Well Sean my asessment would be that Sammy eventually noticed after only 1 win in 10 games or so and playing a formation that wasn't working , because we were too slow . He decided to have a change and use a formation that most normal teams have with a BACK FOUR ( i have mentioned this a few times) with 2 good pacey full-backs and Hey Presto , we win 4 games on the bounce. . Well thats my asessment in a nutshell.

Which is pretty much what he did the season before. Then he went from 4-4-2 to 5-3-2 ditched Ryan McCann and Michael Carr. This season he's gone the other way formation wise and ditched Darren Moss and put aside Danny Adams, and possibly Ian Craney, and injected the pace that was so obviously lacking early on in the season.

As last year enormous credit to Sammy and Mark for buckling down and finding a solution.

I said in another thread:

For what it`s worth, i`ve been increasingly impressed by the forwards have been playing over the last few games and as such, think by October / November, that we will have an attacking side to rival the best teams in the league.
The midfield needs some tweaking, whether that be by player changes, tactical changes, or more directions and instructions from the captain or Manager - i`m not sure, but I think if and when the defense start to play better together - again, I`m not sure if it`s direction from on or off the pitch that`s needed or player changes - but I really do think that come November, we can be looking at a really strong team which will back up what a lot of people on here, (including me) have said "this is the strongest team that Morecambe FC have ever fielded".
OK, so we`re not winning the matches... at the moment, but we`re not losing them either and at the end of the season, if we`ve turned our form round, those odd points from draws early on, rather than losses could make ALL the difference.
Unfortunate about Haining getting injured so early on, same with Fraser, but, just on Friday, I was commenting at how strong our overall squad is - including the bench - competition for places will be increasingly strong, not to mention, the options to fill in for injured players will show and over all, at the end of the season, it`s the strength of the squad that regularly makes the difference.
Stick with it!

I still stand by the comment and think that although we got a point in the early games, rather than possibly losing, I think the major point to focus on is that the tems we played, were in the top 0 in the league and they DIDN'T get 3 points! and we may be able to reign them in a little easier.

Either way - 4 nil is a great result and 3 league games unbeaten - bring it on!!

P5 W 5 D 0 L 0 F 13 A 2 Pts 15

[RedRedWine1]

I'd have saved you the bother Sean, always good for a stat.

Here's one, over 300 minutes (including Injury time) since the side last conceded a goal in a league game. 3 consecutive league clean sheets, equalling last season's record (our best run as a football league club). From the 3-2 comeback at Grimsby through to the 2-1 home victory against Barnet we weren't breached for 350 minutes last season. A clean sheet at Vale Park on Saturday will see us pass this, set a new record for consecutive clean sheets, and possibly extend our football league record of league wins in a row. C'mon you reds!
