CCFC Manager Mark Robins
On this day (23rd October) four years ago in 2019 goals from two CCFPA members now Amadou Bakayoko and a penalty from Zain Westbrooke gave Mark Robins‘ Sky Blues a 2-1 win at St Andrews against Fleetwood Town. With the win Mark Robins men leapfrogged the Cod Army into League One‘s fourth place recovering from going 1-0 down to beat Joey Barton‘s Cod Army whilst CCFC were in exile at their ‘home from home’ at St Andrew’s. There was a paltry crowd of only 4,673 fans (including less than a hundred away team visitors) there to watch the game.ue
Amadou Bakayoko in the Sky Blue
Fleetwood put the Sky Blues under sustained pressure throughout the game and our ‘keeper Marko Marosi had to make some fine saves. The visitors deserved lead came through a tap in from a post rebound from the Cod Army’s in-form striker Paddy Madden after nine minutes.
However, two second-half goals in eight minutes from Amadou and Zain were enough to see the Sky Blues move to within three points of new leaders Peterborough United, Ipswich Town and Wycombe Wanderers. Fleetwood fell foul of a CCFC equaliser on 59 minutes when a fierce half-volley from just inside the box from our left-back (now a CCFPA member) Sam McCallum‘s was well saved by Fleetwood’s ‘keeper Alex Cairns, and ‘Baka’ smashed home the rebound.
