GAFFER’S NOTES GAF F ER’S NO T ES

GAFFER’S NOTES SPONSORED BY

G

ood afternoon and welcome back to Highbury for today’s Sky Bet League One match against Rochdale.

I’d like to extend that welcome to Brian Barry-Murphy, his staff and players, as well as the directors and supporters who have made the journey to the Fylde Coast today.

It’s been a couple of weeks since we last played at Highbury, and it was great to continue our momentum with the win against oxford. The support we had was superb, and I believe that the brand of football we are playing means that anyone coming to watch our game can be sure they will enjoy watching us trying to play the right way.

Hopefully as we move through the season we can continue the momentum we have and we can fully get Highbury rocking.

We felt that we fully deserved the three points on the road last weekend at Southend United, but it wasn’t to be despite scoring three good goals.

However, when we take stock of our opening

2

eight fixtures, we’ve picked up 14 points which we feel is a decent return considering how much improvement there is to come in this Fleetwood Town team.

On to today’s opponents, Rochdale. I watched their game on Tuesday against Lincoln, and have been impressed with how they have gone about things this season under Brian. They have a good young squad who are trying to play football in the right manner, and this should be applauded. We know the challenges that playing Rochdale brings, but we know that if we play to our best we can take three points off any team in this division, and this is again our challenge today.

I’d like to give a quick mention to Kyle Dempsey, who made his 100th EFL appearance for the club at Southend last weekend. Kyle has shown in the last three games his outstanding qualities that he brings to our squad, and it’s great to see him back in the team and enjoying his football. Reaching 100 matches for any club is

a big milestone, so we’d like to congratulate Kyle and I’m sure I speak on behalf of everyone when I say that we hope he continue his good form Finally, I’m keen to explore ways that we can help get Highbury full and loud. The fans have been superb of late and the players have noted that. The club have recently appointed Wayne Bibby as Supporters Liaison Officer so if you feel we can help in anyway to get our stadium full and loud please speak to Wayne or myself as we are all ears to any suggestions.

Enjoy the game today!

MORRIS GJOSH AFFER’ S FEATURE NOTES

JOSHF MORRIS FEATURE GAF ER’S NO T ES

MORRIS HOPING TO BUILD

ON STRONG START WORDS: DAVID MITCHELL

Back at Highbury for a second spell, winger Josh Morris is keen to keep scoring goals for the Cod Army and fire them towards the top of League One.

S

ky Sports has provided regular entertainment on Fleetwood Town’s team coach journeys over the years.

On the recent trip to Accrington Stanley for the EFL Trophy game, the channel showed the highlights from the Play-Off final victory over Burton Albion in 2014.

Watching on was the only remaining player who took to the pitch that day, Josh Morris.

It was a foul on Josh that led to the Antoni Sarcevic free kick which, in turn, led to the crucial goal.

“Yes, a few of us were watching it. It comes on quite often, doesn’t it!

“I don’t remember much about the game but it brought back some really good memories for me.

“I had a great time at Fleetwood first time round and that day was a career highlight.

“For a young lad to come in for the last two months of the season, get to Wembley and achieve promotion was amazing!

“It was a good time in my career and it was nice to see a few familiar faces from back then on the screen, although they have spread far and wide now.

“I remember a tough semi-final against York City. There wasn’t much between us in the two legs but the main thing all along was to win and get to Wembley.

“As the manager said at the time, winning at Wembley is just the best feeling.

Matty Blair’s goal against his former team was all that separated us and York and I’ve seen him from time to time in matches against Doncaster.

“Socially, the only one I still see regularly is Pondy.

“I grew up with him and Jamie Proctor when I was really young at Preston.

“Scunthorpe got thumped at Sunderland last year so I’m looking forward to getting

44

back there for a result and meeting up with Conor McLaughlin again!”

Following Wembley, Josh spent a further year at Fleetwood, still on loan from parent club Blackburn Rovers.

