Fleetwood's secretary, Alan Norbury, commended his team's effort, acknowledging a battling performance despite the defeat, "Given the difference in league position this was a good hard working performance from our lads who pushed the league leaders all the way from the off. It was only a scruffy goal in the final two minutes, whilst we were pushing hard for an equaliser that made the game safe for Broughton. 2 more goals from Frankie Pearson, one a superb volley on the run, and a great header from Ross Whitehead were scant reward for a real battling performance".
