Great defensive performance with several at the back excellent and Trevor absolutely outstanding.
Right decision to take off Jonah as we were totally exposed on that flank. Looked a lot better second half because we pushed up and took the game to them.
Main reason for the post though was that while he produced the cross for the goal Adam Phillips was shockingly awful. A cross that went straight out; a terrible through ball for Cole; over hit cross; a shocking pass in midfield that led to the goal; but worst of all two minutes of injury time and loses ball up front and then jogs back and miles away from the play.
If his contribution, or anyone else, is that poor we’re never going to stay up. Needs a kick up the arse.

1. Derek Adams received the plaudits for getting us into Div 1, like him or not he did the business
2. We got a point against a very accomplished team. Ipswich passed the ball around well and were well
organised ... until we scored and they were rattled, shame we couldn't grab another goal then
3. Our players really did give their all, put their bodies on the line and worked their bits off. Carson in particular and Fane were excellent
4. Derek made 2 good subs at half time. Ayunga was being himself and not really producing much, Cooney was left stranded and being swamped time and again
5. The subs created and scored the goal. My oh my how we need Wildig, he ghosts into the area and grabs those vital goals. Phillips may have been slack with is passing but let's be honest, many of his misplaced passes could have been killer balls, today they weren't. I would start both Wildig and Phillips every game and encourage players to expect the crosses to be swung in quickly
6. The fans. I loved the atmosphere today. Our guys behind the goal were awesome once more, the Red Army chant got going better than I can ever remember, most around me high up in the stand were giving it some wellie.
7 Ipswich fans. They sang without being abusive, they encouraged their team and they were (as far as I could tell outside the ground) civilised and happy. I watched several cars turn up with Ipswich fans, many were family groups with young children and it was exactly what supporting your team should be
8. Pride. Morecambe FC make me feel good. My first games were around 54 years ago when we were youngsters in the scratting shed days. It was good then and has gradually got better along with the club becoming professional all round and now an established football league club. It sill feels good to be a Morecambe supporter ... and let me tell you this
9. If we get relegated I will be disappointed, yet I will never believe that we didn't give it our best shot. The memories will burn deep and I will (hopefully) be there again next season to enjoy the ecstasy and agony of being a Morecambe fan
10. Ask any Morecambe fan ... we will not be relegated
It still feels furkin brilliant when my team score a goal! I got that rush today when Wildig nodded the ball home and am so grateful that the club give me moments when I can jump for joy like I did when I was a lad
Old git rant over
