Come to think of it, I think that is the first mention of coffee on this thread.

What was that gibberish I wrote - obviously still a bit "off-colour" after celebrating the glorious boys stuffing all-comers at the moment
Should have been - Look we can't help it of we Coasters are beautiful people.

Chesterfield vs AFC Fylde
5th November 2028
F.A. Cup First Round
Fylde were in great form in League One and were up against a tough away match at Chesterfield. The teams drew 0-0 back in August and Chesterfield have since dropped to 7th in the table. Josh Ferguson was able to play wearing a headguard after suffering a jaw injury and Brett McGavin was definitely ruled out after slipping a disc sustained in the club gym. Fylde fielded a strong team despite having a must-win game in two days against Wrexham in the Checkatrade Trophy. Fylde were called straight into action as Chesterfield attacked the goalmouth and Fylde threw themselves in front of the ball to stop themselves going down a goal early on. Seven minutes in and Foster made a fantastic save to deny Chesterfield from close range. Chesterfield took the lead on 3 minutes when Ben Battersby took the ball skillfully away from Smith and Feeney and drilled it past Foster. Henderson cut inside nicely two minutes later and played the ball through for Sargent but the keeper turned it behind. Chesterfield deservedly lead at half-time and Fylde will need to produce something magical to turn this around. Ferguson changed to a midfield three with Sargent coming off and Ryan Scott slotting in the hole. O'Neill went up top. A defensively minded formation from the manager but can it work? Wisdom picked up the loose ball inside his half and played to Henderson who lobbed it forward for O'Neill to chase down the left side, O'Neill tried to square it but the defence cleared, Wisdom received it on the edge of the box and blasted it into the roof of the net! 1-1! Bytheway was quiet in the first half but he got the ball and ran down the right, Mel Pope sprinted into the box and got the ball into feet and was about to pull the trigger but was dispossessed for a corner. The Coasters fans behind the goal were ferocious. Wisdom crossed but the corner came to nothing. The midfield were working hard and it was a fast start to the second half. Pope won the ball with a great tackle on 49 minutes and got it to Bytheway, he lobbed it forward for O'Neill and he bombed forward and blasted into the top corner! Fylde have turned it around! 65 minutes gone and Chesterfield have gone more attacking, Pope played a nice one-two with Bytheway and Pope unleashed a low drive from 20 yards out which rolled past the keeper and into the net! Chesterfield almost pulled one back when their free-kick bounced off the cross bar, Foster stranded to the spot. Bytheway dribbled forward with ten minutes to go and won his side a free-kick about 35 yards out, Bytheway jumped to his feet and squared up to John Tavernier with tempers boiling over, Bytheway is already on a booking. Fylde were winning free-kicks in dangerous positions, this time from 25 yards out, Wisdom took the shot and the keeper got his fingers to it, Ryan Scott followed it in and made it four! What an emphatic second half! Cody Aquart done well to get down the right and beat the challenge from Garrett, he crossed into the box low for Eneramo and he belted it past Foster in the 92nd minute, surely too later now for Chesterfield? Fylde ran down the clock and the whistle blew recording a fantastic comeback for The Coasters! What a result and into the hat they go for the second round!
BBC: Duncan, first half you couldn't lay a glove on your opponents but that second half performance was incredible, you seemingly looked to go defensive and pulled off the unthinkable?
DF: It came down to digging deep and working harder than usual, Chesterfield were allowed too much space in front of our goal so I put Ryan Scott there to soak up any pressure and it allowed us to play effective counter attacking football. We defended brilliantly as well and kept our heads. I'm proud of everyone with that performance.
BBC: You are the most talked about manager in football at the moment. What you have achieved with Fylde has been nothing short of incredible and you are still going further. There was speculation Aberdeen was taking a keen interest in you in the SPL.
DF: I'm just doing my job and people said I was mad for leaving Bolton in the Championship to go back to the National League for a second spell with Fylde, I have never regretted that decision. I'm flattered by the interest shown in me but that's as far as it goes.

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.
