Angol certainly deserves his start. Just seen Derek on the pitch, with a big smile. Let's hope he's still got a big smile at 5pm.

You must have been posting while I was looking for and resizing the image!

Decent attempt at a counter there. Just needed that cross to be a hair better.

[Keith]

Interesting first half an hour. No really clear chances, but Crewe had the better half chances. Excellent defensive header by Williams to put the ball over the bar. Jones had our only half-chance, but put it well wide. Their defence & keeper look a bit flakey when put under pressure.

[AndyReifman]

Really need to stop giving away penalties...

[Keith]

1-0

[Redalert1970]

1 down to a very poor Crewe side

405 league mins without a goal (what is the record)

[Phoenix Shrimp 2017]

Low hard shot from Slew probably our best chance yet. Oh crap it’s a stupid penalty to give away. And that’s 1-0.

[Keith]

Ref had been having a good game, then suddenly gave Crewe a penalty for something that only he saw. Two penalties against us, in two games, and they were both incredibly soft.

These things even themselves out... Really?

[Phoenix Shrimp 2017]

We all suspected it was going to be a long hard season. Today just confirms it!

[Redalert1970]

Barrow just had goalkeeper sent off and no sub keeper ..only 6 subs must be really short of players

[dannymorc1]

Well we did nothing wrong for 44 minutes and then a soft penalty according to the commentator.
No benefit of replays today so can’t really say yes or no. What do we have to do to score?
An evenly matched 1st half, we don’t deserve to be a goal behind. It’s almost as if we are cursed not to score. Keep going lads, it will come.
COME ON YOU MORECAMBE REDS.

[Redalert1970]

Play 4 4 2 ..we might score a goal then but can't see it happening anytime soon

[Redalert1970]

Only consolation at the moment (if it's a consolation) ... none of the bottom 7 are winning

[Keith]

Tripple substitution at half-time:

Tutonda>Lewis
Edwards>Dackers
Slew>Lewis

[Keith]

According to Radio Lancashire, pre-match, it is only the second time that a team has started the season with four 1-0 defeats. I wonder if it has ever gone to five?

[Keith]

Hendrie missed an almost open goal!

[Keith]

Hendrie>Millen

[glagys]

Hendrie missed an almost open goal!

Yep and he was pulled back just outside the area no free kick
Yet same thing first half result Crewe pen
Consistency that’s all we want

[dannymorc1]

We don’t look as if we will ever score.
They’re commentators saying that it was a “massive pull on Demetriou’s shirt’ for the penalty.
They would wouldn’t they!

[Redalert1970]

Have to have a shot on target to even have a chance of scoring I'm afraid

[Keith]

Great save from Angol, then the rebound was headed off the line!!!

[Phoenix Shrimp 2017]

What are they feeding opposition keepers. Another save of the season to keep us out.
