Senior or Tutonda MotM for me. Probably Senior due to the goal.

This is one of those games you just want to be over! Edge of the seat stuff.

Exactly what I was thinking!!!

Nooooo, Garner should have killed the game! One on one but messed it up. Superb play from Senior.

Garner>Melbourne

Ged Ged Ged. Second goal not gonna happen.

Can we hold on? 86 minutes plus any added time. YES WE CAN. (I hope)

YES WE DID. WELL DONE MORECAMBE REDS.

Shit thought they’d got one at the death. How the hell was Edwards booked just before!

I don't know. It looked as if he was wrestled to the ground.

[Phoenix Shrimp 2017]

Banana skin avoided there! Thought we played very well in the second half just couldn’t put the ball in the net. Good 3 points.

Adams gets rugby tackled, ref ignored it. Edwards went racing in and shoved their player, so ref gives Sutton a free-kick???

Commentary team...

JJ: "WHAT?!?!?"
Moore: "How is that their free-kick? I don't know what the ref has seen there?"

Even professional players were confused by the refs decisions.

Excellent performance. Battled well but plenty of skill too. Should have been a more comfortable victory, so it was nervous at the end, but a good game. This is the type of match where, in the past, we'd be dragged down to their level.

Clean sheet, home win. Good stuff.

We will play much better and lose but that's a MASSIVE three points

Geds 1st home league win

Edwards wasn't fouled, it was Adams. Edwards raced in an pushed their player. The yellow card was correct, but if the ref had given the foul for the rugby tackle in the first place, it wouldn't have happened.

I really don't know what you didn't like? I thought everyone played well. We fought for everything, but broke with speed & skill. We could have won by a larger margin, but the whole team played well. I enjoyed the game, albeit, with some stress towards the end of the game!

[Redalert1970]

Just a shame Mk Dons and Harrogate got last minute winners but play offs still in range

[redrobo]

Not a game for the purists but a home win v against an aggressive Sutton and a very poor referee.

When oh when refs realize the play acting by an opposition who fell down at every given opportunity...

Sutton were a team of giants but coped well with them especially the back 4.

Pleased that GBs got his first home win.....more to follow.

Typical banana skin that remained unpeeled....

[Old Man Kensey]

The balance looked so much better after Slew came on. His decision making was spot on today.

[shrimp riddle]

Ged got the subs spot on today.

[Wild Bill]

Missed the goal but good to see a win finally. Should have scored more

[Billy bodger]

Slew and Edward’s made us a lot better. I like Taylor playing deeper in that holding role, he reads the game well. Thou Ged took his goal well, he should have had an hat-trick. Senior was my man of match. (Carlise realised him!!!!)We missed him against Colchester and lastly Khumbeni combatting all the way through the game till he came off.

[scalehallshrimp]

What do we think of garner, issued an absolute sitter and bit earlier should have tried to beat the defended but tried to beat a good goalie from a silly angle. Really not sure about him even though scored 3

[scalehallshrimp]

Still a great result,early goal thenstruggled til subs came on and we created loads of chances,for a deserved win. Our goalie not really troubled

[fulwoodshrimp]

I think the jury is out about Garner. Yes, he has scored 3 goals in the last two games but probably should have scored more. I felt Mellon would have got a hat trick today. I thought the referee was very poor and the game could easily have got out of hand.

[Redalert1970]

Garner misses chances like all strikers but leave the poor lad alone

3 in 3 not a bad start
