Rochdale (A)

Very good game that,first half we were excellent,second half Rochdale came back into it and were the better team second half!Gutted with conceding that late goal but proud of the team performing like that with all that's going on around them!!
 
Thought the first half we were clearly on another level, second half was very poor. Pearce was very good in both Half's though. Should be better, especially Vs 10 men, however I feel that is down to lack of experience. A experienced midfield and centrebacks would have seen that out easily.

Played four full backs at the back, so not exactly surprised. Really hope we can find some bodies.

Sorry exiled I cannot agree with that, Dale were never in it until a punt upfield and error from Evans let them back in it, even then only one team played any football and we should have scored at least four more goals.
 
A shame centre half got injured for second goal. We missed Gardner when he went off. Goal apart Joseph was quiet. Lang should have had more than one goal. Tough to take but keeps our good run going and we have to be confident of staying up.
 
Well done with the three attacking players Latics. All scoring, sadly spoiled by the Cook like ending of not holding on and a late equaliser by Dale.
We are getting there but that should really have been killed off against ten men for the whole half.
Two points squandered.

The only thing that can be said to be "very poor" was the missed chances.
 
Enjoyed the game. Really good to see our movement up front with Lang and Joseph running beyond Keane. Lang was everywhere. Lots to be positive about. We are improving and if we keep up this rate of improvement we will stay up easily IMO
 
Good game from new boy Darikwa, solid apart from the early 1st half free kick he gave away....think if we had 1 or even 2 centre backs we might have seen that game out....such a shame to only come away with 1 point instead of the 3 points our efforts deserved....
