    Thought Rochdale did a good job on us tbf, and the fact that we won ugly is encouraging. We know we can win well when teams try to match us football-wise. More of those will do..

    Getting a win in a game like this, and the draw against Donny a couple of months ago, are the sort of results that successful sides get and can only maintain the confidence in the squad. 4 points from those games when we could have ended up with none.

    Can only praise Stendel today. Made a decisive change at half time (I don't think it was a particular criticism of Thiam more to change our shape and dominate midfield) and whilst we were well below par, we stayed patient and gradually picked a way through them.

    Have you considered moving closer to the front? Your eyesight can't be what it used to be

    Agreed, he definitely had an off game.

    It's certainly miles better than yours, taking into account your persistent and rabid daily criticism of Liam Lindsay! You're the present day version of Hemsworth Tykes's attacks on Bobby Hassell!:D:D

    I have to be perfectly honest here. I only made my little comment about him today to see how quickly you'd notice it :p

    Legally they were doing it by closing us down playing a good pressing game and not giving us time
    Illegally they were doing it by stopping the game flowing by deliberate and excessive time wasting
    falling over at the slightest - or in some cases imagined contact
    shirt and arm holding or as last resort tripping players who were getting away from them - Didnt work on Cavare who managed to ride the fouls a few times ( but then messed up the final ball) but did work on most of the rest of our players

    A lot of what they did was fair and frustrating for us - but the gamesmanship was quite frustrating - though almost everyone does it these days
