ROSLER Welcome to Highbury for today’s Emirates FA Cup tie against Hereford

ood afternoon and welcome to Highbury for today’s Emirates FA Cup second round tie against Hereford FC. I was pleased with the reaction my players showed in last week’s 0-0 draw with Blackpool. There wasn’t much between the sides, and my team were committed to the cause and put in the maximum effort required for a derby game. Given the players missing, we accept a point, especially after the performance against Walsall.

Today we return to Emirates FA Cup action, as we welcome Hereford FC. We know how dangerous a nonleague opponent can be, as we found out in the last round against Chorley.

They are having a good season in the EvoStik Southern Premier Division, and are yet to lose away from home in the league. We have studied Hereford and aware of their threats, so we know that today’s match will be very difficult. The prize at the end of today’s game is a place in the third round, something which we achieved last season, and would love to at least match that this year.

Last week saw over 5,000 supporters packed into Highbury. I asked before the game for our fans to make it feel like a real home match, and you didn’t let me and the team down. We will need that support once more today, as we look to progress in

the competition.

I’d finally like to welcome Peter Beadle, his staff and players, as well as their supporters and directors to Highbury and wish them a safe journey home.

Enjoy the game,

POND LOOKING FORWARD TO FACING

NON-LEAGUE HEREFORD WORDS: DAVID MITCHELL PICS: STEFAN WILLOUGHBY

Defender Nathan Pond talks about his experiences over the years in the FA Cup and how he faired in them.

Fleetwood Town’s FA Cup path over the last fifteen years can be seen through the eyes of their longest-serving player, Nathan Pond.

The route has taken him from non-league encounters in front of small crowds to underdog status against Football League teams and the favourite’s tag against lower league opposition.

The 32 year-old has seen it all and pulled the shirt on twentyseven times.

“In the early days I remember wins against the likes of Darwin and Bedlington (2003-04). There were a lot of qualifying rounds back then.

“Coming from non-league you always wanted to get to the First Round. Then there was a chance of meeting a Football League team.

“These days we get the benefit of a First Round entry automatically with Premier League clubs coming into the Third Round. Personally, I don’t think that is fair. The Premier League teams should start in the First Round and go to the likes of Chorley and see how they deal with it. It would 4 || 4

make the competition even more interesting.

“At the moment, the Arsenals and Liverpools of this world only need to win four or five games to win the Cup. “There’s many a non-league team who will have to win that many just to get to the First Round.”

One of Pond’s less satisfactory memories goes back nine years to a First Round tie at Leiston.

East Suffolk was unchartered territory and the signs weren’t good when a power failure put the match in jeopardy.

When it eventually started, Pond’s involvement lasted just an hour.

“Eventually they sorted it but I wished they hadn’t! I got sent off for a tackle.

“The manager was defending me at the time but when he saw it later on television he changed his opinion and told me that I had come in “like a train”! Fortunately, we turned them over in the replay.”

Pond missed the high-profile Second Round game at home to Hartlepool United. It was

a huge day for the club but fog came close to forcing a cancellation.

“I was hoping it would be called off from a selfish point of view because I wanted to be involved in a game that big.”

A year later, his chance was to come as Fleetwood travelled to Northampton Town for a First Round tie.

Northampton had been in League One the year before and with ‘Match of the Day’ showing extended highlights it became one of the landmark games on the Fleetwood journey.

With a Cod Army numbering 500 cheering them on, Fleetwood went close to forcing a replay.

“I remember Sean Clancy scoring and we gave it a real good go. We had a chance of a replay right at the end.

“There was a goalmouth scramble which led to a melée as a few tackles were left in.

It was a good day out for the club, though.”

The 2011-12 campaign was arguably the most memorable. After a replay

victory over Mansfield Town in the Final Qualifying round, Wycombe Wanderers were the First Round opponents at Highbury. Goals from Andy Mangan and Jamie Vardy gave Fleetwood a 2-0 victory. It was Fleetwood’s first win over a Football League side.

“I remember that game well,’ said Pond. ‘There was a lot of hype surrounding Jordan Ibe who went on to Liverpool and Bournemouth.

“That was his last game for Wycombe I think. A month or so later he signed for Liverpool at the age of sixteen.

Another league side, Yeovil Town, were next up.

“We were 2-0 down at home and didn’t really want to have to travel to their place but somehow we pulled them back with a Kieran Charnock goal and a penalty from Jamie Milligan.

“By the time we went to Yeovil we knew that the winner would play Blackpool at home in the Third Round. There was no way we were going to lose.

“Jamie Vardy ran them ragged and we were allowed a drink or two back in the hotel that night! Blackpool had quality strikers and every chance seemed to be going into the top corner.

WIt was a good learning experience, though, and we went on to reach the Football League at the end of that season.”

In the 2015-16 season, Pond recorded a milestone in the First Round at Walsall.

“It was my 400th game for Fleetwood but we lost 2-0 to good opposition.

Strangely enough, I was to bring up

the Fleetwood appearance record at the same place six months later.”

Last season, there was a return to a familiar ground, Haig Avenue in Southport.

