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

O'NEILL CONTRACTS TALK STALL

Alan O'Neill is a major cog in the wheel at Fylde and his agent Joel Carr let it slip to reporters that Fylde could not meet his clients wage demands on his new contract. Alan O'Neill is reported to be taking £9.5k a week currently making him one of the highest paid players at the club. "There is a lot of interest from clubs in The Championship for my player and Alan wants to play at the highest level possible." Carr stated. Duncan Ferguson is reluctant to let his star player leave the club with his contract due to expire in the summer but could also mean Fylde missing out on a big fee which owner Kevin Ward would want to capitalise on.
Joel Carr licks windows. At reasonable prices also
 

Luton Town vs AFC Fylde
21st December 2030


=Luton result.webp

Luton were relegated from The Championship but found themselves in 21st place in League One in a real struggle for form. Yan Dhanda was impressive for Luton down the wing but Fylde dealt with his aerial balls successfully. 35 minutes gone when John Jones curled the free-kick over the wall with his left foot and scored his second goal of the season! What a goal! The keeper had no chance. Mick Wisdom won the ball back in the centre on 60 minutes and played it to Henderson, but he had to go back to Foster. Henderson got the ball back and immediately passed it wide to Bytheway, Bytheway put it on a plate for Tyrone O'Neill but he headed over the bar. He should have buried it. Mick Wisdom was clutching his knee and couldn't carry on any further. He was substituted on 68 minutes for Daniel Embid. It wasn't much of a spectacle but it was job done for Fylde and they leave Luton with all three points.

Plymouth Argyle vs AFC Fylde
26th December 2030


=Plymouth result.webp

This season's boxing day fixture took Fylde to the South Coast for a tough match against relegation battling Plymouth Argyle. Jordan Wilson was suspended for this one so in came Daniel Embid alongside Mick Wisdom. Fylde looked nervy at the back and gave away a free-kick which Plymouth struck the post with. Neves was dispossessed outwide by Bytheway and the winger sped forward. He went on an amazing run and played the ball into the feet of Embid whose shot hit the side netting on 20 minutes. Four minutes later, Jones played it to Wisdom who played it back, Jones crossed low into the box and found Bytheway who struck it with venom into the back of the net! The ball was won back in defence and Stockbridge got it to Bytheway, he ran forward again directly at the Plymouth defence who could not handle his pace, he played in Tyrone O'Neill and he blasted the ball home! What a half so far for Fylde. Fylde were doing brilliantly on the counter attack through Bytheway, Henderson and Wisdom all running direct and creating opportunities. Gareth Hanley came on as a second half substitute and was sent off just after 90 minute for a second yellow card. A poor outing for Plymouth and a great away win for Fylde.

DF: We were solid, Foster had little to do and the transition from defence to attack was brilliant. Hopefully we can keep this level of performance going. Vinny Bytheway was at his best out there, that's exactly what we want to see from him.

AFC Fylde vs Sunderland
29th December 2030


=Sunderland result.webp

Sunderland were in mid-table going into this match and not living up to expectations under manager Johnnie Jackson. Ferguson decided to play Chim Okoroji and Declan Marshall in this match, probably due to the congested fixtures. 45 seconds into the match and Gritt passed to Carter and he unleashed a right foted shot that flew into the bottom corner, no keeper was stopping that drive. Sunderland with the lead straight from the off. 22 minutes later Wisdom played in the free-kick into the box which the defence couldn't deal with, Alan O'Neill let it fall on his left foot and he struck it in to level! Great finish! The home crowd applaud O'Neill who they want to sign a new contract with the club. Fylde picking up the tempo, Bytheway passed it forward to Tyrone O'Neill and he used his skill to get past Bradbury but he stuck out his knee and brought down Tyrone O'Neill who was through on goal, the referee showed the red card and Bradbury was off. Okoroji took the throw but it was headed back to him, he played it inside to Embid who had Bytheway in acres of space, Embid went for goal himself and put the shot wide. Bytheway was livid with Emid who was in a great goalscoring position. Fylde needed to find that second goal, Wisdom was applauded as he ran over to take the corner on 62 minutes. His cross was cleared ut nodded back in by Embid, Alan O'Neill tried the shot and Henderson got a touch on the way through that took it away from the keeper! 2-1! "ooh ahh Euan Henderson" rang out around Mill Farm as Fylde looked to make it five out of five in all competitions. Pirone was on for Bytheway and made an instant impact when we won the ball back from the left back and crossed in for Henderson who headed into the hands of the keeper. Its all three points for Fylde as they keep the pressure on the top two teams above them.

