Hartlepool should be there for taking. We need to be more aggressive and confident against teams in disarray. Plenty of crosses and looking more dangerous towards the end of the half though

Hartlepool look terrible but with Madine up front keep firing crosses into the box and one will drop for him sooner or later, need to stop the supply to him.
Well taken goal to open the scoring, Hartlepool are def there for the taking if we put them under decent pressure.

There's a bit of a gap starting to open up between the playoff places and the rest, even at this stage. We've clearly got what it takes to be up there, just need to take that further step against opponents determined to sit back at the COA
Not having Sassi or EEL in the side hardly hindered us
He was visibly struggling after a challenge near the touchline. Ankle or foot at a guess.
Burger did well in midfield though after that. Industrious to the point we didnât have a real problems after the substitution.
We managed the game excellently, especially after the break when they chucked everything at us with little quality. Bided our time and then got the second.
Our most professional display of the season so far. Really hope displays like this are remembered after our next defeat.
Yes, the manager has a responsibility to ensure we donât lapse back into being slow and ineffective. But thereâs no doubt we donât have that as our preferred way of playing. We want to pass quickly into forward areas but we need to try and eliminate falling into the trap of becoming ponderous in our own third.
Fergusonâs presence may be the main influence on this.
The opposition tonight were night on shocking and their home record is poor so we took a really good chance to impress. Clawed back some positive GD. Clean sheet , feelgood back in business. Pity about Gilmour though.
Feel for Pools supporters, but can't remember giving our lot such vitriol when we were struggling, were we ever that bad though?

Yes we did, yes we were. Simpson, Barrow times. We've been there.
Tonight, after a slow start, Dale showed their best qualities. Against a struggling side, yes, but we did the perfect professional away performance. Our team looked like one and played as a unit. Ferguson in the key CB position makes us so much better at defending, regardless of the sideways tippy tappy rituals we have to go through.
As v Aldershot, Dale fans were well served by screening the game in Ratcliffes. Happy punters again!

Hartlepool actually had some talented players on the pitch, especially in their forward line and we earned the right to win the game through our hard work on the night, without that graft we don't win. They had a right good go, especially for a spell at the start of the second half.
As somebody who doesn't have much faith in any of our central defenders ( I think it's the soft spot of our team) I thought Ferguson had a great game last night and he's now played nearly three games and been excellent. I'm willing to give him a clean slate again now because he's proved that he's more than capable at this level, his last three performances have converted me and i was too harsh in my assessment from last season and pre season friendlies. I'm still not sure why McNulty preferred Sassi, a loan players over one of our own. Hopefully Ferguson will now nail down that spot.
