A Look At Fleetwood U23s
Managed by former professional footballer Stephen Crainey Fleetwood just missed out on the Central League title last season.
They defeated AFC Blackpool 2-0 in their opening friendly earlier on in July.
Crainey has been at the helm since 2019 and has seen several players progress through to The Cod Army’s first team.
A Look At The Lions
It has been a positive pre-season for Danny Ellis and Danny Forrest’s men with wins over Bury AFC, York City, Darlington and Bradford (Park Avenue) before the final friendly.
The new management duo will be looking to finalise their squad going into the final week of pre-season following the arrival of two new trialists who netted against BPA at Horsfall on Saturday to complete the comeback.
Spencer Harris and Charlie Wood made their debuts at Horsfall and will be hoping for more minutes on Saturday.
