4600 + I think I heard

Ok, cheers

Worst home performance for ages ! Newby doesn't like playing on the right and we only looked threatening when Dallas and Eccleston came on. Another poor goal conceded. Passing in opposition half none existent and the crossing at times was sunday league!!!!

That was as bad as I’ve seen in a long time.
Didn’t look great defensively and a very poor morecambe team looked more dangerous throughout.
Our forwards are powder puff but got little service. Kouyate was awful couldn’t pass water, needed to come off at halftime. Foley our best player was then taken off - bizarre. And Garner I thought was our more dangerous looking forward and he too was taken off.
Campbell and Foley aside no one else can take any credit from that.
Poor conditions windy but Morecambe mastered it slightly better. Derby games are always close but apart from hitting the post we never looked like scoring.

Poor - the sooner the injured players come back the better as some of these just aren’t up to it at this level.

Well done Morecambe a great win for you in terrible conditions, hope you guys go on to have a good season.

We created very little and when we did we didn’t quite have the composure to finish well. Great to see Robbie back in the fold let’s hope we get our other guys back soon we need em.

Why does Clemence take Feely off every game? Just start Eccleston if he’s poor (which he is). Drop garner and start Dallas who actually shoots and looks dangerous. The sooner Farman, Canavan and Mahoney are back the better we will be. It was positive to see gotts back on the pitch and it was good to see some of the new fans who went to Chelsea appearing today, where has everyone been?

A few weeks ago I took some stick for saying Jackson was a good player but needed to take 10% power off his free kicks and shots. I take that back. He needs to take off about 50-60%.

Guarantee any floaters who watched that today won’t be back.

Most of the additional fans that came today won't be back after that !

Dallas needs a run in the side from the off.

Totally agree but Clemence when he took Foley off should have put Gotts on , we Totally went from bad to worse !Morecambe were better organised than us and on the pitch we lacked leadership, we tend to overplay every pass no one will take the ball into the danger area's no one will take responsibility, so disappointing, the conditions were horrendous but if you don't do the basics you get punished, Kouyate he needs to be coached it's as though he's in a training match !

Carlisle and Morcambe have won 3 games between them - 2 against us ! That stat alone is just [SwearFilter] poor and where are we next week ? Accrington who are right down there with those 2 teams - got to improve and start getting some points.

They never do, (until the next big game) even if we had won 5-0, same old sh*t, we’ve got a core of just over 3k which is great from what we used to get.

Disappointing performance hardly any chances created by us, but only 11 games played and as SC just said on RC, sometimes you learn more from losing

Don’t fault his subs. He was trying to be positive to win the game. Morecambe sucker punch was always the risk. The one bit of quality into the box won it for them.

Terrible weather but that’s not an excuse. We needed to be a lot better in the final third. Don’t know what’s up with Tiensia but he never gets a chance.

Sometimes Jonty a point is better than nothing, when he took Feely and Foley off we weakened the side Eccleston is a terrible defender good in the air but his general awareness is shocking when Foley went off we brought Spence back didn't make sense ,Gardner was doing OK Aqua is no good in conditions like that he can't control a ball at the best of times!

Bottled it in front of a big crowd and rival game once again.

Clemance out

You just knew it - lost both derby games to bottom and 2nd bottom in the league.

Morecambe's first clean sheet in 25 games, for goodness sake.

What further evidence is needed re. the quality of our forwards.

I agree with others:

* Telford is waste of space - has been since his arrival.

* Kouyate tries to dribble and beat 2 or 3 defenders at speed - but he has NO ball control.

* Jackson thinks he's kicking 2 points through the uprights at Craven Park.

* There was a positive - 4600 attendance. Might be the high of the season.

I will repay the Shrimps for what they did today and will never go to Happy Mount Park again!
