The Official Morecambe Match Thread (Sponsored by a returning Josh Andrews "for all your playoff desperation needs")

[GillsBluenose]

At the moment, all we are doing is loosening our defensive discipline in the desperate attempt to improve our attack and goal scoring.

At best, that means we are standing still. At worst, we are showing that we are still incapable of scoring enough goals.

This could be a 3-3, but will that satisfy anyone?

They look very vulnerable at the back.
It’s there to win

Shadders is a real percentages player. For every goal scoring mistake, two/three goal saving tackles and blocks.

It bodes well for the 2nd half with the wind behind us (I hope )

His obvious mistake aside, we’ve pretty much bossed this game so far.
It’s there to win for us.

we are so slow to shoot

A bit shotshy ?

We're slow to think imho.

I think playing into the wind has helped us this half.
Hope you are right though, and we are not over-hitting passes in the next 45.

Unusual first half for two reasons - we were clearly the better side and our striker did was he's paid to do. Keep it going guys.

Absolutely. Think we're gonna win this.

It was nice to see us just shade a fairly even first half but I'm not sure how we'll cope with the wind behind us.

(where the hell did those emojis come from) it long and/or high to Hawks will only work if the midfield get up quickly to support him. Maybe Nadesans pace will be a better bet.

WTF. The Emojis are automatically replacing the word hit and ting.

I was thinking back to the Sheffield Wednesday cup game in 2000

Bloody shame that we don’t have a really fast forward player in these conditions.
Maybe Mahoney will run with the ball?

 

[Defenestrator]

Morecambe seem to have improved

 

[jokerman]

Morecambe seem to have improved

And we are looking disjointed.

Walker's on now. And he's going to score the winner

 

[HerrLjunga]

There endeth the season

 

[Defenestrator]

Oh bloody hell. What a mess

 

[londongills]

That was just terrible defending.
