Morecambe manager in seventh heaven
and live on Freeview channel 276
The Shrimps’ 1-0 win over Sutton United last Saturday gave Brannan a first victory in seven matches at the Mazuma Mobile Stadium.
Morecambe now have three consecutive away games, starting with tonight’s trip to Tranmere Rovers, but Brannan hopes last weekend’s victory reduces the pressure on his side.

“We have had a lot of bad luck at home and that hasn’t helped because you need to get a win in front of your own fans as soon as possible – and now we have done that, we can move on.
“The pressure to get that first win has gone now and that always helps, we can relax a bit more at the Mazuma.
“Hopefully that will help us put a big run together and we can start looking up the table.

“They are all different games at home and away so we have to get our mindset right and, if we do that, we will do well.
“I know we have a good squad full of good players, who are growing in confidence all the time, and the message we are getting across to them is we have nothing to fear.”
