Copy & Paste from last week
Set piece in almost the same spot as last week
Box full of Dale defenders as per last week
Free header for their player as per last week
Goal as per last week.
5 minutes earlier than last week |
I’ll start to get worried when Robbie starts saying the players aren’t following instructions, like Hilly towards the end of his reign. It doesn’t matter how big your defenders are if they don’t know what they’re supposed to be doing at set pieces. |  | | |

Awful marking, free header.
I asked Stockdale about the zonal marking at the fans forum. He said that wasn't the problem against Crewe, we just had the wrong line. He also said we'd change it if we need to. It didn't work all last season and every team knows we do it.
When answering another question, he said he stuck with things that weren't working last season and that he wouldn't this season, yet here we are. [Post edited 6 Aug 2022 15:33]

He's tactically clueless this c$$t.
Do the club actually employ a defensive coach |  |

Poor defending from a set piece AGAIN, but what a crazy challenge from ball wtf was he doing. | | | |

We can't keep possession, we can't find each other with a pass, midfield is anonymous and we are producing nothing. |  |

Toss up between Green and Diogouraga so far to who's been their best player. | | | |

That's just the good news. We are also playing at a friendly pace and they are playing like it's a cup tie. Really struggling to find a single positive so far. We're only 1 behind. That's the best I've got. |  |

Its very early days, but I am not seeing much improvement anywhere on the pitch from last season.
Our players look physically slower than theirs and without being an expert id say our whole set up is wrong. | | | |

This is woeful. The worst Dale team in a long time. Mostly old has beens or never has beens. Clueless at either end of the pitch. | | | |

1-0 at HT and as DL says the fact it is not more is probably the only positive ( 2 of their defenders on a yellow could be?). Worse than last weeks first half. Some shocking passing by a number of players & why their guy didn't shoot when a bad pass from Diagouraga put him through is a mystery. As also pointed out by others, second to everything, slower, can't put a series of moves together & winning nothing in the air. Defense looks awful with midfield & the front line anonymous
Ah, another positive, our keeper has done OK !!! |  | | |

One more negative - Hendo and Rodney wasted energy chasing shadows all throughout the first half. Compared to some of the L1 football we played and played against, this standard is miles away. It's very concerning that we are not very good at it either. | |

Gills on cruise control for their customary 3 points against us. Really struggling to find a positive, other than the sun is shining and it's only 1-0. Similar to the period last season with Campbell, our only tactic appears to be the big hoof up to Rodney, but at least Campbell put up a fight. Not really clicking with Hendo yet. It all seems so slow and cumbersome whilst the Gills buzz about, can only (hopefully) get better. | | | |

Back underway. Hopefully there will be some improvement.
May be a change of tactics...then again probably not.
Substitutions will be around 65-70 minutes is my bet |  |

Sounds like the roster has been kind to me based on the comments in the first half. | |

You are currently sitting at no. 2 on the all time Dale-related great escapes just behind JT vs. Charlton. | |

Another positive: Crawley concede against Orient so we're off the bottom
Edit: and now Tranmere - another great escape begins! [Post edited 6 Aug 2022 16:22]

Started off second half under seige but as SL said, coming back into it a bit and playing in their half more. So far. Keeper just kept us in it | |

Ball has had a mare. Bloody silly foul that led to the goal, can't pass to a Dale player, loses possession, Still on the beach. | |
