I'm a big admirer of his, but can he escape some of the blame for what's been happening

Why get on the back of players like Jimbo? He's been a brilliant servant to Morecambe, is committed to the club and fans and is an excellent defender. Given our current situation its the senior players like Jimbo who are going to get us out of this mess.
The manager is a different story. He's been down this road before and knows the score. If he can't get results out of players he bought then we'll need to bring in someone else who can.

one player with pace up front, and anouther player like baker with skills that frighten defenders. the problem is that sammy has to sell before he can buy,but i cannot see anyone wanting to buy our weeker players, unless it is a lower league team.

...and that was when we had Thommo and Danny!!

Plan A for me would be to put Waynaldo on the bench, play defensively and try to stay level, then throw Wayne on with about 25 mins left. Always thought he looked very good against tiring defences and tbh thats the only time we've really rattled teams this season. That way we might just snatch a late winner. I haven't got a plan B so if plan A fails it's Barrow for the local derbies next season.

Harry wrote:Drummond has probably been the best signing of 2008, apart from maybe Howe. He shows an awareness in midfield, undoubtedly has influence among the other players being a former captain of the Shrimps (and Shrewsbury too) and, more improtantly, has scored early goals for us from midfield in 2 games already this season.
