Team news
Rob Page: hoping to finish on a high
Louis Dodds and Michael O’Connor are fit and in contention but with Rob Page hinting that he could give opportunities to fringe players, the starting line-up is anyone’s guess. Squad players Colin Daniel, Achille Campion and Sam Johnson will be hopeful of starting places which a number of promising youngsters could make the bench.
Fleetwood’s only two injury absentees are striker Jamille Matt (leg) and full-back Danny Andrew (knee).
Pre-match quote
“There’s a hell of a lot to play for both individually and as a team. We want to win the game and give a good account of ourselves on the final day…”
