Excellent rendition of "God Save the Quing"

[Keith]

Great through-ball from Stockton played Love in, one-on-one but he's not a natural finisher and took it too far.

Ripley playing in the same colours as Forest Green!

[Keith]

Aggghhhh!!!!

Phillips did really well, rounded the keeper but his shot took a deflection, hit the bar and bounced straight in to the keeper's arms! So unlucky.

Playing well so far.

[Born again Bill]

Still not getting any luck in front of goal

[Keith]

Delany just headed way over from about six yards following a corner! It was more of a defender's clearing header than a chance to score

[Keith]

FFS!

It was a cracking goal, but they've offered nothing so far.

[Redalert1970]

1 down - against the run of play

We are in massive massive trouble

[Born again Bill]

Oh dear

[Angler1]

We are losing to a sh#te team. Lose this game and we are doomed.. its bloody infuriating...

[Keith]

Prior to the goal, there was a bit of a 'get together' When Shaw nudged their lad as he went off the pitch. He then fell in to the home dug out. He swung an arm out at Shaw, who went down like he'd shot.

Handbags ensued. Eventually, their lad got a yellow card. Now I don't understand that? "Retaliation" is an automatic red card, so either, sending off, or nothing?

[Born again Bill]

We have had the chances , just clueless in front of goal !

[dannymorc1]

We are playing well but need to calm down. All the aggravation minutes ago lead to a loss of concentration. Come on lads, we can win this.

[Redalert1970]

Get another defender on LOL

Exactly what I was going to say. FGR on top since they scored, our heads have gone.

Gibbo off for Cooney?

[Redalert1970]

Where are the goals coming from never mind the wins ????

[Potted Shrimp]

I personally think we can turn this around still.

[Old Man Kensey]

I'll be the first to go early...
League 2 next season.

[Keith]

Good save from Rawson's shot!

[Keith]

GET IN!!! Phillips!!!

Great shot from Phillips, well saved. Rebound picked by Weir [I think], who played Phillips back in. He beat two players before finishing nicely.

[Redalert1970]

At last.... Defend properly and this is winnable

Certainly can`t afford to lose

[Redalert1970]

Did Gibson go off injured ???

[Potted Shrimp]

I'll be the first to go early...
League 2 next season.

We can still do this.

[Keith]

Did Gibson go off injured ???

I think he must have, he'd been playing well until then. One of their players was down getting treatment. I saw the fourth official get the 'substitution' board ready, and assumed it was for their lad, but Gibson went off.

[Bristol Shrimp]

So deflating to know that your already doomed by mid-September.

Although I am not surprised, investment in the squad has been nowhere near good enough for League one level and we don't have a decent striker as CS isn't 10% of the player he was last season.

The first relegation in the clubs history awaits, hopefully we will be competitive in L2 - many teams that get relegated from L1 suffer back to back relegations.

Wow.

[dannymorc1]

A bit more luck in front of goal and we could have been 1-3 up. I still think that if the players keep their heads, we CAN WIN this. We have another player in Phillips who can score us the goals we need.
COME ON YOU MORECAMBE REDS.
