[Scouseport_Shrimp]

Yaaaaay.....time for another pint.

[Keith]

I've put Rovers commentary on, to hear what they think of us... ...they've called us Accrington, twice in the first eight minutes!!!

Love having a great game. Wonder what will be said on Facebook tonight???

[dannymorc1]

Definitely own goal for 2nd, BUT WHAT A SHOT FOR THE THIRD.

[Keith]

Rovers having a good spell now, and really should have scored one just now.

[Keith]

Stockton!!! What a great ball from Crowley!

Superb goal!

[AndyReifman]

RIPLEY!!! What a signing that man has been for this club.

[Keith]

Another penalty saved by Ripley!

[dannymorc1]

It's got to be our day. We have looked a completely different team. Got the four goals back to help the goal difference. Keep it tight lads.
COME ON YOU MORECAMBE REDS.

[Keith]

Crowley off for Hunter. Crowley probably MotM, but plenty of others in it too, including Love.

[Keith]

Mayor!

Rovers commentary...

"Mayor, heading for the penalty area, but he's over run it... ...oh, no, he's still got it and, oh, Mayor just stroked the ball in to the net"

Absolutely amazing performance from MORECAMBE SUPER REDS.

[Redalert1970]

Amazing result

Bet Ripley will be gutted not having clean sheet

[Keith]

FGR were winning, then Shrewsbury scored in 90+4 & 90+9!!!!

[black morse]

They had more shots than us, more shots on target and more corners plus 70% of the play and we won 5-1 Brilliant!

Now for Derby!

[Redalert1970]

Derek Ball lol lol

31 percent possession at home and win 5 - 1

[dannymorc1]

It's in our hands to climb up the league now. This squad have just shown guts and confidence and should be proud of todays performance. Onwards and upwards.

[Bristol Shrimp]

People moaning about GD after Tuesday night well its back as it was and far superior to those around us.

[Keith]

They've given it to Mellon. Whispering it quietly, I think his shot was going well wide.

It has now been given as an 'own goal'. Shame for Mellon, not scoring on his home debut, but at least I've now got enough space to edit the thread title a bit better!

[Wild Bill]

Classic Derek today. New signings were excellent. Shrimps are staying up IMO

[BerlinWaller]

Unreal performance from every lad in a red shirt, that was special.

Derek is the King of Morecambe

[glagys]

Must admit great performance today
Crowley looks a class act they should be offering him an extended contract now


But still a poor refereeing performance

[CityShrimp]

5 goals from 5 shots on target all game

A well deserved win though - we played really effective football going forwards. A few wobbles defensively.

Good decision from Derek to keep Rawson in the starting 11 - he could easily have kept in Delaney instead but Rawson proved his worth, dealing with all of Bristols aerial balls.

Donald Love had possibly his best game in a Morecambe shirt. Good involvement going forwards and loads of interceptions to win us back possession.

Crowley had a sensational debut and looks simply too good for us.

Simeu looks combative and a good addition.

Mellon didn’t do loads but hopefully will find his feet and grow in confidence.

Finally… some great play from Stockton and there were shades of last season with his well taken finish. Hope he can score a few more now.

I thought Mellon was fantastic. He won headers, ran at defenders and got shots away. I thought he played really well and looked a step up from Phillips.

Anyone know why the kids holding the flags as the teams come on to the pitch are wearing claret & blue? Where are they from?

From the Burnley Junior section to welcome Mellon on his home loan debut.

Or could it be Overton and Middleton Junior school kids. Nice touch from the club to get local schools and their families into the ground and involved!
