Re: The vs Cambridge match thread.
Predicted this would be a close run thing - and so it proved!
Stanley started well but Cambridge soon got a grip on the midfield & we resorted to too many aimless high balls out of defence, particularly first half.
As most of their team were giants compared to our lads, the ball just kept coming back.
Chappers pulled-off some brilliant saves to keep the scoreline blank at half-time.
Second half we became much more effective with some slick passing & wing-play.
Time & again we got behind their defence & put dangerous crosses into the box.
Unfortunately, our forwards were never in the right place at the right time.
Then we got a lucky break! Jackson chased a high ball into the box & right in front of the Clayton End, clearly fouled his marker to gain the advantage he needed to score the vital goal.
I say lucky break, because neither ref nor linesman spotted it & despite the protestations of the whole Cambridge team, the goal stood - PHEW!!!!!
Kayden got the 'mom.' award, but once again our defence were the heroes, particularly Dunne, who imho was outstanding.
Looking forward to watching the tv highlights tonight - not for Stanley's close run victory, but Morecambe's amazing demolition of our most dangerous rivals - Wycombe.
All hail the mighty Shrimps!
