Dale vs Cheltenham
at 09:06 22 Dec 2012

As a latics fan who went to your game last night and must say I was pretty impressed. I gather it wasn't a "typical" performance, but you played well - even threw in a comedy OG.
What was impressive to me was the way the players imposed their authority on the game after the OG. After a few weeks of conceding 3 and 4, I half expected Dale to crumble a bit. Credit to them, apart from one volley just after the goal - there was never really any danger of cheltenham coming back.

The lad at Right back looked good and I was impressed with the goals. Some peaches in there.

Good luck for the season.

Better side won
at 17:46 17 Mar 2012

We were crap in that second half. 2nd to every ball.

You brought the pressure on yourselves by backing off, but that what sides in a relegation scrap do. Latics have been in enough for me to know.

The penalty was a correct decision, should have been a red too - but still cant beliece we didnt get one for an obvious handball in the first half.

Beat of luck for the season.

Least inspiring derby of all time?
at 17:15 16 Mar 2012

Living in Rochdale (well norden) - being a latics fan, this should be a big game for me... but it's not. I don't believe it is for Dale fans either.

I went to your game against Bury and was very impressed with Dale. Adams always causes us problems, typical winger - good on his day, but our weak point is our left back. I think he could have a field day tomorrow.

Confidence is hardly high for both sides and I am not expecting a classic.

Prediction 2-1 to you lot, Bunn to score just cos it's against a former club.

No doubt if you do win - there will be a load of plebs shouting for Dickov to go and to be fair if we win Colman will have had enough time and I'll boo him for you.

Enjoy the game

A strange game to analyse really with a sending off. You started much brighter, nipped it about well and but for a good save from Cisak would have been a goal up. We were far far too deep and I thought you looked comfortable on the ball, all wanted it, all wanted to be positive. The handbags in the corner brought us to life really. I was no-where near it, it looked nothing to me, but the dale fans were not happy with Taylor.
The penalty - looked soft to me, but did he get the ball? I wouldn't say he did either.
Trotman had to go, stupid foul having already been booked. Idiotic decision making from him.We were going nowhere at the time, well inside our own half. The handbags and lets have it gestures from Trotman were poor, but so was the stick he got from our fans - he always put a shift in for us.
If we didn't score the 2nd, we are flaky and I think you could have got something from it. (Even at 10 men) - The second went in, great header, but he had a free run in. That might have been trotman's man, but still that was poor.
2nd half and we created a few good chances, but we cant finish. We were never really troubled and it fizzled out. All the way through we lumped it far too much. When we did pass it we were a better side.

Special marks to your keeper, pulled off a few good saves and also to Holness who I thought was again excellent. Akpo-Akpo worked his knackers off and your winger (adams?) was a threat. You just didn't get him in it enough. I was relieved that Kennedy didn't play, he and Jones ran the show last season in both games and Kennedy was one of the best midfielders I saw. He doesn't give it away. The guy in today might be quicker, and more mobile, but he isn't as good (off what I saw today)

Our keyboard warriors will give you grief for the size of support, but you made a decent noise, and you did it when you were 2 down too.. We had 4200 for a derby game, thats MASSIVE obviously!

To the dickhead who was giving us cut throat gestures at the front whilst sat with your kids, sort your life out and loose some weight. To the rest of you - see you at spotland in March, I will bet we finish within 5 points of each other. Both a bit toothless. Good luck for the season.
