Fleetwood Town put in a final high-intensity training session at Poolfoot Farm on Thursday, sharpening their focus ahead of Saturday’s pre-season finale against Hartlepool United. Manager Matt Lawlor’s squad showed no signs of easing up after a positive 1-1 draw with Bolton Wanderers earlier in the week, working on intensity and fine details as the League Two season opener approaches. Next fixture: vs Tranmere (away, 2027-02-27) (11th in the table).
What happened in training?
The session was all about maintaining momentum after the midweek draw. Players worked through drills designed to build match sharpness, with a strong emphasis on quick transitions and defensive organization. The media team captured the hard work, showing the squad’s determination to end pre-season on a high.
Why this session matters
With just one friendly left before the competitive season begins, this training session was crucial for ironing out any final wrinkles. Lawlor’s side will be looking to carry this intensity into the Hartlepool match, where they’ll aim to build on the progress shown against Championship opposition.
What comes next?
The focus now shifts to Saturday’s trip to Hartlepool, where Fleetwood Town will look to cap off a productive pre-season. After that, attention turns to the League Two campaign, with the first match against Tranmere Rovers on the horizon. The team’s preparation suggests they’re ready to hit the ground running.
