Morecambe (A) F.L.Trophy 1st round, Tue Sept 1st, 7.45pm

[Soton Saddler]

Morecambe 1 - 3 Walsall

Lalkovic, Cook (2)

[PT]

Baxendale gets a start. Big game for him. He's right on the fringes of the 18 these days and probably needs to put in a performance to keep his place on the bench.

Nice to see Preston and Kinsella getting a start too.

The lack of cover through the spine is evident again though. O'Connor, Chambers, Mantom and Super Tom all start. These four must be knackered and whilst we have decent cover everywhere else it seems these four are unrotatable and there must be a concern for when one or more of them are unavailable.

Any local Morecambe radio stations doing commentary does anyone know? I know WM has it but don't think you can listen online to commentary

How many goalies are we playing tonight?

According to the chap on BBC Radio Dingle, we have Macgilifray, maligfray, mafilgray and malifgray between the sticks.

[Mrdollabill]

seems like a very dry game at the moment, hope we pick up the pace a bit soon.

[Welsh_Saddler]

I see Morecambe have only named 4 substitutes, as opposed to our 5. Half-time and it's 0-0....we've had twice as many goal attempts (9 against 4) and 3 of ours have been on target, against 0 for the Shrimps. Easy night for MacGillivray so far - wait until it gets to penalties though !! :D

[Mrdollabill]

where is rico? not even on the bench, might have been a bid for him today that failed maybe?

[Welsh_Saddler]

Obviously I've missed out on this ....... one of our subs (Number 30) is named as "Jezeph" - can anybody enlighten me on his background?

Many thanks - I thought Liam Roberts was our third choice keeper - or is he out on loan somewhere? :?

Gresley I believe

[saddla]

1-0 down :evil:

[SoccerHQ]

1-0, ah well.

Last season's run was fun but genuinely can't say this competition is on the list of priorities for this season.

[BarnsleySaddler]

Woops that`s torn it. 1.0 :( down now for the comeback. :D

[Mrdollabill]

oh well think it'll be 1-1 then penalties oh well just dont want the unbeaten run to end thats all

[saddla]

Here comes the cavalry - 3 subs coming on!

Cook , Sawyers and Forde for Milan, Morris and Bax

[Sadders]

2-0.

We've absolutely hammered them. Couldn't finish our dinner. Coming back to haunt us. Hope it doesn't dent confidence.

Think of Southampton at home when we won 1-0, Macken scored. It's roles reversed.

[SaddlerCraig]

fudge
2-0

Morecombe on the counter, lot to do but while there's still time still hope! shame as seems like we've been all over them to be fair.

hopefully it wont damage the team spirit if anything it should make them hungrier to win the next game so lets be having it!

[PT]

Hmm. Two shots on target and two goals for them. So our 'keeper hasn't made a save, which on the back of the eight he conceded in his last game may be cause for concern.

Otherwise, sounds like it's been one of those nights. Done everything but score.

Southampton went up that season..... UTS! Still, would have liked a bit of JPT again this season.

[BathSaddler]

Morecambe then nearly make it 3-0 but hit a post...

10 minutes to save it lads...

[Guest]

I blame it on the international callups.

[Darth Vader]

We need to leave this competition for dust if we want promotion by Christmas anyway.

[Mrdollabill]

i really wish we had an international break :( :( :(

[Welsh_Saddler]

Sam Mantom's been booked - not sure when. :(
