Nowhere to hide - Lillis

12 March 2011 20:00
Morecambe assistant Mark Lillis admitted his side would have to work hard to guarantee League Two safety as the gap between them and the bottom two closed to just six points after a 1-0 loss to Bradford. James Hanson gave the Bantams victory with a header after 32 minutes to severely dent Morecambe's chances of a late promotion push. He said: "We can't hide from the fact that we are in a relegation dogfight now. A few weeks ago people were talking about the play offs, but we can forget them now and concentrate on getting the points we need to make sure we are safe. "We have some huge games coming up, but everything is in our hands because we play teams in and around us in the next few weeks and we have to get something from those games. "We have worked hard to get where we are as a club and we will work hard to make sure we stay here, but we know we have to produce more quality. "This was another game where we had a great deal of possession but failed to trouble their keeper enough and that was disappointing."
