After last weekend’s trip to Aldershot Town was postponed, the Coasters return to Mill Farm this weekend as they play the first of two huge home clashes against Dagenham & Redbridge.
Fylde face the Daggers before hosting Boston United on Tuesday night in an important Mill Farm double header.
Last time out, the Coasters ran out 2-1 winners away at Halifax Town in what proved to be a huge three points over in West Yorkshire.
Goals from Tyler Roberts and Nick Haughton made it just a second away win on the road for the Coasters as they look to make it back to back wins this weekend.
Opposition dugout: Lewis Young
Lewis initially joined the Daggers in April of 2023, as assistant manager to Ben Strevens but was given the job full time in mid-January after an upturn in form.
Assisting him in the dugout is Mick McCarthy’s former Premier League Assistant Terry O’Connor.
One to watch: Christian N’Guessan
The 25-year-old was the eighth addition to Ben Strevens’ squad this summer, agreeing a deal until the end of the 2025/26 season.
N’Guessan began his career with Blackpool where he went on to win the North-West Youth Alliance title and Lancashire FA Youth Cup in the 2016–17 season. On 6 December 2016, he made the bench for the first team for an EFL Trophy defeat to Doncaster Rovers on penalties. On 9 December 2016, he signed for Northern Premier League Division One North side Bamber Bridge on a work experience loan.
In July 2017, he signed for Burnley on a two-year deal with the option of a further year and was placed into the Development Squad. On 2 January 2020, he signed for EFL League Two side Oldham Athletic on loan for the remainder of the season.
In May 2021, N’Guessan joined National League South side Ebbsfleet United after impressing on trial. The 2022–23 season saw Ebbsfleet lift the National League South title, N’Guessan being named in the Team of the Season. On 16 June 2023, it was confirmed that he would be leaving Ebbsfleet to join a Football League club.
On 16 June 2023, N’Guessan signed for League Two club Sutton United. He departed the club following relegation at the end of the 2023–24 season.
