Boxing day at Spotland, 3 points would be very welcome but that seems unlikely with our current home form. Will Hill keep the lineup the same as Southend or will it be more chopping and changing? Will be interesting to see if Cannon and Mcgahey start with all the rumours surrounding them leaving. Let's hope the lads are as up for this game as they were against Southend, I'm going for an optimistic 1-1 draw |  | | |  |

Bradford fans livid, had an equaliser disallowed. The ball looks about a foot over the line but the ref didn’t give it | | | |

In the second half we threw everything at them. Hit the wood work, keeper made a few good saves and some good blocks by the Blackpool defenders. We actually worked the ball well but some of the crossing was poor. A deserved result in the end.
Williams looked good at the back. He reads the game well and his distribution is good. Adshead was tidy on the ball and Henderson looked lively playing in a more advanced role. Williams and Gillam didn't really offer much wide and Andrew was poor when he came on. I was impressed with Rathbone's energy and willingness to run with the ball. He is looking back to his early season form. |  | | |

Would like to think so after that, massive win today and we all know how hard it is to beat ten men. Unchanged side and good brave substitutions, well done that man....Blackpool are a good side but we were that little bit better today. What can you say abot Hendo? The man is a class above......If we can grab a share of the spoils v Bradford it will be the icing on the cake...... [Post edited 26 Dec 2018 17:37]

Agree with all of that
It looked like it was going to be a frustrating point but Blackpool put their bodies on the line before Hendo popped up where he needs to be
The Andrew cameo was probably the worst i've seen him play for some time, wonder if he's on his way? And Williams11 returned to relative anonymity when i was hoping his goal against Southend would give him fresh impetus. My MoM was his namesake. He had his work cut out with Gnand... their big lad, but found time to launch Dale forwards too
All's well that ends well, i suppose - and a decent Boxing Day crowd with Dale fans going home happy |  |

Henderson's 283rd Dale appearance today, taking him above Steve Whitehall into 8th place in the club's all-time list.
Shaun Reid (289) is the next target. |  |

Agree with what’s been said elsewhere. Early days but thought MJ Williams was superb at centre back, committed a bit rashly at times but sure that will change with experience. His distribution was superb and it makes such a difference having a player naturally comfortable on the ball in central defence. Was very impressed with the middle 3, was the best I’ve seen Camps play for a long time ( admittedly my last game was Barnsley!)
Nitpicking but I think Hendo needs a bit more quality around him if we truly want to challenge, Hopefully that will be addressed over January. Also think our crossing from wide areas has to be more consistent, hopefully that will come with Hart’s return though.
Overall though I’d much rather us play the way we did, which wasn’t in particularly easy conditions given the sending off, than with Andrew and Wilbraham both up top. No criticism meant, particular to Andrew, but we always look better when we play as a footballing team. |  | | |

when they return to full fitness, where do Hart, Dooley and Thompson fit in? | |

Hart will oust Done (but good on Kgosi for today in his position) who may in turn replace Williams11.....Dooley back as sub and can't see JoeyT anywhere near starting. | | | |

And what about Clough....haha. Other than Thompson, has there been any confirmation that the players you mention are actually injured and not just in Hill's bad books? Done shifted up top today, he might get another look in there if/when Hart comes back in. | | | |

I think the booing was more to do with the delaying tactics of the player being substituted, rather than the appearance of Joe Bunney.
The player was being booed for the length of time he was taking to leave the field. |  |

Nope, he was specifically booed
Firsty, as soon as his name was announced
Secondly as he entered the pitch after their lad had gone off
There was also booing as you mentioned, for the slow walk but the above two were over and above that.
Not by one or two either, a good number in the TDS. [Post edited 26 Dec 2018 19:10]

Sad fookers if that's the case. JB was a 100% player when in a Dale shirt. He deserves better..
Was good to see Steve Davies and Joe Bunney engaging with Dale fans and signing autographs, posing for selfies etc.. How it should be..... | |

Joe Thompson was booed when he came on at the last game last season. Some people are trashy individuals. I was quite sad to see bunny go to be honest. |  | | |

The booing started as soon as the words "Joe" and "Bunney" were boomed out across the airwaves.
I'd love to know the reasons why. | |

There's rarely any reasoning behind that type of negativity, it's just mindless | |

Has Keith Hill got his mojo back?
Quick to switch Done up front. Gambles on leaving Camps on the pitch and going for 2 more attacking substitutions.
Feared a Blackpool travesty but the pressure finally paid.
Notice the scores below us were decent. In particular the Bradford winning run ends.
Credit thought to Keith Hill on this one, well done that man. Hope it feels good. |
Wouldn't go that far,
But it was a positive performance so credit where credit due,
Adshead will be 10 times the player Cannon is so not arse he's leaving | |

Thoroughly enjoyed that game today. Won't comment about details as it's pretty much all been said already, but I have a greater appreciation of the siege of Leningrad now (albeit milder conditions at Spotland today). I really didn't think we were going to be rewarded for the battering we gave their defence then up pops Hendo (two wins 2-1 on the bounce when he has played CF). How fortunate are we to have him at the club with his unstinting loyalty?
We still don't have that clinical edge to easily finish teams off that we are on top of, but grinding out wins give us exactly the same number of points, consolidates our position and gives us a little more confidence each outing. Thanks for the belated present Santa! | |
