We looked like the men v the boys today which we generally haven't in the last couple of seasons. More likely to score than the opposition and more resilient at the back. Barrow looked like the us of old, pretty passing, playing out from the back (including the oddity of a defender passing goal kicks to the keeper), and ultimately powder puff in the final third. We looked great on the counter - the creation of Kelly and Rodney's (missed:) chances in particular. Could and should have won more comfortably, and based on that we can start expecting to win at home. We've got a plan now for how to win games and look like a proper team. Full credit to the management and all the players. |  | | |

Jim B is really making a difference. Week by week we are looking better and better. Players who were being deservedly criticised are now being deservedly praised. They look like a team now and the vast improvement in defence is, again, great to see.
Long way to go but EBJ is looking like the right choice as manager.
Great to see Ratcliffes / Dale Bar doing so well before (and AFTER  ) games, bringing increased revenue in unlike the CBA attitude of the previous deposed director allegedly responsible for the bars despite questions from the auditors.
It's all coming together. Just needs the EFL and it's tardy so-called independent disciplinary body to grow some balls and make some decisions. Well done the directors.

Quite euphoric at the end.
That’s the first time in a while that we’ve won at home on a Saturday as well!
I suppose that it was written in the stars that Quigley and Canavan would score against their former employers but the former definitely deserved his goal. He was a nuisance to Barrow all afternoon.
And don’t forget how well they’ve been playing until the last couple of weeks so it’s a decent scalp.
Six minutes added time seemed excessive but then I remembered that the entire team celebrated for quite a time after Quigley’s goal. That togetherness was awesome to see.
Loads of effort and plenty of football as well so nothing to complain about. EBJ has really galvanised this squad as well and his passion obviously rubs off.
I was going to say that if we’d got beaten today that this thread would have been about six pages long but I’ve been beaten to it! | | | |

That was the first time in ages that it didnt bother me when we gave away corners and free kicks. Well done EBJ for turning a poor-looking set of defenders into a solid unit. Midfield and forwards could still move the ball forwards faster and there are still individuals who could add a bit more precision to their passing but the progress is there for all to see. Todays victory was hard earned in a typical L2 fashion, grit, determination and effort with some inspired moments that won the game, Kelly's strike and Serikis cross for Quigley looking like the products of concentrated continous practice.
We have a way to go yet but today felt like a corner turned and a monkey off our back, lots of hard work still to come and maybe a spot of shape-shifting in January but tonight there was a grin on my face on the way home . Winning is much, much better than losing. Well played lads!! |  | | |

As others have said, for a side that were deservedly rock bottom 6 weeks ago, the change today was very welcome. This team isn't going to football sides to death or win 4 nil, but all we want is application, effort, attempts to win the ball and try and get forward. Today they gave us everything they had and we can't ask for anything more.
Onto the meat feast on Tuesday now | | | |

Much improved performance at home today. We should really have had more and we need to start converting more of our chances than we still do.
What can't be denied is the difference Bentley has made to the players attitudes. It's night and day to what it was a month ago and we can actually grind out results now.
We've won 4 of our last 5 games in all competitions. Let's hope we can keep some momentum going. | | | |

Giving ourselves the cushion of the second goal was a big thing in today's game as Barrow came at us a bit more in the early stages of the second half.
I like what Bentley has done with instilling grit and fight into the team and whilst I was underwhelmed with his appointment at the time he is proving to be appointment that was exactly needed. |  | | |

'...the first team this season that have been better than us...'
'...the better team, physically & mentally...'
how good is that to see compared to the comments from opposition fans at the start of the season, declaring us as the worst team they have seen for years?! | | | |

Bentley has us up for a fight but he also has us very well organised.
Diagouraga and Ball are in their proper roles and showing exactly why they deserve to be at the club.
Quigley was a massive handful today. Won his battles and should be a priority target for January.
The way O'Donnell celebrated the first goal with the Sandy was bloody brilliant. Everything he does, from marshalling the defence to his involvement with her game too, is such a positive influence. [Post edited 16 Oct 2022 7:16]

Loving how Bentley has galvanised us from a team of strangers into a half decent side with a great teamwork ethic. Exactly what will be needed for the rest of this season.
It wasn't pretty at times yesterday, but the lads all did a job and rolled their sleeves up for the task. I think it's fair to say that we wouldn't have won that game under Stockdale..or BBM so full credit to everyone for the improvements we've seen.
Up the Dale. | | | |

Throughly an entaining game provided by both teams.
Barrow just lacked that bit extra upfront to cause an real danger to dale..
Dale could and should have scored 4 or 5 on another day they might and a team will get a pasting.
Some good improved performances all around, Kelly improving with each game, Ball showed why RS brought him to the club.
Sinclair should have been brought on 10mins sooner for Rodders....
Both interviews by Wilder and Bentley where spot on..
Bring on AFC Wimbledon......
On wards and up wards |  |

Big lesson for Ball there - he got booked yesterday for telling the lino that their goal was his fault.
He had a point, but it was a silly and unnecessary booking that impacts us next week. | | | |

I agree, but there was enough time between the erroneous throw-in decision, the subsequent corner (almost a minute later) and Canavan's header for us to have dealt with the situation better. | |

It also gives Malley (who'd seem to be the natural replacement) a chance to show what he can do
Will be interesting to see who lines up in the Pizza Cup on Tuesday with that in mind. There's several players on the fringes who need game time | |
