Was replacing Cannon with Inman a good idea, in terms of ball retention?
In other news: Accy v Sunderland abandoned |
Rathbone on for Dan Adshead.....add a bit of bite?

I'll try to sound optimistic
If we were going to struggle like we did last season, this is the type of run-of-the-mill fixture we might've lost
As it is, the point adds a bit more daylight between us and 21st place, which in this season of dark winter days has got to be welcome |  |

That’s probably the right perspective.
We dropped far too deep in the second half (despite the wind being against Wimbledon), there were far too many challenges/headers/blocks having to be made in our own area and it was only a matter of time before something dropped. Really basic long throw and they’re level. We started playing in their half again towards the end and it made you wonder why there was a change inbetween. Two points dropped but one gained too after recent capitulations after the opposition get a goal. | |

The swirling wind combined with a uber quick surface and tight pitch was not condusive to a good game.
We played the football and deserved our lead. Wimbledon then did what they need to to get back in it, without ever looking composed on the ball.
We finished the game out well, and our last two substitutes show an attacking intent.
Shame about the Cannon injury caused by a missed swing at a shot. Never looked like he could continue. Hopefully it’s just a muscle strain.
Some comments on individual performances:
Lillis is clearly our best keeper
Rafferty had his best game I’ve seen from him in ages
Perkins was our most influential player when we were in the acsendence
Williams also justified his selection, as Calvin always does
Adshead is going to be a proper footballer, but when Wimbledon had their prolonged spell he struggled and needed to be swapped out
Overall a decent result where we played the football on a difficult day.

Andrew MOM for me! Scored a goal, linked up well with team mates, held up and controlled the ball well and helped out at the back. Perkins for me was disappointing. | | | |

In the post match interview Hill says he would rather see the ball take 3 or 4 passes to get up the pitch than one. | |

I think most people would as there's a better chance of it ending up where it should do but it's been taking us 33 or even 333 passes to get it up there last season and early this. We seem to have lost some urgency. Signs it might be coming back a little? [Post edited 8 Dec 2018 22:49]

Game of two halves, Dale by far the better team first half, AFC far better second half. Draw fair result on a wet and windy day. |  | | |

I think it is promising that by the sounds of it team talks don't include hoof it up to Calvin. Now if the players can follow that instruction a bit more. | |

Must mention a fantastic one on one save by Josh to stop us going behind. Lillis has really had two excellent games in returning. Which makes the goalkeeping merry-go-round all the more baffling. |  |

And on the day he broke the club's goalkeeping appearances record. |  |

It was actually quite an entertaining game with both sides having good periods of pressure. The wind played havoc and Dale were under the Cosh for most of the second half. Thought we were a tad fortunate to get away with a point. |  |

Much better than the same game last year which was a shocker of a 0-0. I would say we shaded the first half and last 15 minutes. Definitely got a battering for 30 minutes though and the defense did very well. They were always going to score in that spell and could have got 2. I stayed for the presentation after the game. Their manager pretty much said the same & was disappointed they didn’t get a second during that spell. |  | | |
