There was little doubt in my mind about the penalty. From my position behind the goal (was that me joining in with a chorus or two of 'Up The 'Dale'?) I could see that the bloke was clipped from behind. Little choice for the referee other than to award the spot kick.

Shaker is right that playing Craney as a striker doesn't work and we said as much on Wednesday, yet it keeps happening. Once Mannix and Harris had been taken off, there was nothing in the middle to stop the Rochdale players running right through us. Perkins (the little ****) had a field day in the second half, as he moved around largely unchallenged. It's no wonder our defence got over-run after that.
