Drawing against a top rival in this division isn't a bad performance. Although we dominated, we should have won with more quality in the opponent's box. The season outcome is not cause for concern, we are so competitive in every game, and this squad are a great bunch. And as long as the lads are giving it their all, we are going to win this league or be there abouts.
I do think the midfield could have served Dev better when the ball was moved around central of the pitch. Many times he wasnt marked closely, and he was asking with his arms for the ball. Instead it went to the right.
Really looking forward to this, and hope we keep the pressure on the opposition by playing our best players on fire and unstoppable. Sub them if struggling later in the game. We must keep up the momentum; it's a squad game, but let's see the players who are currently having a blinder in the starting 11.
We can go all the way with this team because of the high energy for the 90 minutes, the subs that complement or improve the quality of our game, a threat and dangerous. Jim's got some team players in; recruitment has been spot on; decisions, I'm sure, helped by staff, Taylor and Dunn. Long way to go, but its looking great at the moment.
Strip searches tomorrow, and you can buy a memorabilia Dale rubber glove from the club Shop. Although, it might need another strip search to go in and buy one.
Ridiculous and over the top. Queueing up for the main stand, there was an old guy in front with a flat cap, who was told to remove it. Maybe to see if he had any pyrotechnics, planning a blue smoke Dale celebration. His wife was searched, she was taking her coat off, hand had a bag of wool for crocheting. I was having to unzip my coat and spin round for a back check. WTF.
High energy performance and kept focused for the full 90. All tuned in on the same frequency, partnerships, passing and moving. Doing the basics right. Had Boreham Wood in their pocket.
I don't think they would moan if it's a fair price to pay. I'm thinking of those with a budget; buying a coffee and a pie is an expensive treat at Dale. Affordable for one, or for those with a decent wage. Part of the match experience. But make it affordable for families who turn up, especially the new supporters. At the moment its a treat for the affluent. I'd be happy with hollands on match day to bring the price down.
I get that, but reckon it sends punter to sausage rolls instead at 3.50. Few people moaning in the queue too in front of me, wincing at the pie prices. But the rolls, I imagine, they have a strong mark up as cheap to make.
I must admit the steak pie was quality in the main stand. 6 fikin quid though? Have they gone up? Premier league pies are cheaper. I think 4-50 5 quid is fair.
I'm hoping Dale throws the kitchen sink at them and plays to our strengths with confidence—no need to be tentative; show why we are near the top and up there for auto promotion.
Perry fitted in well without standing out. But it's good that fans from his club rate him. Lots of tests ahead in February, a critical month.
Bilonga looks strong, protects the ball and has energy. Early days for him, and hopefully he gets to gel more with the team. He's only been here two minutes, though and is learning our game.
Of the new guys. I thought MD Mk2 looked great today, he's got skill, strong and good on the ball, and his finish was excellent, a well-timed execution that gave the keeper no chance. Another shrewd recruit for Jimmy, it's great, he has the knack of bringing in players who fit. It does help for new players with have had a nomadic career I think, coming into to a welcoming dressing room with good grounded characters who've been here a couple of years with good souls like Ebanks, KG, TAR.
A good victory against Brackley on Saturday puts us back on course—no time to panic. We've a good squad and excellent management to keep them fighting for the top.
Its Important to keep up pressure and fight that lead to our top spot. We don't have a divine right to pick up points from teams with their own survival/promo agenda.
Up against it tonight, and we need to be able to cope better against teams that like to go man-to-man and apply pressure in our half of the pitch.
Key players are out, and new heads are in, which is definitely affecting us. Rodney and Smith struggled to partner up. Walley ok defensively but slowed down the momentum when attacking, and Pritchard looked to be off the pace.
Great last 20 mins. Some of the other guys who came on who have been waiting in the wings maybe be given a chance next game
