Morecambe v Derby (A) Matchday thread

[BuckoBeast]

Dobbin really stood out tonight 

[Sparkle]

I fully expect us to beat Liverpool next week 

[vonwright]

- 27 shots

- Two missed penalties

- One (deflected) goal

Can't blame the tactics for that.

Look on the bright side:

We still have a club.

Paper thin squad with the same 12/13 players being used again. I’ll take the point but very frustrating missing two pens.

Cashin suspended for MK Dons. Another one down. Need bodies back asap. 

[SillyBilly]

Well, 2 points lost based on the standard of opposition. Really frustrating we're not putting more points on the board. Sibley MOTM for me, better delivery than Hourihane IMO from corners. Every ball was put right into the danger area.

Very poor result against a team that will get relegated to L2

Thompson’s confidence isn’t getting any better playing in the first team

Liam Thompson needs removing as far away from the first team set up as possible, done absolutely naff all every opportunity he’s had. How many chances does he get?

You need players like Thommo though. Squad fillers, local lad on probably rubbish wages and won’t complain about his position.

aND A GROUND EVERY BIT AS SHINeY AS mOREcOMBE'S ?

[Jourdan]

Was Tyson Fury watching on in the stands?

Maybe the players didn’t want to upset him?

Would explain a lot.

[Gee SCREAMER !!]

F me that was thrown away.  That team we played were incredibly poor, they'll be relegated. The wasting of opportunities is getting beyond ridiculous as is the poor defensive play giving teams goals.  Does any team have to work for a goal against us.  Last actual decent goal against was Wycombe's..  That first half on Saturday was some weird aberration.

Collins has a very decent record with penalties but I am not so sure about McGoldrick - either way muppets today with them 

I’d go with cashin’s silky left foot. Takes them like Ashley Cole

The points continue to slip away. 

Let's just accept mid table for this season. 

There’s still a long way to go, we’re only 2 points outside the top six, have players to come back from injury and may be able to strengthen slightly in January. We could still mathematically finish anywhere from top to bottom of the table. 
 

My plan is to accept we got a point away from home tonight and have a cup game to focus on on Sunday.

If we had more depth, a spell on loan even in league 2 or lower, would either make or break him. He needs to find himself as a player to me.

Best position- midfield for Matlock

Rooney (and Oduroh) still haven't played in the league. That'll be because Warne doesn't thunk they're ready yet, so I can't see either being given a start at this stage.

Something else to note. Cashin needs to avoid picking up another yellow in the next 4 games or is suspended for 1 match.

Spot on. Warne reluctant to use Rooney and Oduroh. Cashin now suspended

He only came on in the 85th minute
