One to Watch: Danny Andrew
Despite being a left-back, Danny Andrew has been arguably Fleetwood’s most creative and effective player this season. He is the club second top goal scorer (six) and has the second most assists (six) for the club in 30 appearances in all competitions. He is a deadly crosser of the ball and will be a real threat to Salop on Saturday if he isn’t closed down enough.
