⚽ Match Thread vs. Morecambe 28.09.24 [EFL L2]

[TSANHO]

Just seen St Johnstone lost 6-0 this afternoon….and Cameron was subbed after 34 minutes, ouch.

[Evesham Pie]

Not a Cameron fan but in fairness he was subbed off with what looked like a hamstring injury.

You might add it was a hamstring and it was 0-0 at that point

And they were up against Celtic who hammer pretty much everyone in Scottish Football.

Just got back. Not a great day. First half we were out manned and out played.
2nd half, we weren’t much better tbh. Criticism aimed at a few wrong players imo, but our fans always have scape goats and rose tinted specs. Ref wasn’t brill, but not convinced about some of the abuse given to the Lino on our side. Female or not, not sure we did ourselves proud there. Hey ho.

Thought the obvious time wasting was a bit out of order. I know all teams do it, but it don’t half wind me up when their manager and assistant make is so fecking obvious and their keeper spend so much time “injured” on instruction.
Long drive back after that.

Just got back as well and agree with all of that. The timewasting by the keeper was pathetic but under the current laws I’m not sure what refs can do. Didn’t hear any abuse of the lino from the terrace, thought she was pretty decent.

There’s no dressing it up, we were effing awful today and fully deserved to lose if that one at the end had gone in. Their goal was a joke, we lost the midfield battle, and upfront we were pretty much non existent until the last 20 ish minutes. Its evident that we’re very very reliant on 4 players to do our attacking for us, and if like today 2 of them are absent even from an easier looking away game, we are going to struggle to create a threat. Our goal came from the one time we got in behind them.

Far, far too many passengers.

We were sat about mid way up and heard her called some horrible stuff. And then the same bloody fan had the cheek to shout at their manager at the end “stop picking on her, she’s a lass, be polite.”

Good morning all from Arizona. A balmy 43 C here today. COYP!

What's Tucson like? Snog, marry, avoid?

[OldBanksy]

Yeah that would have probably been ideal but at the same time difficult to get to. You can play 2 up but we don’t very often. I think the bigger issue probably is the question over Scott? Is he good enough? I don’t know the answer, but conceivably even one up front if we had Jatta and Didzy, no Scott, you could go out and tempt a lot a of strikers with the promise of decent game time.

Which strikers could you tempt? Name names.
Jatta might be a goalscorer. His goals per minutes top so far. Is he a 'footballer'?
Didsy certainly a footballer. Is he a 10 or a goalscorer over a season?
How many goals could Scott score with a run at CF?

[jackal2]

It’s almost as if those of us labelled ‘bed-wetters’ had legitimate concerns about certain aspects of the squad.

Depends what you mean. If the concern is that Jodi Jones simply cannot be replaced then that's probably true, but most teams in the league don't have one player as good as him, let alone cover. Jones and Crowley are players that a club at this level are incredibly privileged to have at all, and if either is injured then you pretty much have to accept we won't be the same (creative) force, but still try to grind out as many points as you can. It's credit to the other players that they hung in there and rescued a point today.
