4 victories, 4 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Morecambe, who have the most conceded goals (49) in League One, have to build on here at Mazuma Stadium in the League One.

The goalie Carson was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 7.85 out of ten. Carson stopped the opponent with three saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Tottenham Hotspur (1-3).There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Morecambe, as the League One home game vs Wycombe Wanderers is only four days away.
The Morecambe fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 19 in 13 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 22 goals have been conceded.
