FLEETWOOD EXCEL

Posted on December 5, 2013 in Millwall

Fleetwood Town manager Graham Alexander has said that he is extremely happy with the display of his players in the 2-0 win over Carlisle. This was the fourth consecutive victory for the team and it came in the Football League trophy. David Ball and Antoni Sarcevic got on the scoresheet for the home team to register this impressive win. As a result of this victory, they have reached the semifinals of the northern area. Along the way, they have beaten three teams belonging to the division about them. Fleetwood are currently top of the League Two.

Alexander said after the match that this was the kind of performance he was hoping from his players at the start of the season. It was a great team performance and it was hard for him to pick up individual names to highlight. Even though this was a great victory, Alexander has promised that his team will remain grounded in the hunt for promotion to League One. They will have another tough match in the league against Northampton on Saturday. Alexander has said that focus returns to the league and players need to forget about this victory.

“As a performance, that was as near to complete as possible. You can’t pick out any individuals from a performance like that. It’s all about the team and the lads know they can’t do anything on their own. We’re not going to get carried away. We know we’re there to be shot at in the league, being at the top, but the work we do on the training pitch is what gets performances like that [against Carlisle],” said Alexander.

Since they are top of the table, Alexander knows that his team will be there to be shot at. The team have matches against Northampton, Mansfield, and Accrington Stanley in the next few rounds.
