Corey Edwards starts, good luck young man.
Wingbacks swapped out for Toby and Poku. Left footed Poku on the left one assumes.
Rodney and Mitchell up top. |

Morale boosting result hoped for tonight.
1-0 win in the 98th minute would do nicely please, oh football gods. |

What’s done is done. Can’t change the past and the players will be hurting as much as each of the fans.
Away game is possibly quite fortunate to take the minds away from Spotty.
Bouncebackability required. 7 games to go. |

In post match interview Big Jim mentioned that he hoped Jay Bird would be in a better position for Sat alongside Hogan and Barlow.
Good to hear. |

Would have been a great 3 points, shame about the foul - gifted equaliser.
With a makeshift team we did ok, but as at Oldham and Southend couldn’t get the second.
Woking naturally threw players up front and long balled it, no criticism of that - it’s an effective tactic when chasing a game. Coped well with that until the pen.
EELs i thought was great tonight. Gilmour stood out too. |

Expecting a few changes following Sat knocks but going off latest club update - only Waller and East flagged as long term injuries.
Beckwith half time sub with a bit of a hammy is a concern
Holden subbed after an assist of sorts for Hendo’s goal equally a concern
Kingdom and Eels natural swaps for each of those but then a bit thin for the bench in defensive terms.
Berger and Barlow also took knocks late on. Few more options here but East/Berger spot possibly more troublesome to fill.
Hopefully all minor knocks that a couple of days physio will have eased - |

I will no doubt get ridiculed- but if we consider just the first 60 minutes of the game last night we were not awful last night for me.
We had one shot cleared off the line and a few crossing opportunities that were created but poorly executed. Our inability to create chances against the best defences is not a new thing.
When York scored i muttered ‘their first ******** real attack’
They had a second chance similar which was ruled offside but i don’t recall anything else of real note first half.
Second half started much the same, defences on top.
The second goal and subsequent was horrendous and i’m not taking away from that period. Their tails up, our heads down. |

York very strong. Not Barnet strong but competent in all areas and sharp up front.
First goal was a great first time sharp cross and poachers finish.
Second was Gilmour fairly getting mugged (after their lad had unfairly mugged him a couple of times)
Third was Ayinde losing the ball when he should never have been passed to in the first place (see Rochdale DNA ad infinitum comments). Then a bit of keystone cops.
Fourth was a procession.
At our best, without stupid mistakes, we could theoretically just about live with York (no laughing please). At our worst, riddled with mistakes, you get what we saw tonight.
Oh well. Aldershot next. |

It was the absolute lack of threat from going behind after 4 minutes that night which led to my ‘comfortable’ comment. York easily coped for 86 minutes with anything we had. |

Barometer game.
IF we are to make the playoffs and IF we harbour hopes of promotion via the playoffs, tonight will give indication of realistic hopes.
Barnet were way too good for us and look like they will walk the league. How we perform tonight against York is next level down. They comfortably beat us at their place early on in the season. |

Well played Boston, fully deserved.
It’s been a while since a Rochdale classic (Barnet away?) but we came up with a belter and Gilmour’s hung head said it all. These are in our DNA.
The second came from another slight bug-bear, we cleared the cross but because we always have 11 men in the box, nobody is ever there to compete for the cleared ball. Their defenders stay in and another evident weakness (Wealdstone at home) saw the ball pumped to the back post and unguarded player scored. This also happened from a set piece second half, cleared, pumped to the back post and Boston had 2 free players.
Third was through debutant doing a no-look back heel and Boston breaking to score.
Waller kept it at 2 in the first half - man of match for me.
Hendo sub was a positive one - he had impact from 46 minute and we created 2 early chances from him
Kingdon on made us more fluid.
Mitchell on made us more dangerous.
The EELs/Hogan thing needs sorting either way, only one spot. Gordon when fit, Kingdon while not.
Mitchell/Bird together seems like a bright idea. 2 attackers. Imaginative.
Shame it took 0-3 and 75 minutes |

Boston are a very different team to game on day 1 of the season.
6 different players on Sat to first game.
Same can be said for Dale, Waller, Kingdon, Hogan, Barlow, Bird have all been brought in and in appearance strengthened the starting line up.
Tough game expected. |

In the first half today we had a great break and 2v1 in TA and KM.
KM made a perfect run for the ball to be slid down the side of the defender but TA thought different.
This was a repeat of a similar position in a recent game only replace TA with Mcbride.
Whether he would have scored is moot, but he is making good runs as a striker should do.
We should have put the game to bed today but moments like the above hold us back. Fast forward into the second half and KM has the option of a tight angle shot or a square ball to TA. Tight angled shot taken.
We should have scored more than one before their equaliser, but that’s our own doing.
After the defeat at home, it was good to see us play well v Oldham.
If the team could get it into their collective heads that they are good enough to look for the second, then third, rather than defend the one goal they really could go places.
Decent point. More than decent performance . |
