Rochdale vs Northampton - 13 shots on target and 0 on target
Torquay vs Rochdale - 70% possession we lose 4-2
This can't be seen as acceptable we are just passing the ball around then relying on tutte to have a shot from 30 yards. Its a joke we need to be more risky and go on a decent attack. and our full backs can't cross at all! maybe work on this at training? this is done to the manager to change or rochdale are likely to go down again.

Don't think you've been to the same games I have this season.
That said the stats are telling a story about a team very comfortable in possession, just need to get that cutting edge in the final third. |  | | |

i have a season ticket and judgiing by the games against barnsley and northampton i noticed that not one of mcintyre crosses were in the air. everyone was cleared by the first man which is awful when we have the likes of adebola and donnelly who are good in the air. so have to disagree mate.

Several of McIntyre's crosses have been in the air. He nearly scored with one last week. |  |

i remember that one against northampton although it was down to pure luck and its not really a good cross if its going for goal and not our massive striker adebola whos waiting in the box is it? | | | |

More often than not Adebola hasn't been waiting in the box and I've found McIntyre to work really hard up and down the flank putting in great crosses. I'd agree that perhaps Pearson isn't getting forward to the same degree but I wouldn't taint them both as poor crossers of the ball.

okay your opinion we all have different. but i dont think they have put dangerous crosses into the box and think they should work on them in training. we all entitled to our own views | | | |

Same corner we've used all season. We might not like it, but it's not luck. |  |

It would have been lucky had Kennedy miskicked it, which he didn't. | |

we've had 23 corners in the opening 3 games. we have scored 1 goal from a corner? and that was today. think we need to change this ''amazing'' corner tactic. ok if you say so | | | |

Who said it was amazing? I said "we might not like it"
It's ok when used now and again. | |

I dont think stats should always be believed. At least 3 attempts v northampton were on target. Donnelly had a shot blocked in the 1st half that Im sure was on target, that mcIntyre crossthat was mentioned and wasnt there a crainey header in the 2nd half? Anyway its not been a great start for our forwards - 4 games and no goals aint great. Lets hope these next 2 home games sees that all change. | |

Its OK saying that the guys can't cross, but you also have to look at the strikers. Last week none of them attacked the ball, they just waited for it to land in their heads. I thought adebola looked tired and well past his best. If he had the energy of McIntyre he would get in the box and beat the defender to the crosses or at least peel off and make some space for himself. |  | | |

Agree with that. For al his so called technical capability, Ashley Grimes is the lasiest player I have ever seen in a Dale shirt. | | | |

Personally i think mcintyre and pearson are decent crossers of the ball. And to your point about not one cross in the air, many crosses have been! How many of wisemans crosses were in the air? not many. He had plenty of assists, so it can work |  | | |

Hold on a minute, so we're having loads of corners, crossing loads, shooting loads (all without much success) and your point is that "we can't attack"?
Do you mean we can't attack, or we can't score?
We were a fabulous attacking side against Chesterfield, some lovely quick one-touch football, incisive passing, etc etc. Only problem is, with our wastefulness and inaccuracy we couldn't hit Doolan's rear end at the moment. |  | | |

I know its early days yet but I think tactics are wrong I think we need to go back to 4-4-2 I know we will need to sign a winger (or two) but this I think will be the way forward as using the fullbacks as wingers is leaving us open down the flanks much of the time | | | |
