Just shy of 800 Addicks followed Johnnie Jackson’s men up to the windswept, north-western enclave of Morecambe to continue our battle to climb the league. We got off to the perfect start as DJ found the back of the net on a somewhat speculative effort. We looked to dominate from then through the first half. We looked to run away as we dominated possession, resulting in a Conor Washington solo effort. With the supporters in good voice we looked on the road to easy street.
The second half was quite scrappy, with the referee seemingly facilitating Morecambe’s efforts to frustrate, confuse and confound. Morecambe salvaged their evening with a penalty and a goal from a header. We worked hard in possession to break them down, but to no avail once they settled behind the ball and worked to find something on the counterattack.
Johnnie Jackson’s unbeaten run continues, however, so keep your peckers up.

In an ideal world we could've probably done with rotating 2-3 players tonight if we had more options. But at least we didn't lose. Win saturday and we'd have had a good week.
Oh and the ref was shit!
But, losing a 2-0 lead against a team down the bottom of the table isn't great. 2 points lost in my eyes, let's hope we bounce back against Shrewsbury.
Ref was awful, as are all League One refs.
Think Jackson will be pissed off with our discipline. Yeah the ref was shit but we gave away numerous pointless set pieces.
Cant win em all and a decent point on the road.
when he asked Nige to do that he was dropped!
At least Famewo did not get booked so we will still have him on Saturday.
Real bad luck losing all 3 CBs
Injuries and suspensions taking their toll.
Get Harris in now (that's a joke BTW)
Morecambe defended well, ensured that we had neither space nor time to turn in the box.
They also organised well after going 1-0 down very early
The penalty so soon after going 2-0 down probably helped as had we been able to settle on that scoreline then I think we'd have scored a few more, as it is, it gave the home side the confidence to grow back into the game.
A lot of tired legs out there and we lost a bit of our zip.
Davison tries hard but we need better quality in Stockleys absence.
And yeh, the ref was shit
I can't remember a time when we had so much possession on that left hand side in the he final third of a game. Made nothing from it which maybe says something about Kirk?
Game was crying out for Stockley.
As I said on the preview thread,think the recent push may well take its toll tonight. And so it proved so I'm well happy with a point
Don’t normally go overboard on them, and we weren’t that great, but that ref was consistently awful. Soft / bad decisions led to both their goals. 50/50s went for them time after time. Soft free kicks. Final whistle as we were about to shoot before time was up!!!
sideward pointless passing, with no potency!
Next game we need to adjust the defence so Gunter not in the middle of the 3.
