Rochdale 0-0 FA Cup 1st round - thoughts

[John Neals Dynasty]

Went today first half the atmosphere was quieter than a library, Tollits early miss sums up why we don’t score goals, no composure whatsoever.

First half was like a park kickabout with neither side looking interested.

Second half a different story Grant missed a sitter early and it woke the crowd up.

Very good solid performance with 10 men second half as Wright was just wearing our shirt and ambling around...

4-5 gilt edged chances to score and composure needs working on in training.

Why no more subs were used with games piling up is baffling

So all in a good second half performance and the crowd on a nice day sums up fans have had enough of the regime in charge.

Thought it was an excellent crowd for the first round

Excellent online Radio Wales commentary from Bryn Tomos for second week running! Did we blow it once again in FA Cup Round 1 through lack of firepower? Why was only one sub used with two extra bodies available than in National League? Rochdale used all three!

Agree about Wright, he would be at the top of the list to go along with Bobb. I'm guessing the ones who featured today wont play until the replay so have plenty of time to rest.

From a Rochdale fan,

Boring boring Rochdale.
A good enthusiastic away following had the life drained away from them by a clueless, negative performance on the pitch. That was woeful. Were we playing for the draw? We certainly didn't want to score. Wrexham, poor as they were at least tried to get a goal.
Lovely weather, a good run down on the coach and pleasant company ftom the home fans in the centenary bar. The game sadly was ghastly. How to drive fans away in 90 minutes.

First half was handbags but second half I was impressed. A bit of lady luck and a focal point up front ( not knocking Grant by the way ) would have made all the difference.

That's my first view of Keatesball 2019 and I have to say, that's not a team that's getting relegated.

Completely agree. I came away from that game totally disappointed that we didn't win, yet we were playing a League 1 side. We should've thrashed them.

I bloody hope they move the replay to the Wednesday. Missing Ibrox and Spotland in one week would be very disappointing.

Definite signs of improvement in the last 2 games both defensively and offensive wise. Very unfortunate not to score at least 1 goal.
Not Grants best fan but thought he worked his arse off today and there was no sign of any choppsing-let his work rate do the talking.

If we were playing a lower club of one in our division I would agree but we played a team 2 divisions higher.
