Morecambe were too easy to score against in their loss to Forest Green Rovers, according to their manager Derek Bentley. The Shrimps conceded four goals, including two from Ricardo Rees, in their final match of the season. Bentley named a makeshift side for his final game in charge, which included Oscar Wright's first start. Despite some positives, Morecambe were second best throughout the match. They ended the season third-bottom of the National League, having conceded a league-high 103 goals. Bentley said he would accept responsibility for the formation and personnel, but not for the basic defending errors. The goals conceded typified where Morecambe are as a side, with free headers and a lack of communication. Morecambe's season was marked by struggles in defense, with 13 more goals conceded than Gateshead, who had the division's second worst goals against record. Bentley's experiment with a new side did not pay off, as Forest Green Rovers were miles the better side. The match was a disappointing end to a miserable season for Morecambe. The Shrimps will look to improve their defense in the upcoming season. Bentley's departure will also bring changes to the team. The new manager will have to address the defensive issues that plagued Morecambe throughout the season.
