Feel like this should have been considered a really good shot at our first win of the season. With injuries it'll be a close thing. Still think we can do it though.

[Keith]

1-0, but could easily be 2-0 with just five minutes gone!

[Redalert1970]

Great start ...we need 2nd now

[Angler1]

1-0 but should be 2 possibly 3-0. Must start taking our chances .. but if it finishes 1-0 then that will do.

[Redalert1970]

We need a 2nd to finish these off cos they will have chances

Could be a massive result with Carlisle, Cheltenham and Swindon losing

[Keith]

Could easily be 4-1! We need to get a second goal to grab a breathing space, and to turn their fans on them!

[Redalert1970]

Fans on their forum have already turned on them

[Keith]

Hope, Slew on
Dackers & Tollitt off

[Keith]

Lewis >Macadam

[Redalert1970]

1 1

Just cant keep a clean sheet ...such a shame

[Keith]

FFS 1-1 scramble bundled in. We should have had five by now.

[Redalert1970]

Thats the reason we are struggling keith ... not finishing teams off

[Angler1]

As I said earlier until we learn to put our chances away this will keep happening . This game should have been over by halftime..

[P/T Indie]

We should have had five but our only goal was an own goal which explains everything.

[Redalert1970]

Smashing game ...really enjoyed it

Morecambe 16 shots 4 on target
Bradford 14 shots 4 on target

Morecambe better team 1st half - Bradford better team 2nd half

Unlucky not too hold on but 4 without defeat now at least

Massive game at Accy on Saturday

[Billy bodger]

I think everybody was thinking the same thing we needed a second goal. We were all fearful of either a lapse in concentration, a mistake, another poor official’s decision or a well crafted goal away from disappointment and one of those things happened in the 88th minute.
Our finishing has to be better and we will be fine, I think that is another thing everyone agrees on.
Big game Sat and we need to be the dominant team with our chances being taken a win will be very very welcome.

[redrobo]

As much as I loathe Bratford a draw was the correct result.

First half we were exceptional but needed a second goal and with the chances we had should have gone in at half time 3 up'

BUT second 45 Bratford took control and it was no surprise when the scabbed a late equalizer.

If only we had the legs to play like we did for the first 45 for the entire 90 ( and other games) we would be well placed in the league.

Fortunately Accy and Carlisle lost but had we been a wee bit more clinicla we would have moved above Carlilsle.

This weekend sees the battle of the bottom two...what's the betting it's another draw.....

We need a bit of quality up front if we are to continue in League 2. Our general play is good but we squander valuable chances.

I’d like to see Charlie Brown play alongside Dackers think he could play off Dackers flick on’s
and perhaps be the firepower we need

Derek clearly doesn't see a role for him. Didn't play him when he was manager before and even though he had him on the bench last night it was probably only because of shortage of players.

Dobson and Fairclough also made the bench so that is probably a correct assumption. Can't understand why he doesn't get a look in though, Derek was the one who originally signed him after all. Hopefully he gets some minutes in the EFL trophy next week.

[Keith]

He has been injured (bad back?) so maybe still not fully fit?

But if he is fit, I'd like to see this too. Dackers is tall and strong, but nimble and can play a ball too, so it could be a good mix.
