Fleetwood Town's Head Coach, Matt Lawlor, was left frustrated after his team's goalless draw with Gillingham at Highbury on Saturday. The draw leaves Fleetwood Town with 4 points from their opening 2 Sky Bet League Two fixtures, and a +1 goal difference, having scored 1 goal and conceded 0.
What happened?
The match saw both sides strike the woodwork, with Ronan Hale denied for the visitors before Lewis McCann's header hit the post as Town pushed for a late winner.
Why it matters for Fleetwood Town
Lawlor felt his side improved considerably after the interval and created enough opportunities to win the game. The team's unbeaten home run now stands at 9 matches, with just one defeat suffered in their last 10 fixtures at Highbury.
What comes next?
Fleetwood Town will look to build on their positive start to the season, which has seen them sit 10th in League Two, as they prepare to face Tranmere away on February 27, 2027. Lawlor wants his team to continue making home advantage count, while producing the aggressive and entertaining football that was on display during the second half against the Gills. The team's next fixture is a Carabao Cup tie against Shrewsbury Town at Highbury on Tuesday, with Lawlor determined to guide the Cod Army into the next round. As of August 23, 2026, Fleetwood Town has 3 points from 1 game, with a recent form of W, and will look to extend their unbeaten start to the season.
