Morecambe match thread

Having had to sit in work all night nervously looking at the Beeb website, how happy I am to see that scoreline. I do not care if it was scrappy, all I care about are 3 points towards safety (I will not say safe yet until it is mathematically possible, however, the goal difference is coming down rapidly) and a clean sheet to boot. Well done the team and the management. Lets hope we can keep hold of Linganzi and others to form the basis of a decent team next season (I nclude Franny Jeffers and James Beattie in that because I believe they have much to offer). Waiting now for the results tomorrow, Torquay v Barnet especially. Cannot see York getting anything from Northampton and I believe Aldershot will be lucky to get anymore than 2 points from their next 2 games, but on the other hand, I cannot see Accy winnning in Bristol next week. It is still in the balance for me.
 
Whatever happens tomorrow, everybody currently below us will still theoretically be able to get to 52 points at least, though I don't think any of them will. As it stands, though, it is mathematically possible that two teams could be relegated with 54 and 55 points!
 
Don't know how he played tonight but 2 immense goals in his last 2 games, lots of credit to Murph. He may not be the best player but he must have had his head and heart in both games. Well done lad.

No comment, except he knew nothing about his goal!
 
Dire game bereft of any quality - we won by a scuffed free kick bouncing off an unaware player and an opposition defence parting like the Red Sea ... and I couldn't be happier!

Playing good football is a luxury for a club like ours, I'd rather be lucky than good any day of the week!
 
I do think that the flare played a huge part in the second goal

That smoke was irritating to the eyes and nose

Bit of an own goal by the morecambe fan who threw it!
 
On the Morcambe forum they were talking about trouble in the ground and after on the way to the station. They complained about some chanting by some of their idiot fans and some of their fans being set upon afterwards. They were not blaming Stanley fans but said they were Blackburn/Burnley yobs.

The yobbo's would most likely have been the normal Accy knobheads, who have turned the town centre into a no go area for decent revellers.
 
I was impressed by the almost-endless chanting and dancing from the group of young lads at the front of the Clayton End seats, just in front of the owd codgers. Credit to the lads; it was a pleasure to see them. And, if their presence was a result of the commercial department's activities, well done to them too!
 
Thought we were edgy, particularly at the back, for the first 20 minutes or so. This was perhaps understandable with so much at stake and, whilst we all would love to see lots of free flowing football, I wasn't expecting a game for the purist. Three points for us and a clean sheet was a good night's work and we'll leave the one touch fast football for another time!

Linganzi was immense, Aldred also very solid and they'd done their homework on Molyneux as he was denied space on the ball.

Just been checking the full list of remaining fixtures for all clubs and don't reckon we're safe just yet, however 4 or 5 clubs would gladly swap places with us!
 
:egged: The match was not flush with outstanding football but our boys did the job asked of them by Leam..which was to get the three points on the night. I fully agree with comments about Amine being the MOM.:mosher: He was superb in midfield and as I said last week he was sorely missed at York. I thought that Tom Aldred:mosher: was super too, he just gets better and better and is very consistent. A bit like Rob Atkinson in the first half of the season. Chubbs played well too and it is this increase in consistency down the centre of our line up that has allowed us to get some form back. Moly and Wilson tried to get things going down the left but it didn't quite come off for them tonight. Boco was once again totally tireless in his running exemplified by his role in our second goal. Rommy has played a lot of matches this season and despite looking a bit tired late on at York and last night he still gave his all...STANLEY SPIRIT!!! Podge worked hard as did the whole team indeed! Also it would seem that we have turned the corner as far as "getting a lucky break" is concerned. eg. Peter Murphy didn't know much about his goal but he was up there in the right position causing problems for their defence. Peter had a couple of great runs in the second half cutting in from the right wing which could have easily yielded another goal.
So well done to Leam and the team. Also well done to the fans who turned out in excellent numbers. :do-one:The Clayton End was rocking just like a couple of years ago and earlier.:theband:
Yes, we will all be watching the results today and hoping they go our way. As Leam keeps saying though, let's just focus on our own results and we should go to Bristol next week with enough confidence that we can come home with a positive result.
(I really do hope though that we can keep our most promising players and not have our squad totally dismantled like two years ago after our play off season!):confused:
Jack B will be smiling up there....:):):)
ON STANLEY ON:theband:

You'll understand that this hurts for me to admit, but after the first goal we just didn't want it enough and your guys ran out worthy winners.

The game was devoid of any constructive football but at least you got the result wanted to probably stay up.

The Shots fans are not at all happy with our Managers pre match comments about wanting you to stay up at the expense of a Southern based team.....but tough!:)

Thought the lad from Blackburn was immense and as for Molyneax, it sounds as though he's on his way to the Fylde coast( no doubt for the money) if you believe the rumours coming from the Cod army!

Our revenge is long overdue.....:(
 
After watching Stanley play at York last Sat , I thought last nights match was brill . The ref was rather one sided to say the least , but overall we got the points we deserved.Well done Leam and the team. I hope the number of Stanley fans there , return .
