Tollit was poor in my opinion. One decent run and shot which hit the bar but how on earth did he miss the earlier chance and miss by so much?

Agree ,Rochdale were poor no wonder they are struggling in Div 1.

Played well today, couldn’t put the ball in the net. Five guilt edged chances there.

Thought Rochdale were poor. They’re pretty on the ball when knocking it around in places that don’t threaten us. Least physical side I’ve seen in a while too.

Best performance in a while. Deja vu-Newport!
Two stonewall penalties!
Clearance off line.
Woodwork twice.
At least 3 gilt edged chances missed.
Certainly brings a little optimism going forward.

Best performance of the season. Some great pressing (except Tollitt which I guess is why he was taken off), restricted Rochdale to very little. We also unusually created a load of chances . It was also a performance which lasted the full ninety and not just for a 20 minute spell.

A full week of training looks to have done the team some good. Looked a lot more organized all over the pitch with communication between each other a lot better. But same old story in unable to score. Carrington was excellent, but Tolllit and Akil dreadful. Thought Keates should have brought some fresh legs on but decided not too for some reason.

Good effort and hit the posts twice

Shame we couldn’t get over the finish line today

Our lacklustre attack and toothless finishing are the blame of Brian Hughes and will continue to let us down unfortunately for us

Who though?

Drop off in the squad is massive

Thought we played really well. Felt similar to the home game against Newport last year where we huffed and puffed but just wouldn't go in. Really should have won that comfortably. Most likely outcome away is we'll get dry fisted.
