Targeting season ticket numbers is key to increasing overalll attendance. And this phonomenal season wherever we end up, should see a massive increase. Especially with the younger guys as the popularity of u block grows rapidly. It creates so much energy matchdays, weve not had noise loke this for years for obvious reasons.. I say move the block to behind the goals, to suck that ball into the oppostions net. Build on the great work by the new owners and team
Boston was one of the better sides to visit Dale. A team with energy, quick on the counter but thankfully with no end product today. Alert, quick on the counter. And really organized in defence. Lots of pushing, pulling and grabbing on shirts. Especially Boston's Central Defender. He did a job on Mani D, giving him no space. Kept him at bay. Especially in their box on set pieces. A really good win against this team. If we had drawn, though, it would have been disappointing, so many wasted chances on goal. My man of the match was Perry for his first-half performance. Assured and clinical with his passing movement. I hope Rodney starts to find his touch, it seems to ping off his foot each pass to him. Smith showed the way. Although Rodney can be so dangerous and effective too, I'm unsure if I would give Smith a start instead.
I think Petit has earned his place in the starting line-up. He was great when he came on at Brackley, bringing a lot of energy into the game along with the other subs. If defensive midfielder Francis plays, I would like to see him be a bit more adventurous with his passing, instead of playing the short, sideways ball for most of the game. He's surely got a good pedigree with a Man City background to pick out some runners. Hopefully, he will once he gets settled into his role.
Yes, I noticed the pitch was very bumpy and rough. We did really well to play with zip and control, which making our first goal, which included a few passing moves, that extra nice!
For me if we get to 5 points behind, and looking desperate for the title, i think then ill have comfy thoughts on 2nd place.
Currently i cant see past aldershot, winning it. Even though another tester and are going to come at us. I see Dale victorious and on track for the title.
If not reasses after the weekend. Its Game by game.
We've got a big squad, a talented squad but still be pushing hard. Not thinking 'well, we've done great for most of the season '
Say no to complacency. Drawn, Drawn, Won, Drawn...The manager needs to encourage and do his bit and galvanise this squad with positive on-field decisions, every game. To make the most of our position and opportunity, and get us out of this mediocre form.
In this game, a too much of a cautious approach after going ahead.
York don’t do this that’s the difference between us and them.
The team focusing more on not conceding. we missed opportunities to take control of the match, we need to have a more attacking mentality, especially with an early goal, with most of the match to play.
Yes, too many high, lofty shots over the bar. An interesting point I read about Shearer's technique was that when he had a wild swing, or uncontrolled stab at goal, hit it in the ground. Cause mayhem in the box, make it awkward for the keeper and maybe give others a chance.
I feel that for the disallowed goal, Manny D was onside. For Gordon's yellow, the defender does pull out of the challenge, and it looks like a dive. Think we got lucky with the penalty. It looks like the defender got the ball.
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.
