Might please some fans! Donald Love substituted. Replaced by Cooney. Due to injury.

[dannymorc1]

We're not getting the ball to the front players. Lots of possession, but nothing to show. This is going to be a nervous watch!

It's not a good watch!

I can't work out how we're set up? Stockton looks to be up front on his own?

3-4-2-1 with Hunter & Crowley pushing up to make it 3-4-2 when attacking? Stockton has barely touched the ball in the first 35 minutes.

[dannymorc1]

What's going on? This is a must win game and we are second best at the moment. Has Stockton touched the ball yet? Yes just now. Got to get a grip and get the passing game going.

FGR looking more likely to score at the moment. Why have we changed a winning formula?

Why indeed. We are a shadow of the team that thrashed Bristol Rovers.

[Keith]

Superb save by Ripley, but hurt himself in doing so (he hit the post). It was a nailed on free-kick that led to the shot on target.

It would be nice if we could have a shot on target...

[Keith]

We need to improve a lot in the second half. FGR had the only opportunities so far.

[Redalert1970]

Sounds like a shocker .... 1 shot on target against team bottom of league mmmm

[dannymorc1]

Very disappointed with our performance so far. We don't look at all fired up for this game. FGR have worked their way into the game and have looked more likely to score. I hope that Derek is giving them a roasting in the dressing room. We need a far more urgent approach in the second half.
COME ON YOU MORECAMBE REDS.

[Keith]

Mayor is on, which may help.

Substitute Cooney, substituted.

[Keith]

Two up front against Bristol Rovers, we score five and could have had eight.
Playing the bottom of the league, in a must win game, revert to one up front. Zero shots in the first hour. Finally had a shot on target.

If we were playing a decent team, we'd be losing by now, as FGR have had the only clear cut chances.

WHY CHANGE A WINNING FORMULA???

We've improved a bit with Mayor on, but not much.

Still 0-0 but we really, really need a goal.

[dannymorc1]

We need some changes now. At the moment I can only see FGR scoring. We are so poor, it's unbelievable?

[Keith]

Hunter>Austerfield
Shaw>Mellon

Two up front?

[Keith]

Absolutely predictable. What the ***k is Adams thinking? We're playing FOREST GREEN who were BOTTOM OF THE LEAGUE, and we play one up front???

[Redalert1970]

Awful performance

Awful result

We are in big big big trouble

[dannymorc1]

Got just what we deserved. We have been terrible. Play teams above us and perform well. Play bottom team and play crap. It's been coming for ages.

[Redalert1970]

1 1

Get out of that jail

[Keith]

Well played by Mellon.

Time for a winner?

[dannymorc1]

Brilliant goal by Stockton. Now just keep them out.

[Redalert1970]

Could be a crucial point but 2 points dropped in my opinion

[dannymorc1]

Why did we take until the last 5 minutes to start playing? Why were the changes made so late.
I hope that Derek watches this back and sees the mistakes. That was a most frustrating watch!!!

[Keith]

It was a huge point, because it stops Forest Green closing the gap on us. A defeat, and they'd only have been three points behind us. And most of the sides around us drew.

But it was a dreadful performance. Why did we go back to one up front, when it doesn't work? A decent team would have hammered us today. Now Derek's returned to 'play Stockton up front on his own, and don't try to win' routine, we're going to get thrashed. Sheffield Wednesday can rest their first team on Tuesday, and play their under 18's if we line up like that again.

Scoring five against Bristol Rovers feels like a long, long time ago.

[lancaster shrimp]

Could be an oh so valuable point even though we were s***t. Some people are so over dramatic on here.
