Re: Cambridge Unites Match Thread 29th April 2023
Well the fans turned up today - shame the team didn't!
There was only one team playing football today & it wasn't Stanley.
Cambridge out-thought & out-passed Stanley from kick off & their first goal seemed almost inevitable.
Stanley by comparison played like a team of strangers.
Devoid of ideas, ability & skill, they simply hoofed their way into L2.
Todays defeat was as much to do with poor tactics as poor play & the management must accept much of the blame.
In the first half especially, we barely strung a single pass together & relied on panicky long balls to no one in particular, which proved meat & drink to the Ewe's big defenders.
The subs made more impact but it was all too little too late. Apart from a penalty award, we never looked like scoring from open play.
Adieu to L1, it was good while it lasted
Ps. Well done the Shrimps! They battled to overcome a 0-2 deficit at half time to win 3-2.
Good luck Morecambe! You showed a fighting spirit Stanley lacked.
