ELEVEN corners😞😞😞😞
With King Arthur on up top with Stockton, I’d take a point now any day of the week and class it as an unbelievably fortunate point at that

That was absolute rubbish from back to front.
Too slow at the back plus poor passing.
Non-existent midfield and just one attacker who got no service.

Well how bad was that? I’m afraid I’m rapidly losing faith here, that was a disgrace today against a very poor team. I’m sure Evatt must fill their heads with fear before they go out.

0-0 full time another set back why are we not shooting that’s automatic promotion gone for sure what a piss poor game we are just not doing enough in and around there box very bad time to start having a bad run of results. With the other teams having games in hand we could fall out of the playoffs fxcking so fed up with our lack of confidence infront of goal COYWM

Like I said previously W63, we ‘psychologically lost’ that game even before kick off Apart from perhaps one change to the side from both the MK Dons and the Peterborough 5-0 wins, that was near enough the same side that faced the Shrimps today, so what on earth went wrong??? My take is, we paid Derek and his Dominoes too much of a compliment by trying to contain their dark arts rather than go for the throat from the off Poor poor management and like I say, Evatt’s League 2 level

That was a dreadful performance throughout the team.
We spent so long passing the ball back to Trafford, including a throw in halfway into the Morecambe half, who then spent ages playing it forward so there was just no pace or urgency to our game.
Our forward passing consisted mainly of hoofs forward from the back for Charles to chase.
Morley contributed nothing positive at all and the midfield just could not get the ball and when they did could not pass. Toal had most forward runs but his passing was appalling.
We took so long to get forward, we were faced with 10 defenders in their box every time but we insisted on trying to walk the ball into their net.
Morecambe looked more likely to score. We took 20 passes to get to their area and then couldn’t get a shot in whereas they made 2 or 3 passes, moved at pace and often finished up with a chance.
We have picked a bad time to lose form with Ipswich, Sheff W and Plymouth coming up.
This sort of performance makes me start to doubt our play-off hopes. It was awful.
Marks:-
Trafford - 6 A couple of really good saves. Much too slow in playing the ball out from the back.
Bradley - 6 A couple of decent breaks but couldn’t set anyone up with the final ball,
Toal - 5 Too many dreadful passes which got us into trouble
Santos - 6 Had a difficult time with Stockton when Morecambe launched the ball. A couple of good clearances
Mbete - 5 Control of the ball was poor. Gave possession away too often.
John - 6 Not able to link with the attack
Morley - 4 So nothing. No positive passing. No decent tackling. Absolutely awful corners. Played much too deep.
Dempsey - 5 The best of our midfield but couldn’t influence the game
Sheehan - 5 A couple of decent passes and one good attempt on goal but he is too slight for these type of matches.
Shoretire - 4 As I said during the game, he is a young very skilful player but he is playing in a man’s game and is easily brushed off the ball. Missed one of our best chances.
Charles - 6 No support to him at all except long 30 yards balls in the air.
Kachunga - 5 Just kept falling over
Nlundulu - 5 A couple of glimpses of something

The 5-0s were not the way Evatt wants to play the game. THIS is Evattball.
Absolutely awful performance. They played so many hospital balls by not putting enough pace on it.
Through injuries Evatt stumbled on a way of playing with tempo and pace, with every passing week that has gone back and back to how it was.
Two teams bound to be playing L1 next season. As they showed a lot more heart but not a lot of skill and we should be winning that game 9 times out of 10. But aren't.

Remember in July 22 where the ‘Super-Computer’ had us finish the league
1. Derby (89 pts) 2. Sheffield Wednesday (85 pts) 3. Ipswich (80 pts) 4. Barnsley (76 pts) 5. MK Dons (75 pts) 6. Portsmouth (72 pts) 7. Wycombe (72 pts) 8. Wanderers (71 pts)
No place for Plymouth 🤔🤔🤔
So, with just 10 games for us left to play, let’s assume we somehow manage 5 more wins, that’s us on 78 points
Would that be enough to guarantee a play off spot?? Have we done enough to deserve a play off spot??
I really wish we weren’t distracted by this PJ Final!! Let’s face it, no one remembers it other than fans than didn’t see through the Rioch Allardyce era
Evatt has to find a formula to get us back on track as so many teams around and below us have better prospects for getting to the lottery spots than we currently do based on todays match form
Can Evatt negotiate a way for us to get 2 points from the next 2 games I wonder before we get back to winning ways🤔
Well with Ipswich bagging 3 goals in 11 minutes of the first half, I doubt we’ll get anything from that game

Other scores not too good
Ipswich 3-0 up Derby 2-0 up Wycombe 1-0 up Barnsley 0-0 Not interested in Sheff W or Plymouth anymore

Look at the way we played recently and then imagine taking that show to the likes of Burnley, Watford, Norwich. So far off championship level its merciful to leave us here. Definitely need to rethink the formation especially away from home.

Interesting you say that davidm, had we done what we should have done today and win, we’d be on 65 points, just 4 behind Plymouth and that would have put the pressure on them In second spot just as Ipswich are currently doing today. Yes they’ve got 2 games in hand but it would still have been all to play for Now, I think today shows that we’ve really done automatic promotion and are looking over our shoulders at those below us
Cannot believe we have 3 games in March, 2 really tough games too before THAT distraction and then 8 in the month of April. Who the hell planned that??
