It's a beautiful sunny day, barely a cloud in the sky (at least it is in SMAC-land, possibly grey and drizzly in Rochdale?) and we have a second big game at home in less than a week.
Another performance like Tuesday's will fit the bill perfectly, and while Blackpool confidence should be high with their early season results there is no reason to think that we could reasonably expect to take something from this game. |  | | |  |

Possibly the warmest it's going to be around ko for a Dale game for some time, 26C and rising forecast
Can't remember the last really warm fixture, above 25C? |  |

Shorts on and ready to go. Must be 10 years since I have visited Rochdale and been able to wear shorts to a game. | | | |

Nice to see Pyke back on the bench. Gives us the option of a bit more pace up to. |  | | |

Drinks break after 25 minutes for the heat. After a decent 10 minutes Blackpool have been very good and you can see why they are top. One brilliant instinctive save by Sanchez after he gave away a needless corner. They look very sharp moving forward and have also caused us to make mistakes with our passing game at the back. Sanchez looks very assured in goal.
Good battle so far |  | | |

Tough game this, Blackpool are excellent!
Bobby having a great game in net.
Really need something going forward, Pyke and Andrew wouldn't be bad subs to bring on. | |

Drinks break worked for us. Much better last 15 minutes of the half from us although not threatening the keeper with any shots on target. Blackpool nut had any shots other than the one that produced the save from Sanchez but they are getting the ball into the last third and our box more often. I would say they shaded that first half
I get a feeling that we may try to add some height up front with one of our substitutions to see if we can get on some knockdowns especially if we go behind | | | |

Pyke on for Ryan at HT. Great opening 10 minutes with both teams having decent chances. Brilliant run by a Blackpool forward who dribbled through & put some Dale defenders on their backs. Sanchez made a great save. Pike had a good chance a few seconds before that & Camps has put a great shot just over
Good stuff | | | |

Pyke and Andrew now both on for Ryan and Rathbone , the latter who has been a bit quiet by his standards

Blackpool have been on top since we made our subs ( perhaps too many too quickly?). Our defence have been really good today against a very tricky forward line. 10 minutes to go | | | |

Finished 0-0 against a very good side but what a bit of luck in the 4th minute of Injury time. Blackpool player puts in a cross that is partly deflected into the air. Looks like O'Connell just has to head it clear but he doesn't and sells a dummy to Sanchez who misses it. The ball bounces across the goal and hits the inside of the far post and we clear it.
Sanches named MOM and rightly so but special mention to Big Jim who was immense today as were most of the back 4
Blackpool have a lot of quality in their team so not to disappointed with the point or performance. Still lacking a bit of fire power but in fairness August and September look to have given us a lot of fixtures against the better teams | | | |

Could be a point we look back on and think it was a decent point.
Looked a different team to the one on Tuesday. We were awful in the final third, they could have played without a keeper. Done and Andrew in their brief cameos this season have both offered absolutely nothing.
Sanchez (deservedly so) getting MoM tells you all you need to know about the game. O’Connell also played well, looks a very good signing. | | | |

Really, really good point against an excellent Blackpool side!
Defensively magnificent, and after a shaky 20 minutes RND had Feeney in his pocket.
Bobby superb in net, well deserved MOTM.
Really happy with that point! | |

Gotta agree with that.
Blackpool were excellent and it was a damn good point against them, albeit a result that for the first time this season was better than what we deserved.
That was our worst performance of the season, and principally that was because Blackpool figured us out from the first minute. They know we like to play passing football starting from the back and they exploited that by pressing us constantly.
Bobby Sanchez excellent, the back four all good. | | | |

A very good draw. The selection with so many midfielders wasn’t right, as illustrated by Ryan’s substitution. But we defended well and saw the game out.
We need something different in forward positions. Keeping Wilbraham while we had Calvin reduced our options.
This next week is important, get a couple out on loan/permanently and bring in someone who adds a spark. |  |

A decent point earned surely. Hopefully won't be having to count them like jewels in May. I think we can now settle down with the BBM management. He's made some fantastic changes.
One thing though, I will never understand how Calvin A gets a game. What now, six years with the club? |  |

An excellent steady as you go start to the season. Just what the doctor ordered after the last 2 seasons.
Some interesting substitutions today. The odds of pyke, done and Andrew coming on at 0-0 would have been huge. So BBM can’t be accused of not going for it.
The pressing game of the opponents for next week’s game at Southend will be interesting. Have spoken with my nephew who went to Wycombe and he thinks Bond will still be in charge for next Saturday, judging by the reaction of the Southend fans at the end of a tough defeat. If they are playing for Bond and want him to stay they will be up for next week, and in our faces. Need to put this one behind them mind.
Still back to us, we competing and trying to entertain, while picking up points. That will do for me for | | | |

It is with Southend having lost five out of five... |  |
