I really like Cambridge. I think they are the perfect League Two side. Not too dissimilar to us. It's a shame we have so many injuries as it would make for a cracking game.

Blair and Lloyd both getting in great positions down the right but not quite getting the final ball right.

I think that's been Alfie's best half of the season. His first touch, ball carrying, ball retention and passing have been akin to what we saw a year ago.

I appreciate Azaz is doing a job he normally wouldn't but he's not having a great game. Passing and ball retention poor.

What a block from Tozer. What. A. Block. That rivalled his header off the line against Man City.

Hussey doesn't look great walking down tunnel

Very enjoyable half. Anyone watching knows that is two promotion sides going head to head.

Keep the crosses below head height and not blasted at full whack and we can get a couple at least.

Repeat of Mansfield in the cup, got a knock just before HT. Be surprised if he comes back out...then what do we do? Bowry on at CB and Freestone to LWB?

Would probably go four at the back then.

Seems silly keeping him out there, he obviously isn't comfortable.

Horton on. Bless him. It does just show how depleted we are.

Yes. And Long to the left of a back three. No one looks comfortable. A clean sheet would be a miracle.

Jesus Christ, can someone give Peter Matthews some glasses, he hasn't known what the hell is going on half the game. Must be watching it on a small smartphone.

Great result for us if Morecambe hang on after 2 goals deep in injury time!

Oddly, I'd be feeling better about this if Cambridge had had any real spells of danger in this second half yet.

Amazing.

Mettle, guts, determination but most importantly, quality. Absolute quality. It is games like that which turn seasons and secure promotions.

Get in. Get the feck in.

Freestone, Horton...credit where due.

The front three ran them ragged.

What a win. All looks rosier again. Obviously we are still in the s#!t with injuries and rode our luck a bit tonight (wasn't Cambridge's night in front of goal...we have had a few of those), but 3rd and currently 2 points off top. Morecambe in 4th...unbelievable.

Got to give credit to Azaz, I've criticised his fitness in the past but he was sprinting in to the 90th minute
