Morecambe Match Thread................

[choirboy]

I agree with most of the summing up. Roche made some great saves late on as Bobby Grant looked to be really relishing being back at Stanley. He was very unlucky not have got a goal towards the end of the match. It is great to see Grant and Devitt attacking down both wings and firing the ball in with speed. Bobby's whipped in corners were much better than we have seen for some time too. The defence looked much more solid apart from the mix up between Toto and Nicholls. Apart from that Toto had a great game and Nicholls tipped one over the bar superbly in the first half in front of the Clayton end. We seemed to lose the battle of the midfield in the second half and consequently we defended far too deep. We still seem to need a battling, enforcer in the midfield which we have not had since Procky left. Charlie and Luke Joyce are very similar in the way that they play creatively but they both seem to be a bit inconsistent with their passing at the moment. However, Charlie made some good runs down the left wing towards the end. I think that the team are gradually developing the way that Cooky wants them to play. With a bit more tweaking in midfield I think that we could finish the season well and I hope we can get into the top half. I think a play off position is too long a shot now though.
Come on Stanley.

Great advert for League Two Football last night with the definative game of two halves

First half Stanley cut through Morecambe with relative ease with a high tempo pass & move game that was simply scintillating and the Shrimps were on the ropes while Stanley looked for the knockout blow but despite our endeavour we needed that second goal but credit to the Shrimps they changed their shape second half and came back at Stanley but we still looked a threat on the counter but looked tired towards the end which was hardly surprising given the tempo of the game.

Overall a draw was probably a fair result

Credit to the Ref I thought he was one of the best we have had at the Crown for a while tried to let the game flow and took no nonsense.

No doubt he is a massive asset.

Praying he stays fit till the end of the campaign

Definitely showing the class we know he has in abundance now he is getting a run of games and being injury free
