Salford match thread 20:23 - Nov 8 with 9291 viewsRotherhamDale

32 mins in and I can see why nobody could be bothered to discuss the game.

Awful so far. It's almost as if our players aren't allowed to sprint.

Possession with progression.

That first 30 minutes was as bad as anything i've seen at Dale for as long as i can remember, possibly back to the late 70s

Obviously the congratulations go to Henderson for breaking the record, but you’ll struggle to find a better ball played by a Dale player than the one played by Brierley to set it up.

He’s been excellent since coming on.

Make no mistake that first 30 was awful. Ebj must be blind if he couldnt see the issues. No press, too deep and Swiss Jimmy marking thin air.
Thank god for Brierley. Twice the value of Sinclair in his time on the pitch. Rodney is useless, Ball obsessed with going backwards.
Well done to Hendo but he needs to be benched now. His job is done.
I hope to see us actually start on saturday trying to attack not sat in our own half.

Well tonight Rochdale must love Ian Henderson more that he could know. It was a tortuous and convoluted journey but congrats to him on a remarkable achievement. The likes of which will be rarely seen at a professional level in the years to come. Well done my son.
It was all about the result tonight and if you don’t concede you always have a chance, mission accomplished.
I do like the cut of EBJ’s jib.

Obviously he could see the issues, he altered the shape when he saw it wasn't working, pushing ball further forward, whether that worked is debatable, but he had to vision to see his set up wasn't working and tried to alter it.

You can't really expect him to do much more with the limited options available.

Yeah, that he made a tactical change must be recognised as it was brave to play Ball ahead of Diagouraga and almost go with a midfield diamond before Brierley came on and changed the game.


Watching Brierley’s movement and appreciation of space makes games much more enjoyable. We have to find a way of getting him on the pitch as much as possible.

He tried to by playing 4-4-2 but it simply didn’t work because we weren’t getting it wide quickly enough and looking to go forward directly.

For all their possession though, how many real saves did O’Donnell have to make? If anything their better chances came in the second half when we were much more in the game.

Absolutely fantastic assist. He was the best player on the pitch when he came on.

Agree with that. A smaller turning point for me came after Odoh's horrible attempt at finding Ball on the edge of the box first half, something of an all-time low and we then picked ourselves up

The change to Brierley was well-timed and he'd already sprayed a couple of passes which were beyond anything his team-mates could've done before that aerial ball with a gorgeous loop on it just begging for a finish. Salford had just hit the post and missed an absolute sitter before that, but there's no way this team under EBJ was going to give it away after that

Fabulous scenes at the end. From the ridiculous to the sublime; that's Dale all over

You're not that Norman bloke who rang Radio Bolton, are you?

We've scored two goals in the last four games, both by the player you want to bench!

He's doing a good job is EBJ.

I think I am right to say we've now scored in each of the last seven home games.

Rebuilding everything after the events of Summer 2021 will take a good many years but EBJ gets it.

Not pretty and I am sure there will have to be more of that but results are what matters.

We changed shape a couple of times during the first half. Sinclair came infield and Rodney dropped into a RW position at some point.

To come on here and criticise the manager who has galvanised the club following the absolute car crash Stockdale left behind is somewhat baffling.

That was exactly what I said. I predicted at HT it would finish 1-0 with Hendo scoring the winner @ 90 + 3. Wish I'd had a bet now. He was never going to break the record any other way

Thought we set off really positive. Like a team that had had a right bollocking after the last match. That disappeared after about 5 mins and we reverted into our shell. Salfords wide men were hugging the touch lines and our midfield were struggling. But for their poor finishing (Rochdale esq at times) they could have been out of site. EBJ changed the formation and we looks better and got to half time level. Second half was pretty even but a touch of class from Brierley and Hendo’s finish got us over the line. Until then I thought Hendo’s contribution was,as it has been most of the season, negligible. But full credit to the man he did what he is paid to do and put the ball i the back of the net. Glad I was there for that iconic moment.
