Morecambe highlights

Quoted from ginnywings

Extended highlights.

that was a great save by smith from Pyke in the 2nd half. noticeable from those highlights how often pyke was getting into centre forward/goalscoring positions

n Glennon looking like the original Glennon that we knew n loved

happy days

Couple of I things noticed whilst watching the highlights back a few times. The first minute goal we concede is down to a moment of not being switched on, and by ball watching, meaning you’re in bad position because you haven’t focused on your man and anticipated where the ball might go. Just one common defensive error by one player. Goal down.

Second goal especially a thing of beauty though. Drilled long diagonal into a very good area of the box; Rose makes it his with a sublime header  and you can see Green has anticipated  perfectly and a very tidy finish indeed! Hear the release of emotion from the crowd as that goes in. F*+*ing get in!!

In those two goals you could see the pivotal role of ‘anticipation’, or focusing on where the ball is going, not where it’s been.

A squared + B squared = C squared  well said Chaos

Quoted from Lincoln Mariner 56

Just listened to his interview and to be fair he was pretty honest saying we were much the better side who deserved to be ahead at half time and fully merited our victory. Think his Cup Final reference was more that this was a one off match we wanted to win for our temporary management team rather than we were up against the mighty Morecambe, well that’s how I interpreted his comments.

Of course he added context, but nonetheless it was a bizarre and stupid comment. He has been in football long enough to know that phrase means a lowly club raising their game against a much bigger club and when you are manager of Morecambe you can never say that.

Not a first world problem but I did get somewhat irritated.

I was one who said Cartwright would be crushed by the responsibility of a regular run of games. How wrong!

I also said Pyke was slow in thought and deed with little apparent aptitude. He really rammed it down my throat yesterday.

They have clearly advanced their stock in training and grabbed their chance with a passion.

Well played both of you.

A clumsy choice of words perhaps, but he’s not being deliberately or consciously disrespectful. He meant it as described above; it had a sense of a one-off game for us, while it was just another for Morecambe.

He concedes we were the better side, which we were.

You can get away with not anticipating where the ball goes if you `play` your man, even if the striker gets to the ball first you can get a challenge in to put him off/deflect the ball/disrupt his run. To do neither is poor defending.

Exactly that. And that’s what happened with Rodgers for the goal. Look at his positioning - he’s not even close never mind tight and behind. He’s either switched off/not on yet, or he’s just ballwatching. Luckily his game picked up significantly. But it’s these kind of defensive errors - errors that happen at every level in football, that have been costing us because we’ve made too many too often. Cut that in half and we’ll be picking up points if we play like we did offensively yesterday.

We’ve been playing like that offensively so lets not pretend like its suddenly happened yesterday.
Scored 2 against Crawley, Stockport and Colchester. Its the defensive errors week in week out that have cost us for weeks

Attacking wise  -  Happy Days
Defensive wise  - Could do a lot better
