Thought I'd try and lighten the mood, as tazzy hasn't made a new board in a while. What do you think our best result has been over the past few years (basically since Hill took over)? I'm not talking about best performance, or most exciting match, but simply the result you'd see on paper and be most impressed by. For me there are 3 that really stand out: MK Dons 0 - 1 Dale Away at the league leaders and eventual Champions, down to 10 men after 10 minutes, yet we still won (even saving a penalty) thanks to one of the hardest-working performances I've ever seen. Stockport 2 - 7 Dale Simply for the way we absolutely destroyed a side who'd recently set a record for most consecutive clean sheets. Bournemouth 0 - 4 Dale Bear in mind this was relatively near the start of the season, when any mention of promotion (let alone being top of the league) was dreamland stuff. Our hosts had been leading the division all season and we completely turned them over. This was the result that really made me sit up and think "My god, this could actually be the year..." | |
