A Great result last night and a really splendid performance for 60 minutes!
In the first half there was only one 'FOOTBALL TEAM' present and it wasn't Morecambe. We played some wonderful passing football and created enough chances to have been three up by half time. In added time after 45 minutes I was regretting our inability to clinically finish our chances and becoming anxious about a Morecambe fight back in the second half. When up stepped Shay and he perfectly slotted in his free kick.
This time to the left side of the keeper!
He has certainly learned from earlier in the season when he was trying to blast them.
Now he just jogs up to the ball and concentrates on curl and placement.
His kicks are only hit hard enough to clear the wall but then drop towards the bottom corner which makes it very difficult for any keeper to get anywhere near!
The changes in the match came when Bentley did his double substitution on 62 minutes and when Seamus Coneely picked up his injury. We lost midfield and sat back too much and it was worse still when Seamus hobbled off. Coley brought on 'The Don' at left back and moved Matt Pearson into midfield but it did not work at all. Matt went out of the game and we played with all 11 back most of the time so when we did clear the ball upfield it just came straight back!
Marek Rodak again proved his worth in the closing minutes making one really world class save in the process!
It was certainly a nervous last ten minutes of the ninety plus FIVE added on! I don't know where the referee got 5 minutes from? However, we held out for a well rewarded victory.
Yes, it was a nice touch to observe Deano's family loss and I am sure that he and his family appreciated our sentiments.

If Stanley could play for 95 minutes like we did for the first 60 last night then we would be the best team in our Division for sure. I do still think that we just need to be more clinical with our finishing though.....
The football that our boys are playing is wonderful to behold and we should all be spreading the word to our friends and colleagues and get them down to the improving Wham Stadium to see exactly how good it is!
The vocal support last night was superb from our fans and the repertoire of songs was wide ranging. We just need those flags and banners again boys and girls!
Moving up the table steadily now.......Let's see how far we can go!

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS
WITH THE STANLEY
