I don't care what anyone else does unless it impacts us.

very disappointing result IMO

Yes I did watch it. We were absolutely dire first half and bang average second. Injuries begging to bite. As for not many teams will get an easy ride, perhaps try looking at the league table, most teams have upto now.

Agree first half, they’re not a team that look like they’ll get hammered. As you say we’re depleted and at least we dug in second half, those are the points that keep you going, need to win next weekend at home though.

I mean, we're looking like the patchwork team we are. Sorely missing any consistency in starting XI. In an ideal world we'd have greater strength in depth, but I'm liking the look of a lot of the players coming through.

Morecambe almost won that through intensity today. Grant, Martin, Brown, and to a lesser extent Abbott still look a little lightweight for L2 to me. When their physical presence matches their skill, we'll be a better squad.

We're entitled to our own opinions, but for me Didzy was the difference between us and a loss to the bottom team today.

We look ordinary all of a sudden.
When we have too few special players, you see just how many very ordinary ones we have.

Delighted for Platt, another MoM game deserving his first goal for the club.

I'll agree with that , could well be a very good point come end of the season.

Thought Austin played well again.

[Robertomac]

Disappointing performance. We didn't look up for a scrap. Made worse by the fact Morecambe are really nothing special, yet dictated the game in spells. Too many players being carried ATM and not doing anything to influence the game.

At least we didn't lose.

Boss was very evasive about Jodi injury, tried to avoid answering the question

I think the truth is we are a good solid side with a bit magic dust, I.e Crowley, Jones, Mcgoldrick and I think that’s probably what we should be if we want to go up. Think there’s a few green shoots too, Abbott, Brown and the new lad, just hope we keep in touch with the top 3, don’t see why not.
