ROSLER Welcome to Highbury for today’s Sky Bet League One fixture against Scunthorpe United

G

ood afternoon and welcome to Highbury for today’s Sky Bet League One fixture against Scunthorpe United.

It’s good to be back at Highbury after last weekend’s long trip to Gillingham. Over periods we had a solid performance throughout the game, but in the end we got defeated by an own goal and a penalty in injury time. There are lessons to be learnt from the last two games – we need to see out results by doing the right things throughout the whole 95 minutes and learning to reward ourselves with important points.

Since our last home match, we have welcomed Kevin O’Connor into our squad. Kevin had a solid debut last week at Gillingham, and I’m sure you’ll give him a warm welcome today. He comes in as a replacement for Amari’i Bell, who has left the club and joined Blackburn Rovers last week. Amari’i was ever present for us in my time here – in training and in games – and I enjoyed working with

him and seeing him develop into a player who attracted a lot of interest.

Unfortunately, he had not signed a new contract with us, but I’d like to wish him and his family all the best for the future, and that his dreams come true.

Now to today’s opponents, Scunthorpe United. They are a top club over the last two years in our league, and like us they missed out in the playoffs last season. They are very ambitions in their recruitment and they are again fighting at the top of our league to win promotion. It will be an interesting game, like it was last year at home where we drew 2-2, where both sides were very attacking, and showed a willingness to win the game.

We have dedicated today’s fixture to supporting the work of Kick It Out and its ambition to #CallFullTimeOnHate in football. For over 20 years, Kick It Out has played a vital role in ensuring that everyone, regardless of background is welcome in our game.

Their message of equality is

extremely important to us at Fleetwood Town and this is why we’re supporting Kick It Out’s stance against hate and encouraging all supporters to download their free app to eradicate all forms of discrimination from the game. ​I’d finally like to welcome Graham Alexander - who had a successful past with our football club, and now is doing a very good job at Scunthorpe - his staff and players, as well as their supporters and directors to Highbury and wish them a safe journey home.

Enjoy the game,

PAD D Y MADDEN F EATU R E

PADDY M ADDEN F EAT U RE

PADDY MADDEN

IN FINE FORM WORDS: DAVID MITCHELL PICS: STEFAN WILLOUGHBY

New signing Paddy Madden seems to exude a quiet confidence in front of goal, after scoring two in three.

Despite the alternative attractions of Gaelic Football in his native Dublin, football was always Paddy Madden’s first choice of sport.

“A lot of my friends went down the Gaelic Football route but my heart was always in football. Older brother, Chris, is my idol and he helped me to decide.

“I wanted to play football like him. I was confident that if I stayed dedicated my talent could come through professionally.”

Despite his father’s support for Arsenal, Paddy grew up as a Manchester United supporter.

“Andy Cole was my favourite player. Mam would buy me new jerseys and they would usually have his name on.

“When he left United it was the likes of Ruud van Nistlerooy. I was a massive Manchester United fan when young. My brother persuaded me and it probably helped that they were winning lots of trophies back then so I was a bit of a glory hunter!”

Paddy’s 4 || 4

football

education

started young but not always as a striker.

“I began with my local team, St Columbans, when I was four. I was classed as having a large head compared to my body size so played centre half at school because I was good at heading the ball!

“I did have a knack for scoring in the box, though, so quickly became an out and out striker.”

At the age of 18, Paddy’s career took a significant step forward when he signed for Bohemians.

“I had played for various teams as a schoolboy and scored a lot of goals.

“Pat Fenlon, the Bohemians manager, got me into the swing of full-time football and sent me out to Shelborne on loan, for experience. I hit the net a few times for them, including against Bohemians!

“It was a quiet celebration that day because I knew that I had to go back! It was supposed to be a whole season’s loan but Bohemians called me back with a few months to go. I kept

scoring for them and we won the League of Ireland Premier Division to complete a nice first year in professional football.

“I owe a lot to Pat who spotted my talent and built me up with good programmes in the gym.

