That referee was bloody terrible.  How can he keep giving their goalkeeper a free kick when it's the keeper making the challenge?


He appeared to finally give up actually judging things around the 55 minute mark and started guessing from them on.

Great shout.  It's like he couldn't be bothered to concentrate any more and just became completely whistle happy.

I think as bad as Morecambe were, especially first half, Adams had them fairly well organised playing really deep nullifying Mollyneux & Gibson, I can only remember us getting in behind a couple of times first half, which had they go in changes the game & our 2nd half performance completely.

Much as I dislike the guy Adams had his team of mostly poor players (Slew & the Liverpool lad aside), playing like they could take something from the game, & our poor ball retention was helping them to do that. Thankfully our defence kept them out & deservedly kept a clean sheet & 3 points.

I think the perfectly reasonable concern is that we've played three of the bookies' top 4 favourites to go down, and we haven't really got a system working yet.

We've got 6 points, which is great of course, but we are going to have to play a lot better than we've done to date if we are going to get anything from the next two games.

I have to disagree with the “system” comments. We have proven goals all over the pitch so whatever system we are playing it is smack bang in the face working. In the last 2 games we have 2 goals but could have easily been 5,6,7….? And I agree that’s when we have played below parr. I hope we don’t change system anytime soon.

My first game of the season and I thought we were ok and comfortably the better side. We should have scored two or three more.

Yes, things to work on and some improvement required in certain parts of the pitch.

However, a big difference to a year ago.

Negative - the three sides we have beaten thus season are currently bottom, third bottom and fifth bottom. The side we lost against is in the play off places.

Are you serious?

Any average football game could be 5-5 if everyone took their chances all the time, but they don’t.

The Accrington game could have easily been 1-1. Three amazing finishes that are hard to replicate.

My point being we are creating numerous guilt edged chances whereas we last season and the season before we went many games creating nothing. While we aren’t at our fluent best and still scoring goals I don’t think it’s too much of a bad thing.
