Fleetwood Town maintained their unbeaten start to the season with a 1-1 draw against Oldham Athletic on Tuesday, while also adding Brighton midfielder Josh Robertson on a six-month loan. The Cods currently sit 12th in League Two with six points from four games, three points behind leaders Bristol Rovers.
How did Fleetwood Town draw with Oldham?
A late Ronan Coughlan goal earned Fleetwood Town a point at Highbury Stadium, according to the club's official match report. Oldham's Kane Drummond had given the visitors the lead just before half-time, finishing from a Calum Kavanagh pass. The Cods pressed hard after the break and were rewarded in the 88th minute. Shaun Rooney set up substitute Coughlan inside the six-yard box, and he converted to secure the draw. This result extends Fleetwood's unbeaten run across all competitions this season.
Why did Josh Robertson choose Fleetwood Town?
Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Josh Robertson says Fleetwood Town is the "perfect place" for his first senior loan move. The 20-year-old, who joined on deadline day, told the club's website that conversations with Head Coach Matt Lawlor convinced him. "Speaking to the manager, I think this is the perfect place for me," Robertson said. "It was the way the gaffer spoke to me and said how much of an impact I can have on the team." The left-footed player, who can operate in several midfield roles, believes his development at Sunderland and Brighton has prepared him for League Two football.