“He didn’t rush me and, looking back, I’m grateful for that.”

With Bohemians needing to offload a few players Paddy moved across the Irish Sea to Carlisle in January 2011.

Injuries limited opportunities with just thirty-six appearances in two years, many from the bench. In October 2012, he began a period on loan with League One Yeovil, scoring five times in the first four games.

“Their manager, Gary Johnson, had seen me a couple of times. He played to my strengths and I know that if I’m used in the right way I can score goals. I like to stop giving defenders time on the ball. The more I run, the more I feel I’m in the game. If I’m on the move I know that a lot of defenders will struggle to keep up with me.”

Johnson was to describe Paddy as ‘the bargain of the season’ and it was to prove a prolific one with 23 goals in thirty-nine games.

“From my limited experience at Carlisle I knew that I could make my mark in the league. Had Gary not given me that chance I would probably be back playing in Ireland now.”

A memorable season culminated at Wembley with victory against Uwe Rosler’s Brentford in the League One play-off final.

A rare barren spell of six games without a goal ended on the day with one of Paddy’s finest.

“The ball dropped. I took a nice touch outside the box and hit it with the outside of my right into the top corner.

It has to be the best goal I’ve scored, so far.”

Paddy’s exploits gained full international recognition, in a friendly against Wales.

“The Ireland squad at the time was very strong and I think you had to be in the Championship to get a chance.

“Trappatoni had come to watch me and seemed pleased. I could have scored two or three in a 0-0 draw.

“It got me a call into the final squad for World Cup qualifiers against Sweden and Austria but I went into a tackle at Yeovil and injured my knee.

“I was gutted after working so hard to get into the squad.”

The twenty-seven year old admits that he can remember most of his goals ‘pretty quickly.’

There were many more to follow at his next club. After sampling nine Championship games with Yeovil,

Fleetwood Town v Scunthorpe United | 5

PADD Y MADDEN F EAT U R E

Paddy moved to Scunthorpe United, in January 2014. He scored fortyfive goals in all competitions in the following two and a half seasons.

“Mark Robins bedded me in well at Scunthorpe, on the right side of a three. He is a clever manager who encouraged me to express myself. I did well for him.

“2015-16 was the best goal scoring season for me because I was playing out of position and still scoring.

People forget that I played on the right wing for a year and a half at Scunthorpe.

“I never felt static playing for Robins.

Like the gaffer at Fleetwood he was an attacker. They know how they scored goals.”

In January 2018, Fleetwood Town provided a further opportunity to take Paddy’s career forward.

“I had not enjoyed my football as much over the last two years. I feel refreshed again and ready to go under a great manager who knows my strengths.

“Most of my career has been in League One and I’ve played against the gaffer a few times for clever, attacking teams so he knew about me.

“I don’t think a day went by when the Chairman didn’t inquire if I was still available.

“That played a big part in my decision. If someone shows that they want me I’ll jump at the chance.”

Paddy Madden knows the way to goal and two in his first three games for Fleetwood bodes well.

He exudes a quiet confidence in his ability, surely a key aspect of all successful strikers.

YOUR GUIDE TO FORTHCOMING HOME AND AWAY FIXTURES February is set to be a hectic month, with Town at home four times in the league including today’s match with Scunthorpe. Next up, high flying Shrewsbury Town (pictured right) come to Highbury, knowing that only maximum points will keep them in the hunt for an automatic promotion place. Paul Hirst’s side have surprised many this season, and just avoiding relegation last term.

Portsmouth visit the Fylde Coast the following Tuesday, in a rearranged match due to Town’s progression in the world’s oldest cup competition this season. Pompey beat Uwe Rosler’s side 4-1 at Fratton Park earlier in the season, so the Cod Army will be looking for revenge this time out. MK Dons (pictured right) are the final visitors at the end of the month, with new manager Dan Micciche taking over from Robbie Neilson last week.

