George Maris head and shoulders MOM, Benning did well, it wasn’t a classic but on that pitch good football isn’t easy.
We are desperate for an alternative to Jamie Read in the closing stages

I’m afraid to say we are desperate for an alternative to Jamie Reid
from minute 1

[BH_Stag]

Nice to stop the poor run. Morecambe were absolutely dreadful and would have liked us to work their keeper more but it’s job done.

[robbingdog]

Maris has been our best player this season in my
View
Bowery has done ok.
The big question is which of the current players can
get us to perform at the top end of the table

[Spiritater]

One thing Reid does is work very hard to close down defenders.

[The One]

Brilliant defensive effort. Limited Morecambe to very few chances.

Play-offs?

Its nailed on

[northern stag]

I think Reid needs his eyes testing, he doesn't seem able to judge the flight of a football, always just going over his head?

He does well when the ball is hit to his feet, anything he has to move to get he's half a yard off the pace in his head.

Absolutely this

Too right , with Cambridge and Bolton you could see the threat coming, but Morecambe were so poor it makes yo wonder how they’ve got to 4th, not one of their players stood out

[smulls]

What's Adams moaning about, they created raspberry all today

Like you moaning about Mansfield!!

Maybe we stopped them?

As others have said, Maris was superb as the DM and the back 4 were very solid.

A bit disappointed with Clarke and Reid today, Law lacks real pace but did OK.

[arsene wengers coat]

Missed the he but delighted at the result and for Bowery to get a goal again.

Eases the look of the table.

Coys.

[northern stag]

Maybe we did, but they didn’t appear to have any flair to create anything, just lumped it forward, bit like us under Dempster

That's the way they play and it's been very effective. The much criticised Sweeney and Rawson barely missed a header all game. I think we stopped them, but we need to be better further upfield.

[Spiritater]

13 points from 16 games now

[STAGS FOR LIFE]

Be great to see smile on NC face because i am beaming

That is the way to see a game out ,well done and a nice 3 points to the tally .

Gazza goes again ,well done

It's a bit indicative of your average Stagsnetter.

When we lose it's because we are crap & nothing to do with the opposition.

When we win it's because the opposition is crap & nothing to do with us.

I though we looked ok today . The only area where we look light was up front ....but we all know that.

Well done boys

[yorkshire stag]

it’s just that winning feeling at 5 o’clock you just can’t beat it

This. Well done Nigel and the lads. Great clean sheet. Let’s kick on now.

[Torrystag]

Totally deserved win ,they all played their part ,,roll on tuesday

[Johnny H]

Maris.....MOM by a mile (Again)

[london amber stag]

Saturday night is always better with a win!

[1970Stag]

So pleased to get this result, I've been bricking it after the last few results, so it was really good to turn it around, and at home, well done lads!! Another step towards safety!

[STAGS FOR LIFE]

[Sandy Pate Best Stag]

A solid all round performance which was far superior to Tuesday’s effort.

The Stags were by far the better team without threatening too much but credit should be given to the defensive efforts of Morecambe. They are not mugs and are in the playoffs on merit.

Hard to pick a man of the match but my vote has to go to Maris who covered every blade of the pitch and never stopped. It’s important to follow this result up with a win on Tuesday night which again would be a considerable achievement.

Well done to all.

George Maris was my Man of the Match closely followed by Stephen Quinn. They were both very good today. Mal Benning played well. I've never seen him head the ball so much. Farrend Rawson also played well and didn't give Cole Stockton a sniff. Jordan Bowery and Jamie Reid worked really hard up front.

We played well in the first half. Lots of head tennis in the second half and had to scrap but we won all our headers and most of the 50/50 battles. An excellent three points.
