Dale match thread
 

Same ref as the away fixture! :eek: Let’s hope it’s a different outcome.
Come on, Stanley, a good result will keep KJ drunk for another day.;)

Re: Dale match thread
 

with Dale carrying a few knocks reportedly and a tv cup tie v Newcastle in a few days, maybe a resurgent Stanley will not be to their taste today. Shots on target could do wonders for our goal diff - looking for a 'wynonie' .

19 fouls and 2 yellows for Stanley, 6 fouls against Rochdale.
Are there ref rants on the way, I wonder?

Re: Dale match thread
 

Afraid not exile, we where fortunate to have 11 men on pitch. Barclay's second foul was a clear yellow but I appreciate the sensible refereeing not sending him off and the sensible substitution. I think we missed Barclay combative midfield play when he went off. Rochdale got a grip of the midfield and where dangerous on the counter attack.
Throughout the game we huffed and puffed with not making too many clear Chances and when we did until late on we fluffed are lines. First half was even for me but Henderson showed his class against us again to put them in front. Second half I though Rochdale controlled it quite well but credit our team for keeping battling which for the forced the closer finish.
Zanzala won a bit and held play up front quite well today. Dion is looking a player both in work rate and link up play. Our dale whodo continues... At least the league position and points gives a good place to at the very least ensure another season in league one and who knows maybe a Wembley appearance...

Rochdale had a game plan and we just fell into their arms.
Too sloppy, gave the ball away too easily and we were far, far too sluggish in possession.
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.

we lost today i think cos most of our shots were conversions, a mile oer the top. we were quite abysmal consistent though as it was for all 90 mins. i console myself with fact Rochdale are our Bogy side.