Town are back in Checkatrade Trophy action this Tuesday, when they travel south to face Yeovil Town. The Glovers lost in the FA Cup last week to Manchester United, and both sides are just two wins away from a place in the showpiece final at Wembley Stadium. The winners will face Shrewsbury Town away from home.

The next away match is a trip to the Crown Oil Arena, to face Rochdale (pictured left). Keith Hill’s side have found it tough this season and are currently in the relegation places, but are strong at home, so this is another tough trip on the road. The final away match of the month is a trip to South Yorkshire to take on Doncaster Rovers (pictured left) at Keepmoat Stadium. Rovers were promoted from League Two last season, and have had a steady season under Darren Ferguson, with both sides playing out a 0-0 draw at Highbury earlier in the season.​

Graham Alexander was appointed Scunthorpe United manager back in March 2016.

Alexander’s first job as a manager was at Preston North End in 2011, after Phil Brown’s sacking.

He was appointed the Fleetwood Town manager in December 2012 when Town were 7th in League Two, and guided the club to promotion via the play-offs a year later as the Cod Army beat Burton 1-0 at Wembley.

Alexander left the club in September 2015, leaving the club and with a year out of the game, he signed a three-and-a-half-year deal with the Iron.

MANTOWATCH Today’s man to watch for Scunthorpe is their goalscoring midfielder Josh Morris.

Preston-born Morris started his career at Blackburn Rovers back in 2010, where he managed to make 20 appearances.

Rovers sent Morris on multiple loan deals away from Ewood Park, including two spells at Fleetwood Town. His first spell was at the end of the 2013-14 season, where he played 14 games, and his second spell was a seasonlong loan the next year.

Morris then went to Scunthorpe and has played in over 50 games, scoring 22 in that time.

INSIDEVIEW

Ahead of this afternoon’s match against Scunthorpe, Craig Bratt asked Scunthorpe Telegraph Sports Reporter Paul Crute for his thoughts on all things Iron related.

CB: Despite a recent dip in form, United are still well in contention for the playoffs and the automatic positions.

Where do you think they’ll finish this season?

PC: “They need to finish in the play-offs as an absolute minimum. The automatic places would be nice and represent improvement from last season’s third-place finish but Wigan and Blackburn, two of the early pre-season favourites for promotion, are looking very strong. Finishing outside the play-offs would represent a huge disappointment, especially considering the squad, but they need to get off the four game winless run they are on as quickly as possible.”

Paul Crute bench following an injury, but Scunthorpe need to be ideally two goals up to prevent an injury time goal being crucial.”

CB: Late goals have been the sucker punch in Scunthorpe’s last two games. What do they need to do to ensure it’s not an unlucky third in a row at Fleetwood?

PC: “Graham Alexander said his side showed a bit of inexperience on Saturday when they conceded an injury time goal. Rory McArdle could come back in after a spell on the

CB: How much has the squad changed in the transfer window?

PC: “Graham Alexander has at the time of writing brought in three players during January – midfielders Cameron McGeehan and Ryan Yates on loan from Barnsley and Nottingham Forest and Ivan Toney on loan from Wigan.

McGeehan played an hour against Southend before he was replaced by Yates and both looked decent while Toney has only been limited to cameo roles off the bench. From the team that played Fleetwood Jordan Clarke is missing much of the rest of the season with a hamstring injury while goalkeeper Matt Gilks has been struggling with a calf injury.

Therefore Alexander is looking for cover for goalkeeper and right back at the time of writing.”

CB: Who would you say is the star man for Scunthorpe at the moment?

Search #3SIMPLETOOLS to find out more

PC: “Recently Duane Holmes has been one of Scunthorpe’s best players as he has the pace down the wing and crosses that can cause problems. His pace and skill are his main assets but has been limited to a wing back role in recent games. If he can be used further up the pitch he can be a real menace.”

CB: What’s your prediction for the match?

PC: “It’s almost nailed on that Paddy Madden will score for Fleetwood against his former club. If he does, The Iron will need to score to win so I will go for a 2-1 Iron win!”

