ADAMS' SHRIMPS RISING TO THE TOP
The Football League Paper
|October 11, 2020
DEREK ADAMS was thrilled after his Morecambe side moved to the top of the table.
The Shrimps notched an impressive fourth win from five so far this term, with Cole Stockton scoring what proved to be the winner.
Adams said: “It was an excellent performance from the lads throughout. We started the game really well, we were on the front foot, and I thought (Oldham goalkeeper) Ian Lawlor was keeping them in it.
“We thoroughly deserved the victory, though. We picked Oldham off and gained our rewards.
“We’ve had a really difficult start to the season, but we’ve won at Cheltenham, at Southend, and now here at Oldham.
“Oldham are a good side, and they shouldn’t be in the position they’re in. Collectively the players have shown the correct attitude and produced the application you need to be successful.
