A well-worked goal by the Biffos, but if those are the highlights the other 88 minutes must have been dire.
I think the pitch has been grass-free for most of the season, but it didn't stop Posh and Southend scoring 5 goals there, and Scunny managed 4. Not much chance of that tomorrow as Sheridan has tightened the defence.
Given the Latics are fighting for their L1 place, I'm expecting a tough game tomorrow. They've lost fewer league matches than Dale this season (12/13) and the bookies are offering longer odds on an away win than a home one.
Talking to a Biffo-supporting workmate, their gameplan seems to be to keep it tight in the first half and try to hit on the break, then mount sustained pressure in the second half, so he doesn't expect them to come at us with all guns blazing at the start. Maybe another Bury-style opening from us might take advantage of that.
Have they left the plastic pitch down and just thrown more sand onto it, the ball seemed to be bouncing unusually high, same pitch for both teams though.
