Can't remember a day before when I looked at a set of fixtures in the morning and by the evening every result in the division had gone exactly how I would have wanted. Just need Luton to finish it nicely tomorrow.
Agreed Creepy yesterdays set of league 1 results really could not have gone any better.
Up the Dale.
Big Jim was simply magnificent yesterday!
Akenfenwa is a top player at this level - how I have no idea but he caused us all sorts of problems yesterday.
Onto Bristol now One more win should be enough or in true Dale style 3 draws

Agree about Akinfenwa. It's easy to ridicule him but yesterday EEL & Big Jim had a right battle on their hands. On a difficult surface, his first touch and distribution were outstanding. Battling on with a crocked knee shows how much influence he can exert
EEL & Big Jim just about contained him, and what was even more pleasing, they seemed to enjoy it

couldn't agree more.
I like the big fella..has great awareness of whats going on around him..some very subtle lay
offs..i enjoy watching players who don't look like footy players..even Messi wouldn't give you confidence he can play just by his small stature..Modric is another ..oh to see a front two of Messi And Akinfenwa !!!!!!!!!

Akinfenwa IS a front two. He has his weight in stones on his shirt. 😂

Few quick posthumous reflections on this game ……. to the 442 Wycombe fans who made the trip, most of whom clapped Hendo off even after scoring against them (probably glad to see the back of him in truth).
Akinfenwa is a massive handful in more ways than one but such a seasoned pro. Uses his body and position so well to outwit his opponent, just like Hendo and Calvin and often gets the first nudge in so is first to a 50:50 ball. How such a big man can have such a positive impact still mystifies me somewhat. I always thought this was lacking in Alby's game, but we are starting to see some of that from him now too and not a moment too late.
Final thought - like the Sunderland game when we deserved more than a defeat, Wycombe deserved more than a defeat from that too. That's football though and we've been on the wrong end of too many of those this season and last, so nice to be on the right end for a change.

This is great from Gareth Ainsworth after our game. So positive they will get the points to keep them up and that they would win yesterday. They did.
Its a BRILLIANT goal to cap a BRILLIANT start by Rochdale - Don Goodman 26/08/10
Great positive interview and i quite like the bloke,but he was watching a different game to me if he honestly thought they deserved to win 3 or 4-1
They didn’t deserve to win by that margin for sure, but we certainly got away with a few. Lillis blocking Akinfenwa’s shot with his leg, and McNulty clearing a goal bound effort, are just two that spring to mind.
As I said on the Bristol thread, we didn’t wow the crowd with our display on Friday (which I attended), or yesterday (which I saw on iFollow), but we hung in there and grabbed our chance when it came.

Would agree with all of that. They would have won on points if it was boxing (thank God the game wasn't on Wednesday?) but they didn't batter us either. Barnsley did. The gulf between Barnsley and Wycombe was wide.
That said, the players gave everything and their "visiting dignitaries" all shook our hands as we left and accepted defeat graciously. I said we didn't really deserve all three points but good luck to them for staying up. There was a lot to like about a lot of what they did as a club.
