How can Fleetwood stay in business with a gate of less than 2,500 ? Another point for the Gills , another point towards that magic top ten position to start 2020.
Who do we lose in the new year that look as if they will be going back to their clubs, and what do we need to bring in to keep pushing forwards towards a play off place, apart from Jimmy Greaves to put his foot out and score the goals we need so bad.

I wondered that too. Attracting Joey Barton as manager and Paddy Madden up front. I guess the owner can't take his wife out for dinner much!