COMMUNIT YTRUST EFL Kids Cup 2018

On Friday 19th January at Poolfoot Farm, we hosted the 2018 EFL Kids Cup with over 240 children from Year 5-6 competing.

This year we had a record number of entries with 27 schools, 30 teams from the Wyre and Fylde battling it out to be crowned winners and go on to represent Fleetwood Town Community Trust in the regional finals against the likes of Preston, Blackpool and Blackburn to name a few.

Full Time

Despite the weather trying its upmost to ruin the day with horrendous hail, sleet and rain each and every individual that represented their school should be proud of their efforts on the day.

The eventful winners of the day were Lytham C of E who beat Shakespeare Primary School 3-0 in the final. Lytham ran out deserved winners going through the whole tournament without conceding a single goal. Lytham C of E will now have the opportunity to have a training session with one of our Fleetwood Town Community Trust coaches and will go on to represent Fleetwood in the further rounds.

Jordan Wood, Premier League Primary Stars Co-ordinator said: “We were over the moon with record amount of schools that took part in the competition. The standard was very high and the day was played in great spirit with boys and girls having lots of fun despite the hail, sleet and rain”.

Mrs Barnes, PE Co-ordinator at Thornton Primary School said: “The day was a fantastic success and the children really enjoyed themselves despite the weather”.

Kick It Out

This week’s fixture will see us host our dedicated fixture to the work of Kick It Out, football’s equality and inclusion organisation.

Since 1993, Kick It Out has worked throughout the football, educational and community sectors to challenge discrimination, encourage inclusive practices and campaign for positive change.

Throughout the 2017/18 season, Kick It Out is running an initiative “Call Full Time on Hate” which aims to utilise and engage the collective force of football to tackle discrimination and hate incidents at every level of the game. The initiative also seeks to highlight the positive messages of inclusion echoed by the football authorities, clubs, players, managers and supporters’ groups. Fleetwood Town Football Club are fully behind #CallFullTimeOnHate.

Nathan Pond and his team mates are looking forward to recognising the work of Kick It Out today: Today sees the club recognise the work of Kick It Out, football’s equality and inclusion organisation and its commitment to tackling hate through its #CallFullTimeOnHate initiative.

Pond said about the campaign: “We have dedicated today’s match to supporting the great work of Kick It Out. For over 20 years, Kick It Out has played a vital role in ensuring that everyone, regardless of background is welcome in our game.

“Their message of equality is extremely important at Fleetwood Town, and this is why we continue to support Kick It Out’s stance against hate and discrimination.”

TRANMERE ROVERS * EFL Youth Alliance Cup fixtures ** FA Youth Cup fixtures

It’s been a while since I’ve last penned an update for the programme, but things are going really well for the Development Squad.

They all impressed whilst on loan at different clubs, and have earned permanent contracts, and we look forward to seeing them impress at their new clubs.

We’ve seen six players making their debuts for the first team this season – Ashley Nadesan, Alex Reid, Harrison Biggins, Nathan Sheron, Luke Higham and Michael Donohue – mainly this has been in the Checkatrade Trophy, which has helped the team progress to the last eight of the competition.

The attitude of all the players has been superb and in our games programme we have won over 75% of our matches this season.

This is a huge step in the right direction for us. Harrison and Ashley have played in the league which is great for us, and Alex scored when he came off the bench in the cup too.

It’s clear to see that these players are developing and progressing at the club, and we hope this continues.

We’re developing a winning mentality which is key if these players are to progress to the first team, as well as learning from our defeats and striving to be better every day.

Moving forward we have an important few months coming up, which will hopefully see us have more games planned within our programme, allowing our young players to continue their development.

Sponsored by...

We’ve also seen four players leave the club permanently this January.

We’d like to wish Akil Wright, Dion Charles, Elliot Osborne and Nick Haughton all the best for the future and we’ve given them the platform for a career in football.
