As many county fans try to put the 5-0 hammering from last Saturdays game to forget away to Oldham at the back of their minds attentions quickly turn to this Saturdays match at home to 22nd in the league Morcambe. Many county fans such as me will have fond memories of playing the shrimps as we got into the plays off last season away to Morecambe on the final day of the season. At the moment Morecambe are not in the greatest of form with only 1 win in there last 7 matches with only win came against fellow struggle's Macclesfield.Currently Morcambe are 10 points clear of safety. They would be in more trouble if there were the 2 normal relegation places but due to Bury's expulsion from the football league there is only 1 relegation place in league 2 this season. In there last match Morcambe played with a 4-3-3 formation. However Adam Phillips, a central midfielder was sent off late on in the game. A relief for all county fans is the news that there will be no Kevin Ellison for the visitors on Saturday. Ellison has been a thorn in county's side over the past few years with 6 goals and 6 assists over the past 13 games against us.
However county are not in the best of form conceding 9 goals in there past 2 games many county fans are obviously feeling disappointed about our recent form but i think we need to stick with the team to help them through the bad patch and personally I think its only a patch of bad form because if you look at last season our incredible run that got us into the play offs started around this time last season after a run of bad form so I think its not all doom and gloom. Injuries to key players like Ryan Haynes, Ashley Baker and most importantly Mark O'Brien who in my opinion has been one of our most important and best performing players this season hasn't helped this run we're currently on especially because players haven't been playing in there best positions. The main reason for me as to why were on this poor run of form is down to formation. I believe that our best formation is 3-5-2 but flynny has been playing more like a 4-1-2-1-2.
All things considered I believe that county will win this game at rodney parade 3-1
