Not feeling confident, but that doesn't mean I don't believe.

Not feeling confident, but that doesn't mean I don't believe.

I'd actually quite like that line up, if it was against a team near the bottom, in our 'relegation mini-league'. Fane breaking play up in front of the defence, with Shaw & Connolly getting forward more, and Stockton & Phillips attacking. But today, our best squad, with everyone available, would still be tough v Ipswich. Still looks more attack minded than anything else lately.

100% commitment is all we can ask for and hope Ipswich have an off day.

There's always hope!!

Ref isn't giving us anything, but a soft nudge on their lad, straight to a free-kick in a dangerous area.

[Keith]

Another soft free-kick given to Ipswich! Come on ref, some consistency please!

[AndyReifman]

Not a terrible start so far in terms of chances

[Keith]

Good chance for us, excellent free-kick which Rawson was only inches away from. Good start.

[Keith]

Another soft free-kick given to Ipswich! Come on ref, some consistency please!

Okay, I'll let him off now! Definite penalty to Ipswich for me, Fane bundling their lad over. His previous tackle, that was a free-kick was less clear.

[Keith]

Ref's having a mare already! Ipswich free-kick for a foul on Phillips!

Fane now on a yellow, but it could easily have been red.

[Bristol Shrimp]

Not a bad start though! Fane on a yellow could be a problem though, maybe a half time switch for McLoughlin?

[AndyReifman]

Another really good chance. Having a tough time staying onside.

Fane with a couple of superb tackles and set up a great move for us, but also a yellow card and two awful passes that led to good chances for Ipswich.

Delaney yellow now, too.

GET IN!!!!!!

Phillips! Lovely goal!!!

[AndyReifman]

Yessssss!!!! Absolutely beautifully worked.

[Keith]

40 minutes: Morecambe 4 shots, Ipswich 0 shots.

Good first half so far.

[AndyReifman]

Not a bad first half. A bit nervy at points, especially near the end, but good to be on top. Desperately need to keep our focus in the second half and keep pushing for that second goal.

[Keith]

40 minutes: Morecambe 4 shots, Ipswich 0 shots.

Good first half so far.

Last five minutes Ipswich suddenly clicked in to life, hitting the post and a couple more shots.

Another 45 minutes like the first will do us fine!

How is Leif Davis playing?

[Keith]

How is Leif Davis playing?

Looking good going forwards, trying to get on the overlap, but caught off-side a couple of times. Not a bad game, but definitely not as good as Gibson, who has had a great first half.

[Keith]

WOW!

We were on the attack but a soft pass intercepted, smart break and a great shot that hit the post! That's the first sixty seconds!

[Keith]

LOL! Now Love hits his own crossbar! 48 minutes!

[Keith]

Ipswich battering us in the first five minutes of second half!

[Keith]

No arguments

Davies corner.

[AndyReifman]

Tough luck but plenty of time left.
