Morecambe manager Sammy McIlroy has said the club's home form could be the key to whether they reach the League Two play-offs in May.The Shrimps have won eight and drawn five of their 16 league games at Christie Park, including back-to-back wins against Darlington and Burton.

McIlroy has been forced to rotate his squad in recent weeks with a number of players missing through injury.

"But there's a number of players who've been patient waiting for their chance.
"I'd just love a full-strength squad and it'd be hard for me to pick a starting XI."
