Morecambe boss: Oxford United point was a fair result

The Shrimps secured their third draw of the League One campaign after picking up a point at the Kassam Stadium.

After a goalless opening half, it was Brighton and Hove Albion loanee Jensen Weir who fired Morecambe into the lead on 48 minutes.

However, they were pegged back seven minutes later by Kyle Joseph’s close-range finish with neither team able to add to their tally in the time remaining.

Adams said: “It was a very good game.

“Oxford are struggling at home to get wins and have lost their last two games.

“We dealt with the shape that Oxford tried and we limited them to very few opportunities on target – and we were unfortunate not to take all three points.

“We went ahead with a well-worked goal and a great finish from Jensen Weir, he took it really well.

“We broke down Oxford’s right, the opportunity came about because we pressed them high. It was a great slip pass across and he finished it into the bottom corner.

“It was great to go ahead in the game and we felt that we could probably hold on and take all three points.

“They came into the game late on. They threw a ball into the box, it was a scramble and they got their equaliser but we feel like the draw is a fair result.”

MK Dons are Morecambe’s next league opponents on Saturday as they sit 22nd in the table, one point and one place ahead of the Shrimps.