AFC Fylde vs Ipswich Town
1st January 2031


=ipswich result.webp

The New year's day fixture was a visit from The Tractor Boys at Mill Farm. Fylde are 6 points behind the league leaders and will be looking to narrow that gap. Ex Fylde defender Ryan Reynolds was up against Euan Henderson today who was in great form. Reynolds won the header from Bytheway's cross and managed to clear the ball from danger. Reynolds was doing a good job keeping Henderson quiet. Ipswich looked for the opening keping the ball away from Fylde, Morton headed the long ball forward but it went to McAuley and he found Oatway in the box who scored past Foster. It wasn't the best showing from Fylde in the first half but they ran out to a thunderous reception in the second half and they camer forward straight from the kick-off winning the corner. Mick Wisdom went over to take it, O'Neill chases the ball down and is fouled just outside the area. Fylde gained an advantage in the last 30 minutes when Lallana fouled Wilson and received his second yellow card. Fylde with the chance to capitalise. Fylde were pushing for the equaliser and won the corner when second half substitute Josh Maja saw his shot deflected wide. Wisdom took the corner and Maja won the header but Michel tried to clear for Ipswich and he put it in his own net! 1-1! Josh Ferguson found himself some space on the edge of the box and hit the shot but the keeper done well to turn it around the post. Wisdom took the corner and it was cleared, Wilson played it back to Wisdom and his second cross was cleared. Wisdom picked it back up and played it short to Ferguson, he hit the shot on his left foot and it went in! 2-1! What a comeback! Mill Farm erupted! It's a win for Fylde and they keep on the trail of Oldham and Preston.

DF: We got a bit of luck with the sending off and I think we need to perform better. It six straight wins and I couldn't be happier, the league is a tough one this season but Oldham and Preston both drew today so we close the gap to four points. We've got Bristol City next in the F.A. Cup and it would be nice to keep our run going.

I hope so mate. Things ain’t the same these days since we got all big time. I got a telling off from a steward for lobbing a severed pigs head at Alan O’Neil. People gone soft. Wasn’t even a game on when I did it. He was dropping his kids off at the local primary school,

From that message mate I can tell you numerous things

That wasn't a steward, that was Stuart and he's a simple soul who has to be given a fluorescent vest so he looks important. A bit like Dufus on scary movie he likes to sniff his own finger.

They aren't O'neills kids as we know he basically is the cause of Allaways poor form and move out of the club. They're Allaways kids but Oneill forces them to call him daddy!

The primary school is owned by O'Neills dad and he's spent the school budget on some French teacher who is a one legged prostitute who Jack ( from the Titanic ) used to draw pictures of on the Titanic. Rose is 120 years old and she's the lollipop lady outside the school
 
TRANSFER NEWS

On the eve of the F.A. Cup Third Round match against Bristol City, news has emerged AFC Fylde owner Kevin Ward has accepted an offer from Championship club Barnsley for midfielder Mick Wisdom. The news has come as a devastating blow to the supporters of the football club and manager Duncan Ferguson who built a team around Mick Wisdom since the player had been at the club since he was 17 years old signing from Manchester United. Mick Wisdom has not accepted a contract from Barnsley but we know an offer has been accepted. Duncan Ferguson was approached by reporters leaving the training ground this morning and declined to make any comment at this time.
 

Big Micky Wisdom goes and Ward gets it.
If he does go I wonder will he be willing to go on that Lonely Fans app thing? The one for footballers to allow former fans to still follow their career through the medium of picture and video.
Personally I never thought it would work but then your man Thiago went to Tranmere and Liverpool fans made it cause they still wanted to follow the best midfielder in the world, now every player is on it
