Points shared in Morecambe and Yeovil National League stalemate

Morecambe remain in the National League relegation zone after a goalless draw with Yeovil at the Mazuma Mobile Stadium.

The Shrimps wanted to name an unchanged team from the side that beat Brackley in midweek, but Admiral Muskwe was injured in the warm up, with his place in the starting line up was taken by Harry Panayiotou.

Ben Williams was also injured in the warm up, with Arjan Raihky and Lewis Payne coming onto the bench.

Here's reaction to the game from manager Ashvir Singh Johal.

A slow first half saw little in the way of action in either penalty area, with the best of what little chances there were falling the way of Jack Nolan, who saw a free kick from 25 yards sail over the crossbar, and Gwion Edwards, who was off target with a lob.

The pace of the game picked up in the second half, and in the opening minutes Ben Tollitt found space on the left, but Panayiotou couldn't meet it at the back post. Y

James Daly then forced Jamal Blackman into an excellent save with a header, although the Glovers’ forward was offside.

Jake Cain's long range strike called Jed Ward into action as he was at full stretch to push the ball away for a corner, and Blackman was on hand to deny a Josh Sims low effort.

In the 78^th minute, the visitors were handed a chance to take all three points from the penalty spot, as Mo Sangare was judged to have bundled over Thavon Campbell in the area. The substitute stepped up to take the spot kick but his effort was superbly tipped onto the post low down to his right by Blackman.
