Morecambe 5 [Phillips x2, Weir, Watts x2] Burton 0 LIVE

[Keith]

Just the one, forced change, with Melbourne out, Mayor coming in.

[Redalert1970]

Decent line up ...

Looks like 5 3 2

Ripley

Mayor Delaney Bedaeu Rawson Cooney

Gibson Shaw Weir

Stockton Phillips

[Keith]

Early goal for FGR against Port Vale!

[Keith]

Agghhhhh!!! So close! Fantastic ball from Cooney, great cross from Shaw and cleared off the line from Stockton!

What has Derek been feeding these boys the last week? Looks like a whole different side.

[Keith]

One of their players having stitches, so down to ten men. Suddenly, their keeper down, requiring treatment. The only player on the pitch, who doesn't have to leave the pitch after treatment... ...that's unfortunate...

Cynic? ME???

[Keith]

It's feisty! Stockton's header still the only real chance for either side.

Fleetwood winning & Milton Keynes equalised. (Fleetwood 2-0 now)

[Keith]

GET IN!!!

Scabby as anything! Long clearance, Stockton did really, really well, with three defenders around him, Weir shot, keeper saved it, but it nicked Phillips and bobbled in!

[AndyReifman]

Get in! Been coming. Think last year Stockton takes that earlier and scores himself, but still happy to get the goal.

[dannymorc1]

Scrappy goal but we don't care how they go in.
COME ON YOU MORECAMBE REDS.

[Keith]

Phew! Good strike, hitting the crossbar from a Burton attack. They're not out of this yet... ...let's get a second!

[Keith]

Cole SO CLOSE! As they said in the commentary, last season, he'd score that.

[Keith]

BRILLIANT!

Great run from Stockton. I think their harsh on their keeper, who raced out and got a touch, to stop Cole, but the ball fell at the feet of Weir, who scored from 35 yards, in to the empty net!

[AndyReifman]

Yesss!!!! Burton Keeper having an absolute mare.

[Keith]

Burton Keeper having an absolute mare.

I think that's harsh, I think their defence keep leaving him exposed. Keep attacking in the second half, because they look fragile at the back, but could be dangerous up front.

[Redalert1970]

Playing really well ... Just need to keep back door closed

They hit bar before we scored 2nd and look pacy up front

Mk Dons losing / Forest Green winning

We just need to do the basics and we win this

[Keith]

As it stands:

Burton goal difference -15
Morecambe goal difference -13

Obviously, winning is most important, so no mistakes. But, every goal is worth two, (their GD gets worse as ours gets better) so if we can really put Burton to the sword, it may be important at the end of the season.

Shrewsbury down to 10 men in 22nd minute, so can't see them coming back. We really could do with Port Vale improving. If they turn it around v FGR, we could go off the bottom.

[Keith]

Stockton off for Watts???????????

[Keith]

Watts going very close!

[dannymorc1]

Why has Stockton gone off?

[Keith]

WATTS!!!!!

Really scrappy again, but Watts got a toe on it from six yards!

[dannymorc1]

Another scrappy goal, but who cares!

[Keith]

WOW!!!

Phillips!!!

What a superb ball from Mayor! Great finish from Phillips.

[dannymorc1]

WOW! We've scored again, would you believe it. The recovery is on. Off the bottom on goal difference.

[dannymorc1]

We're getting a bit slack in passing now. Need to keep tight, don't give them a chance!
