Apparently McCall is now looking to reduce the size of the squad to let the likes of Colbeck, Bentham, Penford and Medley move on loan to get regular first team football.

Presumably he hasn't noticed that they are players not good enough to get into the 89th best team in England so there may be a shortage of offers.

Sadly, I can see another defeat tonight and season where finishing 22nd will be the closest we get to success.

Apparently there will be more Bradford fans than Morecombe there tonight so lets hope the players take some motivation from that.

Doesn't help in the home games!

I'm not sure it's motivation that's lacking, they're just in the main a not very good bunch of players.

The non-league thread seems more interesting than this one anyway.

Harsh result tonight i thought we did enough to win the game and certainly should not have lost,our poor finishing cost us unfortunatly.
Morecambe sounded like they have alot of pace on the flanks so it just goes to show that if you have a little pace in this division then your gonna do well.
On a positive note Ndungu-Nsungu played very well tonight.

We need several players with pace someone abit like SW Phillips who can run and attack the box and whip in a quick cross,its ok having a fairly solid midfield but without any real pace we will get beat over and over again.

Oh dear.

Oh dear, oh dear oh dear.

McCalls got some work to do. I'm becoming increasingly bemused and annoyed by people placing sole blame on the players, just because a legend is in charge.

It was the opposite with Todd. And it's just selecting a scapegoat. We have a good enough squad to get out of this league IMHO, we really do lack a manger with some pedigree of experience, or at least a number 2 with some nounce.

It pains me to say it, but I can't see us going anywhere at this moment with McCall.

I agree, presuming that you mean getting out of it in a downwards direction.

I don't think this squad is cut out for League 2 football at all, we don't have enough presence or aggression for starters, but have got plenty of players who like to be flashy and skilful as I said earlier in the thread I think McCall's lack of recent experience at this level has let him down in terms of recruitment.
