Barry Fuller congratulates Danny Spiller on his goal against Morecambe

What can I say that I haven‘t said in all my previous columns?

Those who were there at Morecambe on Saturday would have been thinking, ‘how have we not won that game?’

All the players were thinking the same thing as we were travelling home.

Similar to the Hereford game, we started the game at a good tempo, putting them under pressure, something maybe that was lacking away from home previously.

There seems a much greater sense of belief that we can go away from home and come away with a good result. No disrespect to the opposition this season but we shouldn’t fear anyone.

Saturday was a good point against a tough side in the usual windy conditions you find close to the coast. What suited us, though, was an excellent playing surface which helped us keep the ball on the floor.

We created some good chances but again like the Hereford game, we came up against a goalkeeper who pulled off some great saves and deserverdly won MoM.

For all our good chances, we found ourselves 1-0 down through what was probably their one and only effort on goal.

We didn’t let our heads drop and managed to grab the equaliser through Spills. However pleased he was to score his first since returning to the club, he seemed more disappointed that he didn’t win us the game in the last couple of minutes.

Overall, though, there are many more positives to come out of the game and the few hundred that made the long journey up to Morecambe, who I must say were again fantastic in giving their support, must sense this long overdue away win coming soon.
