After the draw against Spurs, there was debate about the top five games people have seen at Spotland (to give it its historic name)
It set me wondering where yesterday might rank
From memory, and in date order, i think my previous list was:
3-0 v Southend, 1969 2-1 v Coventry, 1971 2-1 v Darlo, 2008 2-0 v Leeds, 2014 2-2 v Spurs, 2018
I can't honestly say, exciting though it was and such a joyous moment when Wilbraham equalised, that yesterday would knock any of those games out of the top five, but definitely top ten. (I haven't included the two more recent promotions since they weren't "all or nothing" fixtures)
Since then, we've also had the 1-0 v Charlton, which i'd say knocks out the Leeds game
Appreciate the first two in the list won't have been seen by many. Any others?
1987 v Stockport (2-1) Little Lyndon 1990 v Aldershot (4-0) Did O'Shaugnessy score 2? 2001 v Carlisle (6-0) I think we were 4 up just after 30 minutes 2007 v MK Dons (5-0) Tore them apart 2008 v Darlington (2-1) Won on pens

Back in the 90s when I was living in the south of the country, I always used to look forward to the end of season video to see the goals that I may not have had a chance to see throughout the season. The commentary on this game always amused me, and a goal for Wayne Evans!

I think we have been here before D_A. Nothing since 1978 for me but I could not leave out the 1962 two leg league cup semi final win v Blackburn Rovers. To put it into context Blackburn finished runners up that season in the old first division and fielded their full star studied first team, it was long before squad rotation or even substitutes. We played them off the park at home winning 3-1 and despite getting battered in the return leg losing 2-1 emerged winners 4-3 on aggregate. I could also include a 1970 pre season friendly v Everton who went on to become the 1970/71 first division champions. Everton fielded their first team but Dale emerged winners 4-3 with Steve Mellowdew scoring and terrorising the Everton defence. I could name any one of a dozen matches from the 69/70 season and early part of the 70/71 season some of the football was sublime.
Here is a look back to a younger mellower D_Alien before he became the most knowledgeable man in the world.

Connor really was special and yes great commentary.
This is not the time for bickering.

I think that if we'd won on Saturday it would have got into the top five. A bit like the Fulham game on 09/11 which would have been in there if we'd got a result.
