Morecambe 1 [Lang] Notts County 4 Live iFollow Thread

[tim-sanchez]

Fully understood Freez, just seems unfortunate that we can't listen to your excellent commentary for another month or two! Cheers for clearing it up

[drretro]

Aw, for ffffuuu-

[tim-sanchez]

Shame, we've been much better second-half and deserved a goal. I'd rather we started like this, conceding more chances but creating more, rather than the fairly impotent first half we saw. Lets hope we get a consolation to boost the lads confidence, this match was always going to be tough.

0-3 poor defending again but they don't look three goals better than us.

Difference is, finishing. We had a shot from almost exactly the same spot as their second. Theirs flies in to the top corner, ours flies in to the stand.

[Keith]

Switched the video off and put the commentary on for the last few minutes. Mind you, they sound so depressed, it may not be a good idea!

But fortunately, Wickes is open until 6pm if you need a new kitchen.

[bill ding]

In a word .....shocking !

[Keith]

Been getting battered for a while now.

[fulwoodshrimp]

Please ask the manager his thinking in today's team selection. Baffling, demoralising and step closer to the drop.

[drretro]

Well, 'least we got something. Well done, Lang.

IMO they did look 3 goals better than us.....

I’m not sure what Campbell does.... to start him above Lang is strange

[black morse]

Well at this rate Lang will be our top scorer without getting a regular start
Bet we can't sign him either

I think up to the point when they scored the third, we'd had about as much of the play and chances as they had. Difference is, they took their chances, with good finishes. We never looked confident in front of goal. After the third, our heads dropped and we were never going to produce a miracle turn around.

Campbell was one of my MotM's at Mansfield, I thought he had a really good game. Less so today but not poor IMHO.

Unless Lang had a knock, it does appear to be a strange decision, dropping him. When does his loan end?

[BerlinWaller]

I have no idea how Jim came up with that line up today and no idea why he waited till almost an hour before making a change.

Don't be fooled by the pointless knocking it about around the defence, Notts County showed us how to win a football match and if they stepped out of 2nd gear, they could have had 6.

I will enjoy the usual guff from the usual people...

[jona77]

Well I think Freez said about 3 months ago that don’t judge Jim until the Xmas period is over! Well our current form is one of the worst in the league and you can’t deny if we carry on like this we will be relegated. You can only work with what you’ve got but I think Jim has been way too negative with his team selections and style of play. I think it’s time to go for broke especially in the away games and just go for teams and play more than one up front. I’d love to know how many games this year we have gone behind in. Some posters have said frequently the management team seem to be more concerned with the opposition rather than our own game. I think some of the formations and starting 11 picked by the management have contributed to some of the performances. We are just lucky at the moment that there are other teams equally as bad as us though the bottom 5 including us seem to be getting cut adrift from the rest of the league which is becoming even more of a wory.

From where I was, Campbell and Thompson didn’t play well at all, I suppose we all see things differently

Totally agree with you.

Notts looked what they are a leading promotion candidate and made us look like what we could be, a relegation candidate. They are miles ahead of us in technique, tactical awareness and without doubt in finishing.

Today it was men v boys and we played like we deserved what we got...sod all. Yet again hoof ball up to our single striker who yet again had no support..

As for team selection.....what a complete utter joke. Maybe it's time he was challenged during post match interviews about team selection and tactics because once again it's a home performance with little if anything to get excited about.

No doubt the manager will come out with expressions of some positives.....

[Sakhalin Shrimp]

Today was the 1st time Mrs Sak and me left before the end, guessing about the 85th minute as the scoreboard still isn't working. We missed the last 2 goals but couldn't see us getting anything out of the game and were freezing.

Thought Campbell was ineffective today. Thommo seemed to be the only one to have shots on target and these went straight to their keeper. (Obviously Lang did but I missed that)

[bill ding]

As some one posted on Radio Accy ,sorry Lancashire 22 points out of a potential 72 is diabolical.
Bet Yeovil can't wait to get here on Friday.

p.s. Campbell had a shocker

[CityShrimp]

We just aren't good enough as it stands to be beating teams like Notts County.

The worrying thing is that I actually thought we played ok at times and tried reasonably hard, yet Notts County still managed to win comfortably without getting out of 2nd gear. They didn't dominate play or cut us apart - they just swatted us aside like a fly.

Notts County clearly have some quality and there's no shame to lose against them but the problem is that we haven't picked up points against the poor teams either. Two points from rock bottom now. This very much feels the closest to the trap door we've ever been since joining the Football League.

I've got some sympathy for Jim - our team was just inferior to the Notts County team, regardless of who is managing us. My only criticism is why did our most potent goalscorer - Callum Lang - not start?

On a side note, it's concerning that a teenager on loan from Wigan, who scored his first ever senior goal 2 weeks ago, is currently our biggest attacking threat, and says a lot about the rest of our strikeforce.

Oliver, whilst he tries hard and does offer other things, will never be a goalscorer. Tactically, we seriously need to stop lining up with him as our only striker up on his own. We've played hours and hours of football in this manner and it hasn't worked.

Anyway, let's hope we show some grit against Yeovil on Friday and fight for our status in League 2.

[halfwayprawn]

What a load of untrained rubbish, no one knew their jobs,no one took responsibility and not putting the young ones on till the last 10 min was a disgrace. Keeping the players for over an hour to bollock them i can understand but for crying out loud send the so called mom up to accept the award and not keep the actual sponsors waiting. They are putting their money into the club. If he still needs bollocking make him go back down to carry on.

[Morecambe Jack]

Most of the team had a shocker, and so did Jim and Kenny with the team and tactics that they fielded.

If it wasn't already, it is now time they stopped blaming bad luck and start being honest that we are in a relegation fight. You make your own luck a lot of the time.

Some terrible defending throughout the side and the final ball and finishing was atrocious. God knows how the sponsors came up with Lund as MOTM.

If we need a result on the final day of the season, does anyone think this team could get one? No fight in it at all.

Last day of the season? Be long over by then mate.

We have him for the full season, thankfully!
