Morecambe boss Ged Brannan was angry with his players’ performance following Saturday’s 1-0 defeat against Colchester United at the Mazuma Mobile Stadium.
Arthur Read’s first-half free-kick settled matters against a Morecambe team which saw Ged Garner miss a second-half penalty and an offside flag rule out Jacob Bedeau’s goal.
It leaves the Shrimps with three draws and as many defeats on home soil since Brannan replaced Derek Adams at the end of November.
Defeat also saw them drop back down to 15th position in League Two, having lost to a Colchester team that started the day third-bottom.
Reflecting on the loss, Morecambe’s manager acknowledged aspects of their display were ‘unacceptable’.
He said: “It was very disappointing today, especially the first half because we weren’t at the races.
“We have got a few injuries and we missed a few players, and it showed because we were nowhere near the levels we need to be before the break.
It was unacceptable that our guys were basically jogging around the ground. The players and I will review the game on Monday.
We had a great opportunity to win the game in the second half, but we missed a crucial penalty. If we had scored, I’m sure we would have won.
“We need to change that as soon as possible because we are currently having a rough patch at home and, for whatever reason, we appear a little uneasy in front of our own supporters.”
