Why, are they all over us? Thought we were comfortable?

Nah, they were playing a little better but we were still in control. But only a goal up with so many chances wasted...it seemed sadly inevitable.

Excellent performance that lacked just one thing...goals. Our strikers (and midfielders for that matter) just can't score.

Feels like a draw...after the week we have had it could have been worse.
Sounds like there is some spirit about the place all of the sudden
Excited for the weeks ahead now

Just got in and that was the most annoying goal ever, never deserved a draw . So peed off

Just seeing the table, I'm convinced failure to bring in proper experience will see us relegated. Everyone around us won, it might have been a decent performance today but old habits namely the failure to finish off games has seen us throw away two valuable points. Not good.

Thats the best we have played all season by a COUNTRY MILE! and there is not a hope in hell we will get relegated on that performance. Morecambe were jusy very very lucky.

Well done Geoff harrop and the team today.Sods law that we conceded to a goal like that but no problem,from now on we can proceed with confidence.Would be nice if we could get back Marquis but Stockly and Benton should be enough.Great to have Ladabie back.Whoever comes in as manager will inherit a very good squad that should get us out of trouble.

Just look at Morecambes shots on targets, how depressing http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25532406

Just in, football is a cruel cruel game. We were easily the better side. Morecambe were very dirty and tried to bully their way to a point - they certainly weren't after a win. Lathrope slotted back in well, O'Connor played well at right back, Labadie was everywhere and looked quality, Hawley worked his socks off and held the ball up well (just a shame he doesn't look like scoring!), Bodin was good too, Benyon worked hard too but infuriates me with how often he gets caught offside.

Goals, or lack of, is a major problem. Plenty of positives (again) but seen so many false dawns this season. Results couldn't have gone worse.

Well done to Harrop for getting the boys playing well and up for it. Whoever the new man is a goal scorer has to be the priority - but isn't that what everyone is looking for!?

Billy Bodin cost us today, never seen such poor finishing in front of goal, should have wrapped the game up on his own, now we only have a point and very frustrated

In my opinion their goal was better than Jarvis' last season! We really should've won that especially with the Bodin chance but oh well, onwards and upwards from here.
