So close to rare Fleetwood win for Bucks

You can ask any Telford fan and they will tell you that we never beat Fleetwood, writes Bucks blogger Dan Clark.

We nearly did on Saturday, albeit from a last minute goal. It didn't feel like a loss though, because a draw at Fleetwood is a brilliant result. At times, we even played better than they did, carrying on our form from the Mansfield game on Tuesday.

Fair enough, Fleetwood played better than Mansfield did against us, playing some smart football and passing it around well.

But we demonstrated that we can compete against some of the big players in this division, and that is the most reassuring thing to see for a Telford fan this season.

Boss Andy Sinton named an unchanged side from the game on Tuesday, which I was pleased with.

We haven't had an unchanged team this season, so it was interesting to see whether it had any effect.

We carried on our slick passing and quick tempo; however Fleetwood showed their abilities quite capably with a few chances in the first half.

I've never seen us take the lead at Fleetwood before, and when Shane Killock gave us the lead in the 44th minute, we were ecstatic.

It is a relief to see that our play is now being rewarded with goals, especially against the big spenders in the division.

From the restart, we didn't stop. Chris Sharp crossed brilliantly for Sean Newton to smash it into the top of the net and we couldn't believe our luck.

Two nil up at Fleetwood will most definitely be a particular highlight in being a Telford fan, especially as it silenced their fans.

Fleetwood showed why they are pushing their weight in the top half of the division though, Brodie came on and they became a more attacking force as they scored two goals to equalise.

Sinton made some defensive substitutions to try and kill the game off, but Fleetwood's attacking pressure paid off.

Personally, I felt Fleetwood weren't at their best today and we could've even pushed for a third with the way we played for the majority of the game.

Brown and Sharp looked hard working and are starting to create a successful partnership that challenged the defence today.

After they both came off though, we lacked an attacking presence.

Proudlock lacked any support to create anything threatening, apart from a Samuels cross that Proudlock only slightly missed late on.

But a draw is a brilliant result away at Fleetwood. If someone would have told me that we would get points from the Mansfield and Fleetwood games earlier on in the week, I wouldn't have believed them.

I am very proud of my team this week. We are starting to create a bit of form now and that can only be a good thing.
