Morecambe 3 (Mellon x2, McKearnan) Bradford 0

[AndyReifman]

The Derek and Songo'o Derby.

Hoping for a good performance today.

[AndyReifman]

GET IN!

Love a good free-kick goal. Brilliantly taken.

[Keith]

Great start, we're playing well.

[AndyReifman]

Decent first half.

Would need to see a replay of that last move to see if it should have been a pen, but on first viewing it certainly looked like it wouldn't be unfair to give.

[Keith]

I didn't think it was a pen. Excellent opening 30 ish min, but they came in to it for a while.

I'm concerned that Songo'o is on a yellow card. He's had a couple of close calls for a second yellow.

Playing well, Bradford fans booed them off at half-time.

Need to boost our goal difference. How soon do we play away at Wrexham so we can do that!!!! A good friend of mine lives in Wrexham and he is mortified at how they are performing!!

[Keith]

Bradford on top this half, we're riding our luck a bit.

[Keith]

GET I!!!

Ref played advantage to us, good move and a lovely finish from JJ!

Derek got a lot of abuse from their fans...
ONE DEREK ADAMS

[AndyReifman]

Get in! Fantastic goal.

[Hodgie1978]

How have we played?
I'm holiday in the Netherlands but on tenterhooks here.

[Keith]

Penalty!

Mellon... 3-0!

[AndyReifman]

Didn't realize we were allowed to get pens!

A fantastic match.

Played really well. Bradford have had periods on top, but we've been the better side. Bradford fans leaving in droves!

[ianmcm]

Up to sixth!

[Redalert1970]

Bratfud have just been DEREK ADAMSED

GET INNNNNNNNN

[Keith]

Never seen Derek so pleased at the end of a game! Waving goodbye to their fans, thumbs up to us all. Ref should have given a free kick & red card in time added on, but didn't give anything, but generally had a good game.

And we got a penalty!!!

[Redalert1970]

Bratfud forum is in MEGA MELTDOWN it`s hilarious

Loads of them wanting HUGHES gone tonight !!!!

Quite a few agreeing with Derek about waving their fans off (he took pelters off them - great to see him giving it back)

[Old Man Kensey]

Now that was fantastic. Totally controlled it and we got a penalty given!

[Wild Bill]

What a result. Starting to think we might actually do well this season. COYS

[black morse]

Brilliant!!!! And the next one please

[fulwoodshrimp]

A really good performance and clear signs of the players gelling together. Suspect my concerns earlier were misplaced and my worries about possible relegation wrong. DA has done well in his recruitment.

[Phoenix Shrimp 2017]

What a superb result. First home game missed in ages due to hols and what a game to miss! Now if we can sort out the away form!

[BerlinWaller]

Long live the King

I think we've had enough seasons scrapping in League Two to be allowed some pessimism at the start of a season. Still getting used to looking for us at the top of a league table.

[black morse]

As I said above....a brilliant result but (and i expect I'll get some stick here) whilst we can hope for this to be the turning point in our club's fortunes it is one good result. An excellent result but one good result. The pessimism was rife only a week ago after the Mansfield game so by all means grasp the hope and celebrate today's win but add a bit of realism and see where we are after 10 games.
