Morecambe Match Thread................
- Thread starter smudgie
- Start date
Well after Saturday I am much more confident of getting a result.
Come on the reds!!!
My team........... Same as Saturday but with Hatfield in, Murphy on the bench.But no doubt Cooky will keep the same, as he has every right to do.
Bring it on
Surely not
Agree with Smudgie, start with Will and maybe Craig, rest Bobby as it is 2 games quickly and he has not been playing in recent weeks!!
Definately start wi Grant, Also i would start wi same team.
I agree Cashy..The only way to ensure that the team continues to improve is to have them playing together at every possible opportunity...
Really looking forward to a great evening filled with good football...some needle..and three more points for Paul and the lads !!!.
I agree with Smudgie, Hatfield for Murphy from the start. Maybe even consider swapping Bobby G for Lindfield or Guthrie as I thought he looked jaded on Saturday. otherwise same team. Either way, heres hoping for a win against the shrimpers ( I know it gets morecambe fans going)
i might even traipse up there for this one!
Hopefully no changes from Saturday.
Come on Accy.
Come on Accy.
Well I thought a draw was probably a fair result. 1st half we battered them, Grant & Devitt yet again the danger men.
Didnt think 1-0 was going to be enough and so it proved, unfortunately yet another defensive mistake from either toto or Nicholls
, depending on how you look at it. We have to remember they have only played 20 games between them. Disappointing though.
As soon as Grant & Devitt in particular started running out of steam, so did our outlets, and as a result we got overun in Midfield. Not sure what Joyce kept moaning about, he was lucky to stay on the pitch. Wish he would keep his mouth shut and concentrate on the game.
MOM for me was Roach in goal. 3 great saves, including that in the second half which was magnificent. Fair play to him for putting up with the stick and playing like that. Two fingers up to those clowns giving him stick I reckon.
Only down side was the rendition of the "Jim Harvey" song............ was it really needed after the incident at White Hart Lane on Saturday??? Just shows how many brain cells are being displayed in the so called "Ultras" nowadays. Whatever happened to the magnificent tributes to the likes of Bobby Robson and Keith Alexander. A section of them really do need to take a look at themselves.
Nice to keep the Morecambe hoodoo still
Onward & Upward.

Game of 2 halves, Roche for me MoM outstanding display, Fer me its time to rest Barnett, even though Morecambe had the better second half, I still thought we had the best chances, Was good to see Stanley shooting on site, a big change from trying to pass it into the net,as in past times, overall disappointed we never took 3 pts, but pleased we are now 5 unbeaten, onwards n upwards.

Good summary Smudgie. Couldn't agree more about the young idiots behind the Clayton End abusing Roche - GROW UP. The match statistics showing our 25 shots on goal(17 on target), against Morecambe's 15 (7 on target) don't really reflect the run around they gave us in the second half, although we lapsed into our default defence panic under pressure mode by hoofing out or presenting them with the ball. Having said that, they really didn't carve out any meaningful chances despite their good possession. An entertaining game, and a fair result. I just wish Craney hadn't wastefully gone for glory twice at the end instead of using his better placed team mates. Very poor!
One of those near the end was Barnett,
He should have squared the ball wi 2 forwards waiting.Maybe - eyesight's not as good as it used to be.One of those near the end was Barnett,
A fair result in the end, but you really battered us in the first 45 and we were lucky to go in 1-0 with still all to play for in the second half, and so it proved.
Liked the look of both your forward loanees, but I'd be worried if and when the rules concerning loanees change.
Have to say that your manager never shut up throughout but the majority of it was lost in translation due to a throat infection? However he's obviously in the process of changing your style which I've always admired.
Only consultation for me is that you are still below us but you've a game in hand!

consolation? i'd have thought after all these years you'd be more familiar with that word
