Morecambe manager insists that his team must….

The Shrimps travel to Accrington Stanley in search of their tenth league victory of the current campaign.
Adams’ team has drawn its last four games after opening the league season with five 1-0 losses, putting them one point ahead of tomorrow’s opponents.


The Morecambe manager insists that his team could have had six points from six points coming into the match, despite giving up late goals to tie with Bradford City and Notts County.

Adams said: “With the opportunities and the amount of good positions we got into, we could have won both of those games.

They have been very good against two of the bigger sides in the division, but we really should have put the two of them to bed early on – especially the Bradford game, that should have been finished at half-time.

“Notts County, we obviously scored early on and then the assistant doesn’t see the late chance but, over the piece, we had some really good opportunities.

“Higher up, they have VAR and the goalline technology. We don’t have either of those, so that’s probably the next step.

Those four dropped points would have lifted Morecambe from second-bottom to 21st as they visit a Stanley team at the foot of the table.

Stanley have plenty of familiar faces, with former Morecambe head coach Ged Brannan their assistant boss and a playing squad containing four ex-Shrimps in Farrend Rawson, Donald Love, Ash Hunter and Nelson Khumbeni.

We’re looking forward to it,” Adams said.

“We’re coming off a really good performance on Tuesday but we need to continue that.

The league table is still a work in progress and is challenging to read.

“You observe outcomes and wonder, ‘How did that team win that game?’ However, there are still nine games left in the season.

“If you look at the table, we’ve already performed really well and played five of the top six.

Although we’re pleased with the performances, we would be much more pleased if we could start winning three points.
