenty minutes to go, Liverpool were beating Salford by three goals to one. Salford pulled a goal back with ten minutes to go and Fylde had to act fast if they wanted to stay in the competition. Henderson passed it to Scott who played it out to right for Stockbridge, crossed into the box, Henderson got the shot off but it was saved at the post, Sargent followed it in but was tackled with a last ditch attempt. Fylde with a resulting corner, Wisdom crossed but Alan O'Neill missed the header and Sargent chased it down, keeping the ball alive. The striker was fouled and Scott went over to take the free-kick. Scott crossed in and Alan O'Neill controlled the ball but was dispossessed and cleared away to safety. Time was running out for Fylde and there was a minute left to play, Henderson played it to Scott and he moved it to Wisdom. Wisdom pumped the ball into the area and Henderson flicked it on but the keeper gathered the ball. The keeper took the goal kick and Stockbridge won the header, Bytheway advanced with the ball, found Wisdom who tried to play it back but he put it out of play. Seconds left to play and Edge came forward for Wrexham, he played it to Stephen Walker who turned Stockbridge and launched a curling shot from 20 yards out into the top right corner! What a strike! Wrexham steal the game with possibly the last kick of the match! Fylde are out of the Checkatrade Trophy with an abysmal performance.

DF: I gave a few players a chance to impress me and they never took their chance. Did they put in the effort? Not at all and it was very disappointing.

FINAL GROUP STANDINGS

With Fylde disappointing in this season's Checkatrade Trophy, it looks evident the squad lacks the required depth and the second string players in the squad seem unable to step up when required. Ferguson has stated he would like to strengthen the squad further getting rid of the players who he deems surplus to requirements and bringing in better quality replacements.
Disgusting performance. Big Duncan dropping the players right in it whilst crying about his squad quality. You bought them in you big whinger.

Sod off and manage Aberdeen already.
