Great three points for Stanley but, as ever, it was a very nervy last 15 minutes.
My MotM was their Houlihan! First half Morgan was clearly told to mark him closely, and he did a good job in nullifying his tricks. Stanley easily the better team in the first 45 and deserved the lead.
But, second half, Houlihan positioned himself out on their right up against McConville. Morgan had to stay central, so Houlihan’s influence grew in the second half. And the dreaded complacency of a 2-0 lead led to a panicky defence once Cambridge got their, somewhat lucky, goal.
But, considering the circumstances hinted at by Professor Coleman, it was a fab day back at Whambley.
