Re: Dale match thread

Was there enough squad rotation from coley today?
Team looked jadded, shooting confirmed the general fatigue in the starting 11

Re: Dale match thread

could understand starting with the team that wiped the floor with Burton, thought Barclay was daft with that second tackle just after being (harshly) booked i thought for the first one, he was very fortunate to stay on, dont think j.c. had much choice taking him off, dont think that helped our cause today.?also thought we were dumb keep pumping high balls in dales box, cos the keeper was a big lad and pretty good in the air.

Re: Dale match thread

Although Dale seemed to be quicker and more accurate with their passes I still thought that we were in with a chance until McConville was injured and had to be subbed, after that I couldn't see anyone managing to score although Zanzala eventually did.

Re: Dale match thread

Agree that the team look jaded an tired today. Also Rochdale looked a side that certainly wernt struggling with confidence although results would suggest otherwise. McConville going off was a massive blow considering the form he’s been in. Pritchard am sorry to say doesn’t really offer much. Dion an Zanzalar worked hard without any real end product and Barclay looked like he was struggling with an injury or fatigue. We need to dust ourselves down an get ready for Ipswich after a much needed break.

Why we played hoof ball all afternoon I will never know.
Bursik and Charles only 2 who started who had a decent game.
Pritchard only one who looked like he wanted the ball when he came on.
Opoku extremely poor I thought, not his usual self and too often thought he could simply use his size to walk through the opposition.
Don’t think we won a single second ball.
Every bounce, 50/50 ball seemed to go to a Rochdale player.
Hope Bishop is back sharpish, and SM injury not as bad as first feared.

Only 2 strikers in match day 18. Assuming Simpson has gone back to Preston as he was dire.
Barker-Richardson still out.
Need to make this January a good‘un in the transfer market.

Simpson and Richardson both on season long loans decisions need to be made about the pair because neither of them have contributed to the squad which looked tired yesterday, rumours amok yesterday as per usual on a window opening but IMHO we definitely need a striker inbound.

Re: Dale match thread

to be honest think an attacking midfielder is the main priority.

Re: Dale match thread

Josh March - young striker at Leamington Spa....
Forest Green Rovers have made a reported 25k bid for him....
Coley has been to watch him

Sam looked like he needed a good rest Barclay was lucky to stay on the pitch following his extremely late tackles, and as for the totally incompetent and useless display from the one who came on as substitute, the least said the better !

So Cashy, perhaps acquisition of any midfield player whatsoever does appear to carry some priority at this time..

ON STANLEY ON ,.. FORGET ROCHDALE AND MOVE ON TO GREATER THINGS !

Re: Dale match thread

If only Jimmy Ryan was available - he had a good game yesterday, damn him!

Re: Dale match thread

very little movement yesterday compared to the energetic display v Burton... worst performance i can remember for a while.
Sykes deserved MOTM, Pritchard impressed and that was about it.
An idiot chucked a lighter at their keeper.... always one eh?

Re: Dale match thread

Strange how different eyes see different things. I thought we were dire one to fourteen. Man of the match ? Same as my election card. None of the above.

Have to agree sluggish and slow in the pass looked jaded fell for Rochdale's wind up tactics as for man of the match it's done for corporate reasons personally thought Jimmy Ryan one of my favourite ex Stanley players was the man run the show in midfield.

Re: Dale match thread

to be honest we were pretty dire, though couldnt blame keeper for anything imho.
