1What a great result that I am very happy with.
But we were being outplayed for those first 23 minutes until a very soft Red Card unbalanced Morecambe. Hardly any contact but Dapo went down as though he had been shot!! Most of our fans would have been incensed if that had happened to us.
We then played well for the rest of the half and scored a very good goal from a snap shot from outside the box. But we were still giving the ball away too easily for most of the half.
As Evatt said "we are better than that" but we continued that way in the second half, loads of possession but no creativity and their goalkeeper didn't have to make a save. But Gilks did at the death and without Baptiste being on the line to clear we would have wasted a great opportunity.
Highlights were a fantastic first half shot saved by their goalkeeper, a great goal, Santos getting a header from a corner but missing the target, a great save from Gilks and a kick of the line, that's not much for 76% possession. I agree with Evatt that we are better than that but didn't show it yesterday, however we did show fight and a will to win.
As I said a great win that hopefully will lead to promotion, if our luck holds out for two more games. So come on you Whites we can do this!!!
But where oh we're has this entertaining attacking football gone that Evatt promised us?