“I was at an age when I just wanted to play games. Signing for Bradford City on a three-year deal in July 2015 seemed a big move forward at the time.

“It was a big club, well-supported in a huge stadium. For the first few games we were getting 18,000 to watch us because of a season ticket deal.”

A goal after four minutes on debut, in a 4-1 defeat at Swindon, augured well for the midfielder’s own aspirations but the move didn’t work out, with only thirteen EFL games and that one goal, before he moved along the M62 to Scunthorpe United and former manager at Fleetwood Town, Graham Alexander.

“Scoring four minutes into my debut for Bradford was a perfect start.

“It was from the edge of the box, leftfooted, in open play.

“Although the move didn’t work out, I won’t regret having gone to Valley Parade.

“It seemed to be right at the time but I finished in a situation which plenty of other players have been in.

“Graham Alexander had taken over at Scunthorpe, along with Chris Lucketti.

“Graham got in contact with me and, bearing in mind how well we had got on at Fleetwood, I was happy to take up his offer.

“We know what each other is about and that is a bonus for a player.

“It gives you a head start when the manager knows how he wants to use you. I really enjoyed my time there.

“I had a house in Leeds so it was the dreaded M62 constantly.

“I’ve spent a lot of time on the motorway, between Preston and Leeds as

well. If I’m driving alone I’ll have the radio on or some music and maybe stop for a cup of coffee.

“I try and beat the traffic when I’m heading over to Fleetwood and leave early doors, have some breakfast in Leeds then carry on. It would be cards or telly on the coach, maybe.

“We started on fire at Scunthorpe and were there or thereabouts all season.”

Scunthorpe qualified for the League One play-offs, in third place, and Josh finished top scorer for the club with 19 EFL goals. The total included a hat trick in September.

“We played good football and scored a lot of goals as a team.

“I was playing in a higher position than the previous few seasons.

“The hat-trick against Walsall was probably one of the stand-out moments of my career.

“It was from a penalty, a tap-in, then a left foot shot.

“Teams aim to nullify my left foot strength so you have to find different ways of trying to affect the game.”

Despite losing in the play-off semifinal to Millwall, Scunthorpe took their good form into the following season but, although they were in play-off contention again, Graham Alexander was sacked in March 2018.

“Although there had been a dip in results, it was still a surprise when the gaffer went.

“It was a strange decision but it’s the way football works at times.

“Matt Gilks was there in my second season but got injured in the play-off semifinals and spent a lot of the next season doing rehab to get back. I had also got to know Paddy Madden well, of course, prior to him coming to Fleetwood.”

"I HAD A GREAT TIME AT FLEETWOOD FIRST TIME ROUND AND THAT DAY WAS A CAREER HIGHLIGHT. FOR A YOUNG LAD TO COME IN FOR THE LAST TWO MONTHS OF THE SEASON, GET TO WEMBLEY AND ACHIEVE PROMOTION WAS AMAZING!" I suggested that Josh seems to finish on the ground a lot!

“I do seem to get fouled frequently!

“It is something that has been part and parcel of my game for years. You have to take the contact.”

In the Preston pre-season friendly at Highbury, he left the field on a stretcher after hitting the deck.

“It was a precaution. I fractured my fibula last year and missed a lot of football. !The tackle against Preston caught me on exactly the same spot. I was in a lot of pain.

“Liam, the physio, suggested that with me doing it relatively recently I should come off.

“If I’d carried on, it might have gone again.

“My quick return the following weekend, and Wes Burns’ more recently after the tackle against Accrington shows how top drawer the medical staff are at Fleetwood.

“The break was my first serious injury. In the October of last year I also had an operation on my jaw.

“I had gone up for a header and slipped a little.

The Peterborough guy’s come up with his knee and caught me.

“I was in agony instantly. It is probably the worst thing pain-wise.

