Former Everton Centre Forward Duncan Ferguson steps into management.....

[Yarrgh]

Some shrewd signings once again.

Just renewed my ST at Fylde. Excited for the season ahead

Those signings have brought me right back round after the disappointment last season. I've signed back on for another challenge.

A lot of young talent coming in. If they can get to grafting it out down the divisions straight away, I think we might see something special starting now. A few of them with a couple of seasons experience could easily be championship standard - I hope that they grasp their chance under Big Dunc and the mighty mighty Coasters,

THE PRE-SEASON PREPARATION IS OVER....



Duncan Ferguson has brought in his last player of the window in Ryan East. The midfielder's parent club is Reading however he spent the last season playing for Sutton United in the Vanarama National League making 30 appearances.


Ryan East attributes (out of 20)

Midfielder Sam Evans has been released by the club. He made minimal appearances under manager Duncan Ferguson and was surplus to requirements. Evans grew discontent at the club and wanted to feature in more first team matches but did not do enough to prove himself on the training ground or on the pitch when given the opportunity. Sam Evans is now a free agent.

FRIENDLY RESULTS 2020/21



Fylde picked up big results against AFC Mansfield, Airbus UK and AFC Liverpool. Rochdale were beating Fylde 1-0 until attacking midfielder Quentin Perreira scored a spectacular effort from outside the box. The attacking midfielder impressed during pre-season and Ferguson has mentioned he will play a bigger role in the forthcoming season. FC United surprised fans of both sides as they scored twice past Fylde in their final friendly game with no reply from The Coasters.

DF: We are fully prepared for the season. We have worked on various tactics and approached training in a different manner this summer. Jon (Parkin) has implemented his own methods and has a different approach to training from what the lads were used to with Colin. Our attacking intent has been good so far and it has given the new lads a chance to get to know their new team mates and build some confidence. I would say we are quietly confident going down to Dover this weekend. Last time we played them they beat us 2-0 and we found ourselves in a bad run of form. It's time for us to eradicate that from our mind, start the new season with a win and utilise all the hard work we have put in so far.

UPCOMING FIXTURES



Fylde have a difficult opening to the new campaign playing the two sides who were relegated, Grimsby and Notts County within three days of each other. There is also a tough game against Tranmere Rovers straight after which could shape the start of the season.

FIRST TEAM PREVIEW 2020-21



Russell Griffiths remains Fylde's first choice keeper with Harry Wright as his number 2.



Denver Hume continues his third season on loan from Sunderland and has certainly made the position his own. Franis-Angol is a more experienced left back and comes in for squad rotation.



With four central defenders in the first team there is depth to cover injuries and suspensions. Cameron Humphreys is a very talented centre back still at the tender age of 21. Tom Brewitt has been an established defender at Fylde for three seasons.



Luke Burke has had two fantastic seasons at right back and is capable of bombing down that right hand side providing an attacking threat. Sam Gibson has also been useful in that position and can have a bright future at Fylde.



With plenty of options in central midfield, there is enough quality amongst East, Paton, Bond and club captain Ryan Croasdale. Lewis Montrose still provides an option but has been used sparingly over the last two seasons.



Nominated for player of the season 2019-20, Joe Cardle returns from injury looking to pick up where he left off. Stephen Dooley comes in from Rochdale and adds competition for the position. Ashley Hemmings usually provides cover for the position as back up and has been effective when required.



Danny Philliskirk has been Fylde's first choice attacking midfielder playing behind the striker but now faces competition from youngster Max Haygarth. Quentin Perreira is keen to impress when given the opportunity and Serhat Tasdemir has transitioned from Fylde U23's.



On the right wing James Hardy still remains first choice but faces competition from the son of Shaun Wright-Phillips, D'Margio. The young winger is determined to kick start his professional career and put in some impressive performances. Victor Maffeo waits in the wings however makes occasional appearances. A loan move could be a good option this season.



