Morecambe 1 [McAlinden] Cheltenham 0 LIVE Thread

[tim-sanchez]

Magnificent result, especially considering the injuries and suspensions. Not just a win and a clean sheet, but no bookings either?!

[jbc.shrimp]

Brilliant win yet no movement in the table.

[BerlinWaller]

Brilliant result, that's top of the league we have just beaten. Organised, tactically spot on and worked their nuts off.

And now you're going to believe us.....

[Keith]

What a superb result!

Worked really hard. Cheltenham will feel they deserved something from the game but didn't really have any clear chances. Great game!

Worthy of a mention... good referee too.

[redrobo]

Not the best of performances but it's all about results at this stage of the season.

Liked the way Cheltenham played but really no threat.

[RapidShrimp]

WHAT A WIN! Oh, and Stanley lost 7-0, yes SEVEN-nil, have that Adam Phillips!

[dannymorc1]

Brilliant victory, we can grind out the results these days. Well done lads, and Derek of course.

[black morse]

Great result. Delighted my forecast was wrong Oh me of little faith

[tim-sanchez]

To re-open the goalkeeper debate, Letheren had a great game. Lots of tricky situations to deal with from long throws and free kicks, handled them all well

[Screenster]

Incredible result! Perfect subs, limited their wing backs for much of the game. You could tell we'd worked on our shape all week and it's paid off. Absolutely made up for McAlinden scoring his first goal too!

1 point off automatics, 5 off Cambridge at the top with a game in hand, dare we dream yet?

How many did Phillips score

[redrobo]

Letheren reminds me a bit of Lance Millard in his build....

Bulky to put it nicely.

[Westgate Wanderer]

A great backs to the walls result. They probably bossed the second half but only really got half chances. Our work ethic is amazing. Another clean sheet too! Onwards and upwards

[Little Shrimp]

Great result! Good first half performance and while we faded in the second half, we dug in at the back and defended heroically to grind out the win! Did so well too to cope with losing Davis, who'd been excellent up to going off. Ah well...NKP back in next week!

What a season and a group of players. It's not really sunk yet! Big fan of DA saying he's not fussed about clean sheets then pulling off a 1-0 masterclass

[ianmcm]

Fabulous result all round!

[lancaster shrimp]

Fantastic result, not pretty by any means, but 3 massive points. And games like that you need to win at this stage of the season. 2 clean sheets. Special mentions to Davis and McAlinden who i though were immense today. Really impressed with the latters workrate.

I thought someone on here had said of D.A. when he first came, they'd heard he was a fan of 1-0 wins.

Incredible stuff, just gets better, nosebleed time.
Wonder how we will deal with Mr. Mullin?

[Redalert1970]

Let`s just worry about our own game

6 wins from last 9 games will see us get automatic promotion

Tough ask but very possible

Our ex players do like to score against us don't they? However, I'm sure DA will have a plan Marky

Most teams playing top of the League would have parked the bus, one up front etc., we surprised Cheltenham (and me) with our starting 11 and it worked, never thought i would be seeing us winning 1.0 games.
Will be interesting to see how Derek deals with their goal threat, but it's just great watching us now, going into a game thinking we can win.

[parceldave]

Songo will be a miss against Cambridge as i think it was 3 of their goals came from distance at our place , he wouldn't give them the time to line the shot up. We cannot afford to give them that space 20-40 yds out. Hoping Gibson will be able to keep Mullin quiet, he's not the quickest but a few strong tackles might suffice .
