Laughable warm up the mascots are putting more effort in. Our coaching is diabolical!

Half time 0-0. Really poor game. Two pub teams and a really poor ref who thinks it's all about him.

Looks a completely different 11 to Tuesday.

1-1 at the moment. Harrold on 54 they scored on 83.

Awful game both teams exceptionally poor. No input from inept yates to hold onto the lead. Two points thrown away. 1600 thats 250 down after marketing blunder of free ticket giveaway. Ref as poor as both teams. Was the chant of "Rory Rory" when he came on as a late sub a **** take? Ref certainly took the p with a catalogue of laughable decision. Attrocious at professional level.

We got ahead with really our only worthwhile effort. Then we sat back deeper and deeper and eventually they scored from a corner (yet another set piece goal conceded).

Cold day, no atmosphere, poor ref, 2 poor sides. Made me wonder what happened between Tuesday night and now.

Too many players had off days. Midfield worked hard but we had nothing up front. They marked Edwards out of the game and we had no other creativity. Fenelon didn't look interested, didn't run, jump or tackle. Should have been taken off long before the end.

Still the point is handy and we are nearly there now.

Awful game played by two poor sides on a bad pitch with a terrible ref. We looked tired and a shadow of the team that played on Tuesday. We should be ok now though. Sutherland my mom.

A distinct lack of entertainment, apart from that classic terrace standard of trying to second-guess the workings of the Ref's mind...!

Sutherland & Bond looked good and so did the fullbacks, Della-Verde is useful with a dead ball but on the move he couldn't get his crosses past the first man. Overall there were far too many basic errors and a lack of fluidity & directness, shame as we had those qualities on Tuesday

We invited them on and they gratefully accepted our invitation so it feels like we threw away two points, but I think the result was probably about right. Morecambe were a niggly bunch, but I reckon it was only a few weeks back when we would have lost that same match 2-0.

to have fans say we are nearly there as in safe from relegation really sums up what a poor season its been under the circus leader Yates. One of the most forgettable games ever, who did we play?

I'm surprised that no-one has mentioned that their goal should not have stood as the corner was taken outside the D. Oddly enough, on their next corner, the ref went across and pointed it out to their player, who then put the ball even further away out of the D and had to be told to take it back.

Different rules oop north maybe ? Confused

We never looked like losing which is a great improvement. So impressed our opposition respected us so much they pulled all 11 men back at corners and even played the offside trap..
