Brave hearts today, well done Hilly for putting a team out full of energy. Get some Ale down your neck and enjoy it Hilly, no expectation of winning the cup....yet.
I enjoyed today's victory more than the Leeds game, terrific atmosphere in the TDS.
Brilliant team spirit from every single one of them, Special mentions for Camps, Lancashire, Rafferty and Bennett who were outstanding.
So much different to the Fleetwood game, full of energy, enthusiasm and desire, the whole team worked their balls off!! Fully deserved and into round 4!

Agree. That's the loudest I've ever heard Pearl Street today. I think the Main Stand joined in at one point!

Having been a recent mover to Pearl Street, I still miss the atmosphere in the Sandy lane end. TDS doesn't touch it. Its odd as so many more fans.
Everybody was fantastic today. It's hard to single anyone out but Camps was brilliant - I'd like to see him play a lot more from now on. In a way I'm glad Henderson didn't play today, he seems to have lost a bit of form lately and the youngsters' pace and enthusiasm was just what we needed.
Keith had to play the boys with Dawson out injured and Henderson rumoured to be ill. We knew they would play with energy and no fear. And I like Logan, how he always runs at his man. He's very attacking. They didn't let us down. Some of the passing by Camps was superb. After Vincenti dispatched the penalty the way it should be done, take note Hendo, he could have scored a second with a relatively easy chance but he blew his lines. I thought we were doomed when Lancashire and Lillis collided. Lancashire was out cold for a while and I guess Lillis was too but I couldn't see him properly. I didn't fancy us with Diba on the pitch so I was very pleased when Lillis got up...and Lancashire for that matter! Then Done had a very good opportunity to score when they had a defensive mix up. A one on one which failed but it fell to Allen to put it away. I felt it wasn't going to be our day when Allen failed too.
Bennett deserved MOM. He played out of his skin using his body to block, whatever was needed. He was in the right place at the right time. It was TEAM Rochdale at it's very best with every player contributing. We wanted to win far more than they did and it was that spirit that saw us over the line beating the once double Champions of Europe.
Logan my MOM, very skillful and absolutely ran his socks off. Mind you, the same could be said for Done and Tanser. Jamie Allen was his usual excellent self. Very pleased with the whole team today, never gave up and totally outclassed Forest.

Ditto, Forest are no mugs you could see they are short on confidence. We wanted it more today, that was the bottom line.
Lillis had a very good game, and stood firm under severe pressure at times
I'm a Lillis fan but he really needs to work on his distribution. Too many poor balls going out for throw-ins in our own half or keeping hold of the ball for far too long when attacking players were making runs down the pitch.
Done gave us everything today. It didn't look like he's distracted in any way, if transfer rumours are indeed true.
When Lillis was getting treatment, Done was by the goalmouth. The Sandy started singing "We want you to stay, MK is a sh*thole etc." Done turned round, had a laugh and said "I know."
I was talking to some Forest fans before the game and I said Pearce would be sacked if Rochdale won. They said he wouldn't be sacked because Pearce is one of them and they were still singing his name even though Birmingham were thrashing them recently. They said that their owner is very rich and he is a crowd pleaser. Pearce is a crowd pleaser so he stays.
