Re: Shrimps Away...
The writing was on the wall before kick-off last night as Stanley's strikers (sic) lined up for some shooting practise.
50% off their efforts were wildly off-target & the rest were saved by our agile 3rd choice keeper.
Oh how we laughed. By half-time, no one was laughing.
For 30 minutes Stanley promised to serve up a festive treat. Unfortuantely, the turkey on the menu was us.
Morecambe didn't need 62% possession. In Cole Stockton they had what Stanley lacked - an old-school centre forward strong enough to resist the hardest challenge & skilful enough to provide a killer pass. He was instrumental in both goals.
Last night proved that clever passing & possession football mean absolutely nothing without an end result - the ball in the back of the net!
In 3 days we face a much stiffer derby. I fear this time the writing really is on the wall for Stanley - and it begins with the letter 'R'.
