Fleetwood haven’t lost at home in the league yet but those records are there to be broken.
I remember the first spell I had here at Gillingham. We hadn’t won away for a season and a bit but we went to Oxford, who had a good home record and beat them.
Hopefully, we can do that again this week.
Last Saturday was a little frustrating after drawing 1-1 with Crawley. We didn’t start well and up until they scored, we weren’t at the races.
The manager changed the shape at half-time and that helped us because they had their midfielder dropping in and getting a lot of time on the ball. We managed to rectify that in the second half and could have gone on and won.
All credit to Leon for his goal, it was a great header.
They were zonal marking, which we were a little surprised by. We agreed to give ourselves a little bit more space to get a good run on them and that’s what Legge did. He couldn’t have finished it any better.
We were a little disappointed not to get all three points but one is better than none.
We are getting to the stage now, though, where we can’t keep saying we’ve been unlucky and we will do this and that. It is getting to the serious stage now.
