Malik Wilks mugging off their number 6 is an absolute joy to watch

H-T, 3-0. I’d settle for that after 90 mins.

Absolutely clinical first half performance from Rovers. Crawford some top quality balls into the box. Wilks has also been excellent, his strength on the ball in unbelievable. May also been very relaxed on the ball and linking up play excellently.

Faultless first half performance.

Great first half performance. Created loads of chances. Wilks has some serious skills. Everyone playing well. Seems like we are winning every challenge and every second ball. People might say Rochdale are a poor side but we have been exceptional and made them look poor. I hope the second half is the same

if we can get past the first 15 without conceding or extend our lead i'd like to see Amos get some game time and Boocock maybe too

I think we should go out for more goals, big up the goal difference.  Dale will come out second half with nowt to lose.

Superb well placed header by May, 40 seconds I made it.  Tight angle free kick perfectly placed by Crawford for the second, and a training ground free kick routine for Marquis’ goal.

Don’t forget we have two of the best attacking midfield players on our bench..

Early days but I'm liking the fact that for now we've dislodged Fatty Evans from the top 6.
Title: Re: Rovers v Rochdale
Post by: northern soul on January 01, 2019, 04:03:54 pm
It could easily have been more. A couple of Crawford free kicks into box and just missing people.

Rochdale have now conceded 50 goals this season, only Scunny are worse with 51 conceded. We should turn the screw and get as many goals possible for the GD. Well done to the lads for an excellent 1st half, same again in the 2nd.

All sounds very encouraging, hopefully we don't let up and go for a couple more goals in the second half to boost the goal difference.

Think this might be the best game I’ve seen Wilks play this season.

Possibly, les, but I’d still settle for 3-0 as a final score! Not being negative like, I just want the win!

Agree Wilts, more goals would be great for the GD.

Four Rochdale players booked  think they were all for fouls on Wilks

How did Copps score with a header? Do they have pint size defenders?

Coppinger is one of the best headers of the ball in the squad.

I agree, but when did he last score with his head ? ( Genuine question, I have no idea )

All over, 5-0!
Dale have now conceded 9 goals in their last 2 games.

 Great afternoon, the one thing that could improve it further would be a Walsall equaliser at Charlton.
Title: Re: Rovers v Rochdale

Dale defenders must have been AWOL when Copps headed his goal.

Copps 's header was a diving header from  great cross from Blair .

Don’t think we eased off in the second half? More that Dale upped their game.  However we looked dangerous going forward and added to the tally, and Copps’ goal was excellent..
