agreed - the dynamic runs were back one of which led to the chance Dieseruvwe should have buried, another to the pen. (all less than DA's 30 mins rule!) & East's goal.
ps - don't bother trying to placate DA; it's like asking Trump to be humane |

I was interested in George Delves answer to the question on contract extensions where he claimed "a substantial amount of the squad are nailed down beyond the end of this season".
According to my records 18 of the 27 (non-loan) players have contracts expiring in the Summer including:-
all defenders bar Adebayo-Rowling & Bilongo
all midfielders bar Gilmore, East, Petit, Francis (& Humbles)
all strikers bar Rodney & Dieseruvwe
Welcome any corrections but if right Delves was perhaps putting a gloss on the facts? |

Some appreciation form the FGR Board - "Oh for a defence like Rochdale, that marsalls itself forward and back into shape in a nano second -like an army of stormtroopers in Star Wars circa A New Hope ..." |

Absolutely - for me that was the performance of the season. Once we calmed down (as 442 noted), stopped attempting wonder through balls and played our possession game, we simply dampened their spirits and nullified every one of their threats.
Moss and Barlow were supreme, East & Gilmour were marked out of the game but we found a set piece way to go one up and from then for me there was never a doubt about the result.
That for me was a performance that wins leagues, a performance of champions. [Post edited 7 Feb 17:58]

Excellent - thanks Ell.
Is it worth copying to the Club. local MPs and Rochdale Council - quality publicity for the town which plays well alongside the For Generations to Come promo? [Post edited 5 Feb 17:36]

a great post and that distinction between constructive & negative criticism is crucial - clearly a distinction several fans near me don't make, as they expressed audible frustration on Saturday after us scoring 2 & hitting the woodwork 4 times!!
McNulty and Gordon in their recent interviews make the point - whatever you think of the tactics, selection, formation or style, keep it to yourself and just loudly support the team .... I think last night we (the fans) played a major part in the win at the death. In small grounds like ours the players can hear negativity and often it breeds uncertainty and defeat!
Thing is the world does change and you can't pick the bits of progress you like (non rusting cars/ hip ops etc) and not have the bits you don't (tippy tappy football).
As they say - nostalgia ain't what is used to be [Post edited 28 Jan 14:57]

true, but don't forget the 0-4 to York where he was at fault for at least 2 of their goals - I don't agree with CumbriaDale that it was York's superior midfield. |

Agree about Pritchard (and Moss had done his defensive role well before) - not about Allarakhia - thought he overplayed and lost the ball more than once.
Gilmour was immense, Gordon & Perry very good, Burger effective - Dieseruvwe less so. [Post edited 27 Jan 22:31]

Serves them right - wasted time throughout & only tried to play after they'd gone behind. Referee poor - Dallas made 4 fouls & a simulation in first half and no booking. |

I felt that was as much because Pritchard played too wide filling the LWB space, leaving their attacker free and not offering an out ball for our defenders in the way Rodney does |

Highlights seem to confirm that - especially the Waller save. Can't see if Hendo's onside for his goal but great execution. Also looks like the retaken pen should have been retaken a 2nd time - keeper's definitely off his line again.
But the Gilmore goal gets better each time I watch - Rickie Lambert would have been proud. |

Excellent post - the whole Club operation is so much more professional.
I think the director's comment was that the cause was probably a mixture of poor construction, materials and maintenance.
It was also salutary to hear (if I heard correctly) that whilst the current substrata work might last 20-25 years, the top surface would have needed relaying in 5 years but further work this Summer to relay the turf would extend that by 10 years? |
