I'm happy to see Andersson back in goal. I think he needed to get back in the saddle after last week. Let's hope for another Sheffield Wednesday type performance!

Thought Wes had a good game the other night

I would prefer Letheran back in net, his experience is key at this level. He has been there and done it. I hope Andersson puts last weeks performance behind him and proves the doubters(me being one of them) wrong today, time will tell.

Glad to see Wootton partnering O'Connor, I thought Delaney was very poor last week.

UTS

He needs an end product, which is what we were saying about Gnahoua a couple of League games ago. Last Saturday, he was my MotM and if McDonald can finish or create after his sinking runs, then we could be looking good.

not sure if Doncaster fans were booing our players for taking the knee there, as their players didn't take the knee?

Can't say I noticed booing, only clapping. Perhaps microphones in different positions?

[Keith]

Aghhhh, McDonald should have scored, one on one. Big miss/good save.

Think he needs some shooting practice , same on Tuesday his end product was poor

[Keith]

Genuine question...

Stockton was off-side when a through ball was played. It took a deflection off the defender. Doesn't that play him back on-side?

[Born again Bill]

Penalty , no penalty , our bad luck continues with decisions

[Keith]

How on earth was that not a penalty??? Dreadful decision! Leigh was rugby tackled!

[dannymorc1]

PENALTY WITHOUT DOUBT!!

[Keith]

We should have had a penalty and Donnie should have had four yellow cards. Bet our first foul will be a yellow card.

[Andy D]

i wonder if SR will change our shape like against Wednesday and Blackburn ?

id like to see McPake & Philips come on in the last 25

[Keith]

I put the Donnie commentary on at the start of the second half. Regarding the [non-]penalty...

"That tackle wouldn't look out of place tomorrow at the rugby".

So that's the view from their lads too.

[dannymorc1]

We haven't got started this half. Got to get a grip on this game again. Changes needed!

[Keith]

Changes needed!

McCalmont off for Phillips. They're well on top at the moment, although no clear chances yet. Come on Morecambe let's get moving again.

[dannymorc1]

Has this referee brought any cards?
COME ON YOU MORECAMBE REDS.

[Born again Bill]

Has this referee brought any cards?
COME ON YOU MORECAMBE REDS.

I'm sure he will find them when we make a slight mistake !

[Keith]

Phillips with a brilliant defensive block for a goal bound shot...

...trouble is, it was Stockton's shot at the Doncaster goal!

[dannymorc1]

This is becoming a very slippery banana skin. Come on Morecambe give us a goal, please.
