Peter Wilson's report from the Morecambe game:
The Vics players quickly picked themselves up from the previous game's disappointment to produce a display that left their Conference National opponents a very clear second best to provide further evidence that Steve Burr's current team have the potential to become a force to be reckoned with.
Yes Kieran Charnock and Peter Handyside had to be on top of their game to suppress an opening 15 minute threat when Michael Twiss and Sean O'Connor posed potential problems, but they saw that spell out with the minimum of fuss to move on and take the lead themselves with a superbly crafted goal. Michael Carr showed the sort of determination that has become an integral part of his game to win a challenge in the heart of the home defence and Jonny Allan was equally adept in capitalising to knock down for BRAYSON to draw the keeper and execute the perfect finish into the bottom corner. Vics maintained a stranglehold on the game from this point with a quality of football that a neutral may have considered to be more expected from their Conference National opponents. Allan had an effort blocked after good work from McCarthy and Mayman and then Mayman himself shot wide from another incisive Vics move. Yet Vics were not to be denied and with the home side struggling to block out a sequence of shots it was BRAYSON who again popped up to capitalise with another clinical finish to give his team a two goal lead.
Expectations that Morecambe would eventually exert some influence on the game were quickly dispelled after the break with Roca and Brayson again reeking havoc before Chapman drove wide from a good position. Rogers remained virtually redundant and another flowing three-man move ended with Mayman going close. Darren Kempson headed over from a rare home attack before a superbly executed finish from Brayson sewed the tie up. Carr again proved to be the provider and when BRAYSON collected his pass on the left there was still work to be done before he cut inside and steadied himself to score with a precision shot inside the despairing keeper's far post. Such was Vics superiority that Brayson was able to go close with another effort before seeing a header from a Carr cross strike the bar with Robinson again comprehensibly beaten. Rogers kept out a belated effort from Stringfellow and CARLTON did convert a late Twiss knock down to reduce the arrears. But the reality was that Vics had won in such style that to suggest a giant killing act would have undermined their dominance and in truth they had outplayed their Conference National opponents who had previously been almost untouchable at Christie Park.