“We’ve had a lot of ding-dongs in the past, especially in Conference North. I enjoyed going back there.

“Both sets of fans were up for it that night. Southport played well in both legs but our fitness came through in the end. Next up was Shrewsbury Town away.

“David Ball had a chance to nick it at their place but it went to a replay 6 6 ||

which meant we played them four times in five weeks. We were sick of the sight of them! I rolled my ankle but we went through 3-2 to face Bristol City away. They had Tammy Abraham who has played Premier League and for England now! We did well to get another replay, only losing 1-0 at home.”

Chorley in this season’s competition was a potential banana skin and another return to the days of yore for Pond.

“They are a club going places. It was hard to adapt. They made it difficult but as with Southport

fitness and quality shone through in the end. Now we have a chance of getting to the Third Round again but we won’t underestimate Hereford.

“Chorley showed how big a challenge non-league opposition can be. We’ll have home advantage, though.”

Hereford’s own FA Cup history will be forever remembered for one of the greatest shocks of all time, their 2-1 victory in a Third Round replay over Newcastle United in 1972. It is a long time ago now but Nathan Pond and his men will be taking nothing for granted.

Following the conclusion of the Checkatrade Trophy group stage on Wednesday, we can now confirm that we will face Chesterfield (pictured right) in Round Two. The Spirites beat Manchester City U21’s on penalties to finish second in Group F, setting up the clash at Highbury on Tuesday 5th December (7:45pm k/o). After the cup competitions are out of the way, Town will have a long wait until Peterborough United (pictured right) visit the Fylde Coast. The Posh felt robbed in their last game as two late goals from Charlton Athletic, which including a penalty

by Ricky Holmes, meant the points were shared at the Valley.

Gillingham is the last home fixture for 2017. The game which takes place just before Christmas with the Gils travelling over 280 miles to Highbury.

The last time they were in Fleetwood, Town finished on top in a 2-1 win.

Fleetwood are next on the road in a weeks’ time, travelling to the DW Stadium to face Wigan Athletic (pictured left). The Latics are looking for an instant return to the Championship, and are currently on course for that goal, sitting in second place in Sky Bet League One going into today’s game.

Town then have to wait until Boxing Day for their next away trip, when they take on Oldham Athletic (pictured left). The Latics have won two in two in all competitions, the latest coming as they defeated local rivals Rochdale 3-1 at Boundary Park. They were also recently victorious against fellow rivals, and our following opponents, Bury. The side have recently appointed Chris Lucketti as their new manager, who drew his first game in charge against Northampton. The Cod Army will take confidence into the game knowing that they won 3-2 against the Shakers in the reverse fixture in September.

Whilst here, he won the FAW Premier Cup in the 2007/08 season, after knocking out both Swansea City and Cardiff City.

Beadle made the move to Cleveton Town in 2010 and was there until he joined Hereford.

After a few roles at the club, he guided the club to a treble in his first year as manager.

PREDICTEDXI

MANTOWATCH Today’s man to watch for Rovers is their striker John Mills.

The striker instantly became a fans favourite at Edgar Street, as his goals last season helped the Bulls win the league title.

Mills joined the side from Didcot Town in 2015, and thats where he generated a lot of interest.

In his time at Didcot, the 25-yearold scored 57 goals, and that meant Bulls boss Peter Beadle would want to chase the player going into the 15/16 campaign.

He joined the club alongside strike partner at Didcot, Pablo Haysham.

INS IDE V IEW

INSIDEVIEW Ahead of this afternoon’s match against Hereford, Craig Bratt asked Hereford Times Sports Writer Paul Thomas for his thoughts on all things Bulls related.

CB: Hereford’s FA Cup run began way back in September with an 8-0 win over Godalming Town. For those who haven’t followed The Bulls’ progress, can you give us a low down of their run to the 2nd Round?

PT: Hereford started their FA Cup run with a comfortable 8-0 win over Combined Counties League Premier Division outfit Godalming Town in the first qualifying round. Godalming had goalkeeper Aaron Bufton sent off early on, resulting in left-back Lewis Taylor going in goal. The Bulls comfortably won the match, with John Mills scoring a hat-trick. Mills was again on the mark in the second qualifying round, scoring twice in a 4-0 win at Kempston Rovers before Hereford beat Isthmian League Division One North highfliers AFC Hornchurch 2-0. Hereford’s biggest win to date came at National League Premier Division side Eastleigh. Goals from Mike McGrath and Garyn Preen saw Pete Beadle’s team prevail 2-1 and the Bulls even had to endure 14 minutes of stoppage time after Preen went off with a head injury. Another higher-graded team were beaten in the first round proper. Mills scored his seventh goal in this season’s competition in a 1-0 win over AFC Telford United of the National League North.

CB: What’s been the recipe for Hereford’s successes since the formation of the phoenix club in 2014?

PT: I think having a big fan base behind them has helped massively. Hereford had to start in the ninth tier of English football, but attendances averaged at an incredible 2,800 – helped by a run to the FA Vase final. That support has continued for the past two seasons, with over 1,000 fans set to back them for today’s game. A winning mentality also means that Hereford go into every game believing they can win.

