Celtic hero Scott Brown extends long unbeaten run at Fleetwood Town as he reflects on Charlton clash

Celtic hero Scott Brown made it eight league games unbeaten this weekend after his Fleetwood side shared the spoils with Charlton on Saturday afternoon.

The Cod Army took the lead with 30 minutes on the clock thanks to Callum Morton but the visitors pegged them back late on as Miles Leaburn secured a point for the Addicks. The result means Brown and Co make it a sixth draw in just nine league games as they extended their unbeaten run.

They lost the opening game of the competitive season away to Port Vale but have since won two and drawn six of their last eight league outings. Yesterday's draw leaves the former Celtic skipper and his troops sitting 11th in the English League One standings as they bid to turn their high number of draws into a winning run. Brown has his side hard to beat with just one league loss in the nine outings to date while they suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to English Premier League outfit Everton in the Carabao Cup second round with Frank Lampard handing Fleetwood a 'physical' tag.

Next up is a midweek Football League Trophy group stage showdown with Carlisle before a small break over the internationals with Barnsley in town on October 1.

Speaking after the draw with Charlton, Brown told Fleetwood's website: “It was a game of two halves; I thought in the first half, we dominated and created a lot of chances and I think we could’ve gone in 2-0 up. In the second half, they changed to a 4-3-3, which we knew they were going to go back to that, especially the way they played the first half.

“We did well in that first half; in the second half, we came out of the traps and started well but they started to get the better of us. Their two wingers stayed high which caused us some problems.

“We managed to take another point and there are a lot of positives to take from the result today. There were a lot of great performances, but it was just the last 15-20 minutes where we got a bit sloppy both on and off the ball.”
