Apart from Dunn who understandably and deservedly takes all the plaudits from last nights result i feel there should be a special mention for the 3 forward lads who played last night that didn't play Saturday.
Molyneux
Mullin
Stockton
I thought these 3 lads were excellent last night. I've previously stated that Moly should be played as a left back as he is probably the best one at the club, which i still believe he is, but if he keeps playing as he did last night then Kev can stay on the bench. This was the Molyneux we all hoped had signed for Morecambe little over 12 months ago and hopefully he can continue this fine form, looked one step ahead and always seemed to have time on the ball.
Mullin seemed to be playing a bit deeper than he normally plays and I was surprised Jim didn't put him on at 2-0 down on Saturday as many times last season he changed the game coming from the bench. But i think once he had settled into the game last night he looked very dangerous picking the ball up deep running at the defence and feeding balls in to Cole and Barky. May have even had a goal or 2 if Barky had squared a couple of passes. Could have also squared one himself to Barky or Moly as well.
Stockon gave the Rotherham defence something to think about all night and it was strangely enjoyable to watch championship defenders struggle to deal with a man that is unwanted at Tranmere. One turn in particular in the first half was magnificent. On another day he could have had another 1 or 2. Looked like a real old school type of striker holding the ball up and laying it off. The difference he made in bringing the team up the pitch is something that has been missed.
I just thought those 3 lads deserved a mention after being on the bench on Saturday and having a positive impact on the teams performance, but obviously the rest of the lads have put an incredible shift in, Dunn getting a fantastic hat trick and Ryan Edwards who for me was the only one to leave Grimsby with any credit on Saturday was fantastic again. Hopefully Jim goes with a similar approach on Saturday with the mindset of getting at Blackpool from the off.
Onwards and upwards. Come on you shrimps
