Missed pen by Morecambe. Need to get into this, not pressing enough.

Goalless at the break although Phillips who scored a pen on Tuesday and the winner at PP in October blazed over to give us a let off. Apart from that Scottie has had very little to do although the same could be said for their debutant keeper.

A winnable game here but we need to do more in the final third. Apart from a few touches Feeney has been isolated on the left side. Woolery has had a bit more of the ball especially early on but not done much with it. Kirby working hard but neither him or Lewis have been influential in the final third.

Given we’re away at the third placed in form team fairly happy at the moment but either side could nick it. Although the sending off for Songo could change it (and not necessarily in a positive way given our record performances against 10 men). A good opportunity now though.

The challenge on Lewis I think.

A very tight game but we have been the better side and played the better football, although Morecambe do look nippy in the final third. Hopefully we can make the man advantage count.

We should be used to playing 10 men. Let's hope we can take advantage. Rovers played quite well, nippy little passes but seem reluctant to get it forward. Manny and Clarke have had far too much of the ball. Let's get at them!

Hill was accused at Barrow I think of not making positive subs to try and go and win the game v 10 men. Would he still settle for a point today?

That was a very poor half, little creativity from either side so far. The penalty thankfully was awful and I've no idea what the red card was for.

We need to go at them in the second half, pass the ball better and stretch them which we failed to do in the last 2 home games.

You would hope not but we not got too many options from the bench

Was the missed penalty a fair award?

Think a point here would be a better result than a point v Barrow, but agree with bigmart, our attacking options are limited, maybe bring Lloyd on, who'll get into them a bit more?

Stockton’s shot did hit the hand of Spearing but Clarke was saying it bounced up off his leg. Hardly any complaints though

We are on the halfway line and pass it back to the keeper?!
We need someone to take this on.

They are inviting us to attack. Need to find that final ball!

Looking more positive but still need more testing of their keeper to avoid dropping points. Need to get feeney on the ball more as our most creative player. Can see Jolley or Morris on at some point soon.

Looked in the box to me and should have been a pen. Surprised no on field complaints.

We’re putting a lot of crosses in the box but only seen to have Vaughan who can get on the end of them.

Camped in their half practically. 3 points Here for the taking.

All over them but we need that one bit of quality to get the goal.
