Morecambe 4 [Tollitt x2, Brown, Hope] Forest 2 LIVE thread

[Phoenix Shrimp 2017]

No replay on iFollow, so not 100% sure what happened. Looked like a save that bounced back into play and somehow was deflected back into the goal. Lots of Morecambe players appealed, but no idea what for.

Probably appealed for the ref to end the game and save us any further embarrassment!

You may be adding Williams to that list, he's down, getting lengthy treatment.

[Keith]

Williams hobbles off, Songo'o on.

[Redalert1970]

Bloody hell ... Williams off now - Songo on

Any chance we can get the Barrow game called OFF

[Phoenix Shrimp 2017]

Get some extra beds in the physio room. Quick. Dropping like bloody flies!

[Keith]

We ended the first half quite well, but second half, we've gone crap again, struggling to string three passes together. Need to pick this up again.

[Phoenix Shrimp 2017]

Our only hope is if some of the Forest kids have to come off early for school in the morning!

[marky No.1]

Was an own goal.
Wigan go above us on goal difference, so we don't qualify as it stands

[Redalert1970]

2 - 2

Charlie Brown

I've said this before, this competition should begin as a pre-season tournament. Play the group stages Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday the week before the season starts. Attendances would be the same, if not higher. Weather would be better (no need for floodlights). Kids off school etc. It would also free up time in the actual season.

Instead, at a time when players need resting, we're picking up more injuries.

2-2! Brown after an excellent cross from Lewis!

[Phoenix Shrimp 2017]

Thank god for Adam Lewis. A shining light in a dismal season.

[Redalert1970]

As it stands we would just need a draw from the last game

If we can get a winner we would be through if Wigan carry on winning at Carlisle

[Keith]

Need to pick this up again.

And we have. Last ten minutes or so, we've been the better side. Forest with a bit of an attack, but we've been looking better.

If it is level, it goes to penalties for a 'bonus point'. That would be enough to guarantee qualifying.

[Keith]

Nicely! Hope with a lovely turn and finish!

[Redalert1970]

There is HOPE

3 2 now

IF we can hold on we are through

Blimey, anyone else in shock, we've p!$$Ed this tinpot League

[Phoenix Shrimp 2017]

Will there be a Trust coach to Wembley?

[Redalert1970]

This trophy as had its critics but it is a trip to Wembley if you get that far

[Phoenix Shrimp 2017]

It’s all going off now! Code Green just announced over the tannoy. Long time since we had one of them!

One of the recent winning clubs reckon it was worth about a million pounds.

[Keith]

Brown off for Academy lad, Mercer, for his debut.

[Keith]

Tollitt with a cracker! 25 yrs, low shot.

[Redalert1970]

4 -2 now

Tollit again

[AndyReifman]

These Forest youngsters must be truly terrible.

If only we could score this easily in the league.
