Morecambe 0 Walsall 2 LIVE thread

2nd goal should not have been allowed

I was on the open side and adomah nearly caught the ball before they scored

Should have been a free kick to us

Sadly we are going down

If Tom White can't get in that side we are doomed

I re-watched the build up to the second goal, and yes Adomah clearly controlled the ball with his arm.
We should have had a free kick. But, the defending as the play progressed was poor, their player allowed to run across the edge of the penalty area before picking his shot. This is costing us in most games, as well as the missed chances we do create. I haven't given up hope of survival, but we've got to tighten up defence, and obviously score some goals. Hopefully, the other teams around us lose!!
COME ON YOU MORECAMBE REDS.

How many times do we see our efforts on goal get blocked whereas the opposition somehow find a way to score inside the box with apparent ease.




Until the sending off we were more than in the game but a silly short pull back caused us the game. But how many times do we see Dackers man handled and his shirt pulled back but no free kick given .

Walsall were poor for a top of the table team but we gave them the game with a stupid action

Looks as though little damage done to our league positions as teams around us lost but Carlisle got a draw v Gillibgham who we play next Saturday

When you look that they are 40 points ahead of us, it’s it all just stupefyingly frustrating. Another team we compete with and we lose. The hill is a bit steeper but it’s the same slope for the 3 or four others we can catch. We have to find the net, 6 wins and a few draws so we have to score to get them and where are they going to come from? I don’t know

Fortunately, not punished. Only two draws in the bottom nine sides (and they played each other). We're still only two points from safety, and despite everything, we don't look too far from winning. If we can get a break, I think we can still do it. Three of the next four games may be 'winnable' if we keep attacking and working hard.

we really need to attack from the off instead of chasing the game every time

teams know now if they can score first and then shut up shop we never win the game !

I do wonder if other teams are now deliberately going for 1-0 wins against us. 60 seconds of research will tell you that grabbing a goal and holding on is very likely to get you 3 points against Morecambe. When we’ve gone a goal down against some of the ‘top’ teams, I keep thinking they will push on to score more against us but they all just go ultra defensive and sadly it works well for them.
