We have been the better side this half. Nugent has played well and has made a difference.

Do or die now. We have the momentum, can we get a goal.

Not been good enough over the 2 games don't deserve go through, pity as they are well organised but fairly limited.

A better second half and the substitutions made a difference. We probably should have started with Nugent. I think the performances were better than they would have been had Hill stayed.

We now need a manager and to begin the recruitment process.

No complaints. Better second half, but not good enough. Even our goal was offside.

Let's look forward to a better 2021/22 under new management.

Clarke, Ridehalgh and Vaughan were all very good, and Nugent also had a decent game.

Doesn't feel great that even though it was no surprise. Poor first half, decent second but all a bit too desperate at the end. What a season. Three different managers. We now need a good appointment, some stability and a strong squad to challenge again.

Need to keep that spine of Clarke, spearing and Vaughan. The better side has gone through. Defensively we’ve not been great over the two games and once again, unable to score more than one goal. That has been our undoing for weeks and again today

We huffed and puffed towards the end but it wasn’t enough.

Just not good enough, and a fair reflection of the season overall.

Hopefully get a new manager installed quickly and get the squad sorted and settled before the start of the new season.

Fair play to Morecambe, they have a style of play and it really works for them. I hope they go up....although I don't know what it is, but there's something about McInnes that I really dislike haha

Not much to add, think that Morecambe deserved it over the two legs, though we did put up more of a fight in the second half. See what happens next I suppose.

Dawes admits he is angry after the first half performance. First 20 mins there was a lack of fight and they had 11 players who wanted it whereas we didn’t. It’s pretty bad really that for a play off semi some of them were not up for it.

Good honesty to be fair and not holding back.

Interesting interview with Dawes where he basically lays into the players and questions the desire. Difficult to disagree with him after what we have seen this season.

Pundits mentioning we are the oldest squad in the league and someone may need to come in and break things up

Lack of fight is unforgivable, there are very few from that squad I hope are their next season I think a number of them are not mentality tough enough

I agree about the mentality. Definitely a lack of spirit in the squad.
