League Two victories against Notts County, Yeovil and bottom club Newport County in recent weeks have seen Morecambe score ten goals while they also progressed in the Football League Trophy by beating League One high-fliers Walsall.
Nine different players have got their name on the scoresheet in the league so far although it was experienced goalkeeper Barry Roche who earned the praise of manager Jim Bentley after Saturday's win at Newport.
Northampton's hard-fought victory at home to Oxford United pushed the Cobblers back into the top-half of the table. They achieved that despite the dismissal of Jason Taylor just before half-time and the midfielder will now miss the trip to Lancashire.
Manager Chris Wilder has decided against appealing that decision and told the official NTFC website this week: "We know that first and foremost we need to make sure that our mentality is right when we get on the coach on Friday."
