Teenage defender Craig Dawson got the nod as MOTM for the home win against Bury at the weekend following votes on this website.

Dawson had an outstanding game against such a highly regarded forward line to such an extent that Dale keeper Kenny Arthur had little to do. This is the third time this season that Dawson has been named as MOTM by readers of this website.

The MOTM is put together following the interactive Player Ratings that this site offers after every game. After all the votes are, the player with the highest rating is automatically calculated. This season, we are taking this a stage further and maintaining a running total of the number of MOTM awards for each player.
