Yes some of us set off at 06:15 this morning wrapped up for an Arctic expedition, was surprised at how mild it was today. I know my support is a drop compared to the rest of you die hard Daleys though [Post edited 24 Nov 2018 20:31]

We were poor today and lucky to get the three points. First half was boring. Also in general no urgency players don’t look like they want to receive the ball at throw ins etc. Very negative backwards and sideways garbage. Two poor evenly matched teams. |
I thought Accrington were decent, agree we were poor 1st half, we got better, especially after Calvin came on. A draw probably was fair, but we scored and they didn’t . Up the dale |  |

We were lucky to get 3 points today and we didn't play great.
We were unlucky not to get 3 points v Doncaster and Luton and we played great. |  |

Hill gets such an easy ride from us it's unbelievable. In the last 18 months we have had to put up with so much dross and there is barely a dissenting voice. Now and again the odd frustrated comment is pounced upon and you would think the knives were out. Great manager, not a very nice man. |
A bit unfair that Deeplish I'm sure Hill is a very nice guy as long as you don't voice disapproval or question his decisions. | |

Difficult game, made ten times more difficult than it should have been by Hills stubborn attitude.
Was never going to work playing Inman and Williams as the front men with Henderson in a no mans land midfield role. Accy can consider themselves a tad unlucky not to have been a goal up by the time that it dawned on Hill to bring some physical presence on in the form of Calvin. Almost immediately, we looked a threat going forwards, and could have scored a couple before Hendo smuggled it past their keeper with perhaps our first effort on target.
In the end, a hard fought 3 points, but for long periods, both our full backs were poor, with only McGahey and Lillis shining defensively. Delaney improved after a shakey start.
Decent game for Camps, with plenty of good stuff from Adshead.
Williams was bang average I'm afraid, and Inman just not involved.
Hill seemed more interested in turning round to confront supporters asking for a forward to be introduced than he was with changing things on the pitch, and it summed his strange attitude up when he stayed on the pitch at half time to speak at length with one of the groundsmen rather than give a team talk. Wierd.
Still; it's 3 points, and a new world record for the number of sideways passes by our back 4. Accy look a decent side, but still insist on throwing themselves onto the floor when faced with any sort of challenge. Typical Coleman ? Perhaps....but you can see that he's improved as a Manager by being back there. |
Disagree with your Williams comment, I thought he played very well today and his pace especially lining up with Calvin caused problems.
Camps, Lillis mom contenders for me |  |

Disagree
Get Hendo as far forward as possible.
With Calvin - whoever.....
Replace Williams with Hendo and get rathbone into Hendo current role and we can look forward to the next 28 games!
A win is a win... 3 points!!
3 fookin points in the 3rd tier!!!

I reckon Hendo’s was a retro one, should have got it when he got his 100th |  |

He does have a propensity to wind us fans up.......bit of a BigHead it seems.
Even though we won and played fairly well today there is certainly an under-current of distaste afoot around San Spotty. | | | |

I thought they played the game the right way but lacked enough real quality to classed as decent. A better question to ask is why was Henderson in midfield and where was clough when we clearly don’t have any teeth upfront. |  | | |

I agree. I think it would only take one or two to start openly showing discontent and the floodgates would open with others. I would say baldy mourinho should start showing the paying mugs a bit more respect. | | | |

I thought in the end we'd done just about enough to earn the three points. First half as acknowledged by everyone was a non event. We looked fragile at the back without actually offering up any real chances, and from an attacking point of view, we looked a bit powderpuff. It struck me that we had too many fairweather players - players who in a great team performance could rip a team to shreds but on your average day will be looking around for someone else to make the difference.
Didn't see Calvin's introduction as making a difference but he did, and the likes of Williams' game was massively improved by having Calvin on there. We just looked much more solid with Calvin and but for some better decision making, we could have added to our lead.
Was a bit worried when Perkins came on. There's been bags of history between Perkins and Accy even going back to his Morecambe days and he didn't need a repeat of last week's horror show at Shrewsbury. But he did the job he was brought on to do. He's still very good at breaking up attacks and making a general nuisance of himself but both him and his team mates need to know he can't run with the ball anymore as he will be caught in possession and opposition teams will be targeting him.
I think it was a good time to be playing Accy. Two months ago, I think they'd have won that game but I suspect that post-promotion crest of a wave is starting to wear off now. They've not won a league game for a month or so now. I know we as Dale fans can be somewhat snobby about Accrington but they're a decent side. The lad up front caused us all sorts of problems but it was a shame that the ref didn't pick up on all of his shirt pulling. Was a bit of a worry when we had both centre halves picking up bookings to him. Was pleased to see Kee play away from the danger area. It'll never catch on playing your most dangerous player in a part of the field where he can't threaten.
As for us, again it was another performance which suggests were are 90% of the way there, but that extra ten percent needed to make us a really good side is proving to be very elusive. There's a lot of good stuff but to really take advantage we need something else - something like a Stephen Dawson style player in the middle. It's becoming clearer that we don't have it within our squad to fill that gap. Perkins can no longer play that way, and it doesn't look like Cannon will have the opportunity to do so.
I suspect Adshead will now become a regular in the first team. i think Hilly has been reluctant to throw him in when things haven't been fantastic but the England call ups will have brought a confidence that should allow him to maintain a starting position. if there's criticisms of our young players (and young players in general) is that they haven't really kicked on with their careers and become better players at 22-23 than they were at 18-19. it's clear Hill has high hopes for him and when you hear Hilly talk about Adshead in the same breath as John Stones, it shows the ambition that exists for him.
Good to see Lillis back. Can't remember when we've started three different keepers in three successive league games before. For all the rights and wrongs of keeping him out, he usually comes back all the better for it. He is our best keeper and I don't think we'll see him out the side any longer. |  | | |

To be fair with the hendo 'playing in midfield' in the current system it is working. For me he's playing as one of two number tens they are very high up the pitch and he's still scoring goals from that position.
Problem with the current system is the gap between the back four with camps and the forward line up is pretty large and requires a lot of movement and running from those up top for the defence to find a pass. First half yesterday showed what happens when there's little movement from the front 5. When we did find a pass we looked really dangerous but we had to be far too patient.
Second half was much better. And with the match being so close dropping adshead to be next to Camps made sense to just try and defend the lead. | |

Ask yourself how many Daleys spend a whole day travelling to watch 90 minutes of football James. There is no such thing as a good fan or bad fan anyway. A fan attending one game per year if that's all they can manage is just as worthy of merit as a season ticket holder going to all away games too. It isn't a competition. We are all supporters (I think). | |
