Morecambe players must turn performances into victories

“We made a number of errors throughout the night and that’s the nature of the game.

“We weren’t good enough on the ball, we weren’t good enough out of possession either.

MK Dons, the rotation all over the pitch, caused us problems. They’re a far better side than us.

“You could see how well MK Dons played tonight. They passed the ball well, they ran hard, they got the ball back really well.

“I’d just like to apologise to our supporters tonight. We’ve come up against a better team than us tonight who were quicker on the ball, they moved it better, their understanding of the game was better than us tonight.

“MK Dons are a team that have got a lot of talented players. They’ll certainly finish very well this season because, at home, they’re excellent on the ball.

“I think MK Dons are the best footballing side we’ve played so far this season.

“I thought the way they rotated, the way they passed the ball was very strong. I’m sure they’ll do very well.”