“Six weeks out, came back for three games, then did the leg. The Scunthorpe physio helped

me out a lot and my family were really supportive.

“Mum and dad have always been behind me as have my older brother and sister.

“One or other parent would drop me off and pick me up at Blackburn Rovers for training on Mondays.

“Dad gets to most games, mum and my siblings when they can, the same with my girlfriend. I’ve never been pressurised by my family.

“As long as I try hard and enjoy it, that’s fine by them. That has been a brilliant grounding.”

Both Bradford and Scunthorpe are going through difficult times after recent relegations.

“I know so many staff and players well at Scunthorpe and just hope they can drag themselves out of their current position in League Two. “There’s a long season ahead and plenty of time. Both Paul Hurst and Bradford’s manager, Gary Bowyer have been there and done it.

“I was under Gary at Blackburn. He’s a good man and manager.”

“I met Joey Barton as soon as last season finished. He showed me round the place and talked about his ambition for the club.

“To see the set-up and speak to someone who has had the career he has had made the decision an easy one.

“I was sold by it all! The ambition is still there and it is staggering what the Chairman has achieved.

“I’ve noticed a massive difference since my last period here.

“Poolfoot has come on in leaps and bounds.

Last time there were just the portakabins down the side of the car park and the 4G had been opened.

It must be one of the best facilities in the country now.”

Josh has recently been appointed as the club’s Health Ambassador.

“It was an honour and I’ll be happy to help in any way I can.”

There have been a couple of goals so far. Does he remember all his goals well?

“Pretty much so! One particular clear memory was my first for Fleetwood, at Cheltenham in April 2014.

“Quite a few at Scunthorpe stand out. If you score the winning goal you know that you’ve contributed massively to getting the three points.

“There was a free kick at Bury which was literally the last of the game to win it. Very satisfying!”

Despite the domination of his left foot, there has been a right foot goal!

“It would be in November 2017, against Charlton.

“I came off the bench at half time. I scored from a free kick with my left foot then about five minutes later with my right into the top corner.

Special!”

Now in my third year as Academy Manager, I am seeing some real progress being made within the Academy, from the foundation phase all the way up to the Under 18s.

To challenge our players, we scheduled a series of challenging fixtures that gave us mixed results and great experiences for the players involved.

Matt Blinkhorn, Mike Hall and Matt Lawlor have all settled in for the season and are working really well with each other, as a coaching team, implementing a new coaching programme for all in the academy this year.

Some age groups have been involved in tournaments to start of the year as the Under 14s won their respected age group in a national academy cup, playing against sides like Birmingham City, Cardiff City and Norwich City in Birmingham.

It is great for our players to be challenging themselves against tough opponents, and it was with great pride that I saw them do well against these sides.

It is obvious when you look at the staff and the depth of detail going into developing our young players that this is an academy making great strides.We are all looking forward to some big games coming up for our younger age groups.

Our Under 12s to 14s are all taking part in

The North West Cup, and will play against teams like Manchester City, Manchester United and Burnley.

Also, our U9s to U11s will be travelling to Carrington to face Manchester United in a group of friendlies, which will be good for the development for all the players involved.

Looking at the Under 18s, we can all look to them with great optimism as they have started their Youth Alliance campaign unbeaten and have performed well in their respective cups.

I know Simon is confident of having a really good season and, for the first time since I arrived at the club, I feel we are now in a strong position to compete at the highest level of category 3 academy football.

Stephen Crainey has taken up his position this year with the Under 23 squad and we have really focused on improving the programme for our players at this critical stage of their development.

The games programme for them has significantly improved and training as a regular group with Stephen is seeing their development also improve.

We are in a good place right now and we are confident that academy developed players can really start to make an impact on the first team in the near future.

From just £80, you get the opportunity to meet head coach Joey Barton and the first team squad in the home dressing room, as well as getting signatures and pictures with them.

You will also be able to take part in the pre-match warmup and walk out with the players before kick-off!