Danny Rowe remains first choice centre forward and aims to continue his goal scoring form into the new season. Kyle McFarlane has expressed his determination to get his head down and work hard for the shirt and youngster Ellis Simms is also making strides. A loan move would be beneficial this season. ​

There's balance, decent cover in every position and the odd maverick in the likes of D'Margio. Dunc has all he could ask for to win promotion.

We are Coasters aren't we?

Up the Fylde army!!!

@The Penalty Box Dancer can you give us an update at halftime on the first match so I can boo or cheer the team off accordingly.
If I’m still unhappy with dunc’s Progress should I send this shoebox full of feaces to your address or his address?

FYLDE GET OFF TO A REASONABLE START



What many considered a tough start, Fylde reamin unbeaten in the National League after 6 games. The season kicked of with an away trip to Dover. Stephen Dooley gave Fylde the lead after 21 minutes but in what was a close game, Dover got their equaliser in the 62nd minute after Holden whipped in from a corner and Jamie Allen scored with a free header.

Fylde were up against it in their first home game against relegated Notts County, Fylde went 1-0 down after 12 minutes but Duncan Ferguson got his side playing with more attacking flair and it they scored three goals in seven minutes with James Hardy and Danny Rowe getting two. The pick of the goals was when Luke Burke hit a long ball forward from the half way line and Danny Rowe caught it on the volley scoring one of the best goals seen at Mill Park.


Danny Rowe volley putting Fylde 3-1 up.

Grimsby Town salvaged a draw against Fylde in the 89th minute clawing it back to 2-2. Kyle McFarlane and Paul Paton both got on the scoresheet for Fylde and were unfortunate not to hang on to the points. Grimsby put Fylde under pressure and eventually got the equaliser.

Fylde hosted Tranmere Rovers in their next encounter and many fans were scratching their head wondering why they hadn't won the game. Danny Rowe and Ellis Simms were unable to break down the Rovers defence and Tranmere were fortunate to escape this one with a point.

Ferguson rotated the side for the visit of Harrogate bearing in mind there was a visit to Halifax two days later. Denver Hume and Morgan Feeney looked solid at the back whllst Kyle McFarlane struggled to make an impact in front of goal. Fylde showed good attacking intent but once again came up against a brick wall of a defence in Harrogate.

Two days later Fylde travelled to Halifax. Ryan East opened the scoring on 6 minutes. Danny Philliskirk's shot rebounded off the post and Ryan East followed in burying the ball into the net. Stephen Dooley supplied the cross for the second and Danny Rowe was first to react after the defendee failed to get it under control. The game finished 2-0 and was a comfortable victory for The Coasters.

FYLDE'S OFF PITCH PROBLEMS INTENSIFY

It should come as no surprise for close observers of Fylde that the club has problems off the field. After an alleged 'demonic possession' cast a dark cloud on Former Everton Centre Forward Duncan Ferguson's early days at the club, the problems have only intensified.

Following disappointment by disappointment on the pitch, a number of Fylde fans have united under the name COASTERS UNDERTAKING NAUGHTY TRIPS and have been creating havoc at games. Above shows drone footage from the season opener where a number of the fans created scenes reminescent of the 80's at Dover. Smashing into the Dover end the COASTERS UNDERTAKING NAUGHTY TRIPS severely beat several police officers and Dover fans. The COASTERS UNDERTAKING NAUGHTY TRIPS then went to the dock and shouted Pro Brexit remarks at foreign lorries.

The self styled leader of COASTERS UNDERTAKING NAUGHTY TRIPS, Mr P Nesshead, remarked 'Fylde Fans have had to endure some terrible football under Former Everton Centre Forward Duncan Ferguson and it's got to some of us. Until they listen to us things will get worse, these lads are angry and we saw at Dover what we can do. Brexit means Brexit and now we want FECFDFexit to mean FECFDFEXIT to mean the same.'

I always liked Dunc, but I’m not sure he’s improving our strikers.....

Look at that finish by Danny Rowe. No defender within 10 yards, loads of time and space to take it down, compose himself, give the keeper the eyes...... Nah I'll just blammo it into the top bin with a first time volley.
