Isn’t it interesting that the posters who have done nothing but whinge, complain and slag the club off for he last weeks have been absent today. |
This is not a whinge and as I wasnt at the game I cannot comment on the performance, but it was obviously a great result.
Our cup form has been outstanding this season, it has been our failure to transform that into league games that has been perplexing. That is the challenge we now face now as we have after all our pevious cup performances. For that reason I am not reading too much into this result for our league struggles just yet. |  | | |

Was there anyone not up in the air when Bunney's shot went whistling past the post? Must admit, it wasn't as close on the replays as I thought it was. |
Sitting where I was, I had to be somewhat reserved I'm afraid !! However, I viewed it from Bunney's angle and couldn't help but manage a lower cheek shuffle during and after the shot as that was one of the sweetest half-volleys I've ever seen. |  | | |

I must admit KH got the team right, when we heard the team we were shaking our heads, but the Dale well yesterday, with Cannon being the MoM for me with his attacking role and excellent defending. I must also give credit to McNulty who organised the defence, making sure people where in the right positions when defending. I will give credit to Andrews who I still is not good enough due to his lack of positioning, lack of goals, but yesterday he played very well he got into the right positions, he played sensibly and did not get pushed around. In fact all the team should get praise for the effort they put in.
However the team something the failed to do most of the season, they passed the ball on the ground and ran at the defences to open them up and got into their faces, crucially instead of over passing the ball, we got the ball into the box straight we does not defenders to get organised. The game plan was better then the long ball football we have been seeing most of this season, which is meat and drink for defences in this league. One criticism is that we had the chances to kill the game and failed to take them, which is a weakness that as cost us all season and is one reason we have drawn 10 games this season.
Hopefully we can play like that at Gillingham next week and get some points. |
What have you got against Andrews, NorthernDales? | |

it is nothing personally against Calvin, I accept that he works hard, but he is to me a bog standard league 2 player. He is big and strong, but his goal scoring record is poor, instead of causing havoc running into the box to meet crosses he is either standing waiting for the ball to come to him or no where near the box, how many times to you see muscled off the ball by somebody half his size. That is the difference between a good striker and a poor striker, look at how for Dale strikers like Murray and O'Grady performed and how Calvin performs most games to see why I see as a league 2 striker.
As I said yesterday he up his act and created problems for Doncaster defence and I will give him credit for that, it is a pity that he does not do that every game. | | | |

I found Keith's post match interview interesting he basically said Andrews performance was incredible defensively and energetically and to get a goal is a bonus as that isn't his remit. Calvin is obviously doing everything he's told to do and he isn't in the team to primarily score goals. [Post edited 7 Jan 2018 15:08]

Calvin MOM by some distance.
Big Jim after a scary opening 40 seconds and Andy Cannon pushed him close.
Hendo had a cracker of a game too.
4th round here we come.
Despite Having a dislike for Ferguson I enjoyed Donny. Great stadium / set up / stewards and the fans were great too both pre and post match. Several good luck next round shouts as we headed back to the car.
Dale fans backing for 90 mins was immense. If only that extra energy positive created could be replicated at Spotland!! | | | |

Hendo (as always) was everywhere. I reckon when they do all the match stats, he may well have run 2km more than anyone else in the side yesterday. its amazing that he has so many detractors. |  | | |

Great result and battling performance. Premier League team away please |  | | |

Great result from all concerned and rightly taking the credit for a win.
From what I've read (and I wasn't there) it was like chalk and cheese from poor performances against Doncaster and Blackpool?
We now need to get one or two of those 1-0 wins into our league campaign and hopefully, the players who found their feet yesterday can continue to get better. |  |

Do we know Donny's team yet......at least that Ben Whiteman who scored the opener last week would n't be playing,he's gone back to his parent Club.......
Does 'nt look like we're bothered? |
Why don’t you attend games that take place in Yorkshire?
If you did, you might post 5% less drivel. Lets be honest, we would still have to suffer 95% drivel though. | | | |

Of course I enjoy being with Dale fans. I simply like watching matches from near to the half-way line. Nothing more sinister I'm afraid ! | | | |

At least there'd be a chance of a draw and home replay ...
Away to Millwall or Brentford would be a grimmer prospect. |
Oh bugg*r! | | | |

What about the other one? 😮 | |
