After a ground out 2-0 win against 10 men on Saturday we make the trip up to Morecambe for a very tricky game. Long Tuesday night trips up to the North West, just doesn't sound like the sort of game we tend to do well in, even coming off the back of 2 home wins.
Morecambe seem to have to have had a good start to the season and will be looking for a win to kick on to begin to solidify themselves as playoff contenders this season. Last year they did the double over us and where a right handful both times so we shoudnt be under any illusions as to how difficult this game will be.
There are obviously calls for Marriott to start after his 2 goal performance, justifiably so perhaps, but im really not sure this is the right game for him to be honest, especially if we are going to try and shoehorn him in in a 2 up front formation with Mackail Smith, we tried 352 in this fixture last year and got absolutely battered. Other than perhaps O'Donnell given a break i wouldnt change much else of the team, really think we need to solidfy our starting 11 and get some continuity and use Marriott as that impact injection of energy later on. No doubt his time will come this season, just not sure this is it.
Really think this a tough spot for us here and id be pretty pleased if we came away with a point to try to kick off a run of unbeaten matches.
