I love away trips to Morecambe, apart from some great results and fightbacks there, this fixture usually produces a good game.

Put in a performance like on Tuesday night, and we have every chance of a win today.

Gornell back into starting 11? He did score on Tuesday. Also Coneeley to replace Barry I reckon.

Also how good has Winnard been in the last 2 games, can remember at least a dozen key tackles/interceptions/blocks so far.
 
Absolutely gutted! Morecambe didn't do us over, we did ourselves over - no more to say on the subject :(
 
We were poor and it could have been more. I had a bad feeling about today and it proved correct.

For those who think we are promotion material it is a wake up call but we can and will get better.
 
Does Josh Windass' miss mean he owes the club the league title?

That's how it works if someone misses an easy chance isn't it?
 
Footballs a funny game !,we started what looked a 4-3-3 line up and we dominated the first half and went in one down,unbelievable!.
We weren't as dominant in the second half,but we were by far the better side.
How josh missed an open goal from three yards about summed up the day.
Just need to start scoring to reward the great football were producing.
If I was nit picking,our front three were miles apart and as fatigue kicked in the centre forward became isolated.
Defensively we were excellent and was only undone by a cut back and their midfielder not being tracked (think it was Barry).
Performance was good,pity about the result
 
Well my two pence worth...... First time in a while!

If that is all we have to show over 90 minutes then I really am I worried man. When Winnard has to go up front you know things are desperate. Fancy triangle possession football on the half way line might be great at the Nou camp, Barcelona but not on a Saturday afternoon in Morecambe. No penetration, yes young Josh misses a sitter but we deserved absolutely nowt.

As others have said, Mingoia and Windass seem to be on another planet to the rest of the side, by far our biggest threats. I would love to know how many blades of grass Piero covers over 90 minutes, a wonderful player.

As for Crooks I really would love for someone to tell me what he brings to the side.... Ive seen an ape playing with a melon in Chester Zoo have better ball control than him.... Truly dreadful for me. Gornell looked nowhere near fit to me ??? Thought Kee showed some nice touches but again.... looked unfit. Quite strange that Buxton was left out..... For me he is a sure starter if fit!

A long hard season beckons on that showing...........

But it's fine we have the greatest management team on the planet !!!
 
I wasn't there so can't comment on the performance, but am encouraged by reports that we were the better side. From what I've seen this term I'm sure the results will come once we get our best front options settled down. Mansfield had better watch out on Tuesday!��

I don't agree that you dominated the first half. Goodall's shot comes back off the bar to Ellison and he missed an easier chance than the late chance for Accy. That should have been 2-0.

Anyway I don't think anyone could begrudge us a result today , the run had to end sometime.
 
Domination does not win games it's goals and they should have scored again long before windass missed when they hit the woodwork and missed the rebound. I presume the disallowed goal was offside for them as it was down the far end.

We did have a lot of possession and they didn't look that great but they still got their first league win and that's a downer today.

Hopefully we have learned but that's two league games in a row where we are lacking a cutting edge.

Other than the Windass chance we never had any other chances in the game, all nice playing tippy tappy football in the centre of midfield but we didn't hurt morecambe at all. It was a comfortable afternoon for there 2 central defenders.

Jim Bentley admitted on lancs radio they were given a football lesson in the first half and were lucky to go in ahead.
That's how I saw it , we never panicked and they were chasing shadows,indeed they took moly off not long after half time to go narrower,it really looked like we were the home team and for large parts tried to force the pace.
 
Well I must have been watching a different game to others . We started well , then fell asleep after ten mins , half time was no better , but the last five minutes were brilliant , we did actually start playing .
It had to be a downer today after the superb performance they gave on Tues against Hull I bet they still worn out from it.
Anyway it's been and gone so bring on Tuesday.
 
Well its early days yet and we probably have not got over two league games what we have deserved
it no good feeling sorry for ourselfs
Come out of the blocks roaring on tuesday and get at em
A win tuesday then its a decent start, then build from there

Dont Panic
 
Post from their forum " Accrington should have won,they were the better side. And played most of the football"
 
It wasn't exactly attack v defence, but make no mistake - Morecambe came out as the away side; it was their knockout cup tie and they were set up as such.

Accy were in control for the large part in my opinion. The fact that we didn't create more clear chances was purely down to the amount of Morecambe bodies playing behind the ball. You can't be so short sighted as to pour scorn on the Stanley players for that. A bit more luck for Josh and we're drawing with a view to winning the game.

Gutted to see the end of those wonderful 10 years. Saying that - I remember the days when we used to gaze upwards and aspire to play Morecambe at a national level. That time came, we surpassed them in promotion to the Football League and proceeded to smash them for a decade. I can live with that.
 
what a boring 97 minuites of football. we had no penetration once we got into the last third if the pitch. nice little tippy tappy midfield play and plenty of possession against a side that were there for the taking. forget the miss by joss and his first half shot that was all we had to offer upfront. they were poor but still looked the most likely to score. improvement needed on Tuesday night with a bit more directness.
 
Season,s are,nt shaped on the the first 2 games it takes every team 8 or 9 games to get the shape of the team right last season Cheltenham were in the top 3 early doors and went down, as for the game yesterday I thought it was,nt a good game to watch both sides in typical early season form wrong time of the season for derbies for me lacked any passion shown usually at these games as Nick says no need to panic so early on.
