Ged Brannan believes Brandon Barker’s prolonged injury absence is the main on-field disappointment of his time as Morecambe boss.
Having taken over in the wake of Derek Adams’ departure last November, Brannan had steered the Shrimps to eighth place in League Two before a run of six defeats in eight. That dropped them down to 12th, only for Thursday’s three-point deduction to see them 14th and any play-off hopes become the most distant of dreams. The year had started with Brannan seeing all five loanees leave the club within a week, followed by the sale of Adam Mayor to Millwall.
” If Barker’s absence has been the biggest disappointment for Brannan on the pitch, the Shrimps’ home results are close behind. Though Morecambe’s away record is the seventh best in League Two ahead of tomorrow’s trip to Stockport County, matters on their own pitch have left plenty to be desired. While they have gained more points at home this season than on the road , they have only won three of 14 matches under Brannan at the Mazuma Mobile Stadium.
