Both Stockton & Weir playing, which is good to see. Two up front.

Apparently we're 16/1 for the win tonight, despite Ipswich poor form and being only one place above us over the last ten games, so for any betting person, they look like good odds. I'm not expecting a win, but if we manage one, it won't be that big a shock.

Sorry to disagree Keith but if we win it will be a MASSIVE shock ...probably one of the biggest shock results in league 1 this season

Bollox ...awful start

Looks like you're right

Awful defending.

Forest Green 1 down at bolton

Think I saved myself £10

My thoughts as well! It's been so long since I placed a bet, my card has expired and I couldn't be bothered updating it. Wonder what 'live odds' you'd get now?

Draw is 12/1

2 nil now

Not the start we wanted

Damage limitation

Oh dear. Ripped apart. Superb finish.

Different pace in their play. Their second goal, Gibbo was caught dithering. Cooney just gave the ball away cheaply, resulting in another quick break and shot on target. They've hit the post.

We need to keep our heads and do the basics right.

Not even that. Really, really poor defending.

I'm afraid it's 3 nil and we are lucky it's only 3

Two weeks off certainly not helped

The basics are not coming easy at the moment !

Game over , that goal was embarrassing , their No 10 might as well have pulled up a chair while the ball came to him

Sometimes we just have to say some teams are just to good for us ...Ipswich deffo one off them

Only consolation Fleetwood and Forest Green losing

Gibbo (who has been superb lately) is having a 'mare. Repeatedly caught in possession, misplaced passes and now diving in to a tackle and missing completely. Cooney's off the pace too. Recently, we were reacting to the second ball really quickly, but tonight, we're not winning anything on the second ball.

This could be seven or eight. Our goal difference could take a pounding in the second half.

Games like this just highlight the difference in the size of budgets teams have to work with. Things will never be equal, but we can never compete with a former Premiership team. Listening to the away commentary it never seems to occur to them the difference in the history of the two teams.

Having said all that, we are making basic mistakes that are letting Ipswich play through us.
We did have a good goal difference, but it's looking like a lot of that could be wiped out tonight!
COME ON YOU MORECAMBE REDS

Half time changes?
Go 4-4-2?
Love for Gibson?
Melon for Watts?
White flag delivered to the referee and set off home early?

4 nil now I'm afraid

4-0

Ipswich 16 attempts 7 on target

Morecambe 3 attempts 0 on target

DIFFERENT CLASS simple as that

Got to feel for the fans who have made the journey

My God, how these Ipswich commentators are crowing now. They are good, but you got to ask 'what opposition have they had?'
