DEARNLEY RUNS RIOT
Ferguson was looking for his eighth win out of ten games upon Fylde's visit to Nottingham to play Notts County. County were hot on the march for promotion back to League Two and judging how this game went, they left no stone unturned. A rather poor display from the lads from the Lancashire coast and a stand-out performance from winger Zak Dearnley left Fylde reeling. Notts County were the better team throughout the 90 minutes and took all three goals very well. Dearnley's first goal of the day could have been stopped as Lamptey allowed him to cut inside and a swerving shot took it away from Griffiths who made a half hearted save at the far post. Brett McGavin saw his shot glance wide upon the half-time whistle, could have been a wonderful time for Fylde to equalise in this one-sided contest. Dearnley was involved in the second goal as he laid the ball across for Freeman to hit first time, unmarked in the box and no challenge from a Fylde player. A County counter attack led to the third goal, Griffiths saving the one on one with Freeman but Dearnley scored from the resulting corner to send Fylde home with some food for thought.
DF: It wasn't how we wanted to play out there and it was men against boys. We were last to every ball and had nothing today. They say a loss has to come sometime so thinking positively, to lose here against a quality side is not too disheartening, it's just the manner of our performance that leaves a bitter taste. We've been in magnificent form lately and something like this is usually the result of over confidence. We thought we only had to show up, it'll be a lesson learnt for these lads.

Big Dunc’s post match interviews could have been written by Keats. Beautiful yet powerful use of language. Bet he gets the lasses weak at the knees in the local Wetherspoons on a Tues afternoon.

Get big Sam in. Crisis club. Danny Rowe is a huge miss.

FYLDE TAKE IT OUT ON MACCLESFIELD
Three days later and a respone was issued. Fylde were back and proved they are not quite out. Danny Smith replaced Wright-Phillips on the right wing and put in one of his best performances for The Coasters. Henderson dribbled down the left wing beating three Macclesfield players cut in on his right foot and buried it into the top right corner to give Fylde the advantage. Mitchell-Lawson scored a low drive into the bottom right corner with Fylde backing off the winger, poor defending from Fylde and a poor time to concede. Fylde fought on and a few minutes later Henderson grabbed his second of the match, Danny Smith showed some excellent close control and put a ball in the box for Henderson to place through the keepers legs and restore Fylde's lead at the end of the half. Danny Smith got his well deserved goal just after the break, Hammond's first shot was saved by the keeper and it fell to O'Neill, a second shot stopped from the keeper but this time the ball falling to Smith, who took a touch and had a shot blocked, picked up the rebound and placed it into the net after Henry had already committed himself. The three points beginning to look like Fylde's. Danny Smith was on form tonight as he grabbed his second of the game, Richie Ginnelly had his header saved by Henry but it fell to Smith who placed it home to make it 4-1. Henderson almost grabbed a hat-trick but his shot drifted wide of the post on 83 minutes. A complete show of dominance from Fylde on this wet Tuesday night. Ginnelly sealed the win with a long range shot that flew through the keepers open hands, a very poor display from Macclesfield and a much needed win for Fylde.
