Stephen Crainey didn't have to think twice about Fleetwood Town job offer

Boxing Day against Shrewsbury, and if we play like we did against Morecambe, hopefully we can get the three points.

“I keep coming back to the application of the group. It’s been really, really positive and I can’t ask for any more.

“If they keep doing that, we will win games of football and hopefully that will be on Boxing Day.”
