Cole Stockton missed Morecambe's loss to Bolton Wanderers owing to an illness which kept him out of the weekend draw to Fleetwood Town as Derek Adams felt his side could have had one or maybe even three points against the Whites.
The Whites took the lead in the first half through Liverpool loanee Conor Bradley, who caused the Shrimps problems all evening, found the back of the net on the turn with his second goal for his loan club. He finshed off a flowing attacking move as the Shrimps struggled to create many chances which troubled James Trafford.
Aside from a Ryan Delaney header which went wide in the second half, the Shrimps did not create too much, though put more pressure on Wanderers in the closing stages. Wanderers managed to secure a 1-0 win which lifted them to fourth in the League One table.
