Totally agree with Macca – thought Rochdale deserved to win. However, I don’t see how we are going to benefit from Michael Symes’s enforced “rest”. Perhaps someone could tell me who’s going to lead the line. Grant has neither the ability nor the “bottle” to do it and the rest, apart from Billy, are just lightweight wingers. Billy is great, but needs someone to play off and, as things stand, I just can’t see who that might be for the next three games.

Someone also said that, after yesterday, Boozer should be replaced. Again, I can’t see where that comes from. One of their goals was a wicked deflection, the last one was punishment for the “muck or nettles” attempt to throw everything forward for the equaliser, and the other two seemed to me to be a result of defensive frailties against a strong attacking side.

Bring back Bavs, by all means, if you want to give up on the play-offs altogether, but I personally would be looking at ways to give the likes of Flynn and McCarten a run. They might just add a bit of tightness at the back. Having said all that, Rochdale were a very good side, and even an unchanged defence might get us back on track on Tuesday. Can’t say I’m as confident about the centre-forward situation though!
