Pre-match views

Coach Anthony Wright: "It's a quick turnaround for the boys after Monday's game, but that's all part of their learning.

"Brentford was a tough game, and I know the boys will have learnt from that, and I was super proud of the second half showing.

"We'll have some boys back from internationals, which is great. It's our third time playing Fleetwood this season, and we look forward to hopefully progressing in the cup."