CB: Hereford are currently on a nine match unbeaten run in the EvoStik League South. How much confidence can they take into the game against Town?

Paul Thomas PT: It will be a massive upset if Hereford win, or even get a replay and I think a lot of fans will be travelling in hope rather than expectation. But this is the FA Cup and anything can happen on the day. The Bulls have also not lost away from home in any competition for over a year and will go into the game believing they can give Fleetwood a game.

CB: Fleetwood have already got past one non-league side in Chorley in a tight game in the last round. What are the chances of Hereford causing Uwe Rosler’s side similar problems?

PT: Hereford have got some good players, but need to be on top of their game and hope Fleetwood have an off day.

The fact that the game is being played at Fleetwood makes Hereford’s task even harder, but manager Pete Beadle will have them well drilled and hopeful they can cause Rosler’s team problems.

CB: Who do you think will be Hereford’s key man in Saturday’s clash?

PT: John Mills has already scored seven goals in the FA Cup this season and is Hereford’s biggest goal threat. It will be interesting to see who plays in central midfield though. Tyrone Duffus, who is on loan from Cardiff, is out injured, so Keyon Reffell – who is much more influential out wide – may have to partner Rob Purdie. Hopefully, Calvin Dinsley and Pablo Haysham may be back from injury in time for the game to give Pete Beadle more options.

CB: What’s your score prediction for the game?

PT: I think Fleetwood will have too much for Hereford on the day and will win 3-0.

If every changing room the Football Foundation ever funded was combined, 39,160 players would be able to change simultaneously!

If every all-weather and natural grass pitch the Football Foundation funded was laid back-to-back, it would stretch from London’s BIG BEN TO CALAIS!

COMMUNIT YTRUST Cairns, Coyle & Cargill visit The Breck Primary School Fleetwood Town trio Alex Cairns, Lewie Coyle and Baily Cargill visited Key Stage 2 students from The Breck Primary School, Poulton.

They hosted a special question and answer session, and were more than happy to sign autographs and pose for pictures afterwards too!

Biggins, Hunter & Schwabl visit Carr Head!

Fleetwood Town trio Ashley Hunter, Markus Schwabl and Harrison Biggins took time to visit local children from Carr Head Primary School, Poulton on Wednesday afternoon.

They all interacted with the pupils, took part in small sided football sessions and happily signed autographs at the school.

The after-school session was delivered by Fleetwood Town’s Community Trust in conjunction with the Premier League Primary Stars programme. Alex Cairns, said on the visit: “It’s great to see the kids and get to know our local community.

“To come and have a laugh and a joke with the children and answer their questions is great for us as players.

“It’s amazing to be here and some of the kids have said that they can’t wait to see us play at live games!”

The after-school session was delivered by Fleetwood Town’s Community Trust in conjunction with the Premier League Primary Stars programme.”

Markus Schwabl, said: “For football clubs, it’s especially important to get the community involved and spend time with kids from schools, as we’ve all been there before.

“It’s important that the kids see that you’re just a regular person off the pitch.

“They can talk to you, ask you questions and just have a good time playing football with you.

“I remember when I was a kid and some football player came to my school, it was one of the best days of my life!”

Jason Sharp, Senior Sports Development Officer at Fleetwood Town Community Trust, added: “It was great to have the players down at the school.

“For the children to have the access to professional players and be able to interact and ask questions about their career is brilliant.

“It is important for first team players to support the Premier League Stars programme which engages school children through the power of football.”

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

**

My role is to ensure that the players in our academy our provided with the best support possible for them during their time with us.

This support for our Development squad, for our scholars and for our players from under 9 to under 16 relates to their education in assuring they take their schooling seriously as they will definitely need their education throughout their lives, especially in view of the small number of players who end up in the professional game.

I also want to ensure that they are cared for and supported and are safe, whilst in our charge in terms of their welfare and through our safeguarding responsibilities.

Sadly in this era, we are aware of adults who may take advantage of our young people and coupled with the pressures on our children in many ways, not least through social media, I feel that our players need support and information and life skills to help balance their approach to life in general.

Combined with their football development it will be an exciting time for them at Fleetwood Town.

I see their time with Fleetwood Town FC as a ‘win – win’ situation from the point of view that they will be in an elite environment, they will receive top level coaching, professional sports science and self assessment from our team of analysts.

These are all important facets of their development and whatever happens in the long term, it is in no doubt that they will flourish in this environment.

I feel well placed to support our players as I have been a teacher for 31 years, I ran Lancashire schools FA for 16 years, I am currently the England schoolboys international under 18 team manager, and through this role I have coached Chris Smalling (MUFC) Dave Wheeler (QPR), and I have a son who has experienced the pitfalls of being involved in professional football.

At present Sam is at Morecambe FC and playing in the 1st but he has shown a lot of mental toughness to get to this stage. I have also played football all of my life.

After being released by Blackpool FC, I went to University and played for the British Universities team and then Morecambe FC for 7 years, as well as Fleetwood Town, Accrington Stanley, Lancaster City and Bamber Bridge.

I love football and I am looking forward to developing our academy further.
