The 2021-22 campaign delivered a nerve-shredding, dramatic fight for survival for Fleetwood Town as The Cod Army finished a precarious 20th in League One, narrowly avoiding the drop to the fourth tier. The season was defined by a turbulent managerial change, with Stephen Crainey eventually taking the helm, but the side narrowly clung on to their third-tier status. Leading the line was the young forward Gerard Garner, whose 7 crucial league goals, along with the breakout attacking contributions of Danny Andrew and Paddy Lane, proved decisive in a desperate battle against the drop and marked a significant chapter of resilience for the club.
