Good 3 points. Not a good performance though, particularly second half. As a few have posted, Rochdale were much better than their league position. Thought Rodney played well, particularly shutting down Gordon.
Hate the time wasting tactics which seem to start earlier each game.
Monthe must have put his boots on the wrong feet and changed his head for a dice today.
Good 8 days overall, points wise.
I do believe if we strengthen In January and manage to get some player back fit we can still give the play offs Ago
We need a ball playing defender none of our back 3 are good footballers
Wilko and earing will strengthen this team to no end , no idea if Riley or mcentee are good . Labadie can be loaned out. Fully fit Gordon and Maddox will be a big plus
Potential in this team to have a decent league 2 side who will be there or there about a
You mean the same ones every team that plays any level of football employ? Yeah me too
Yes, exactly. Hate time wasting.
Reading your two posts on the thread, seems like you are up for an argument 
Maybe next season the kit can be sensible brogues and choir boy tunics too.
By being positive about a win? Canāt win sometimes 
No Belph, an argument has two points of view 
Typical L2 win that was. Not pretty at all but somehow scraped over the line. How their No.8 missed that sitter Iāll never know! Good feeling though to pick up 3 points when not playing well.
ā¦and a clean sheet too! Bonus! Did anyone catch who got man of the match? I was too busy screaming at the ref to hear lol!
I wish there were extended highlights just so we can see how many decisions the red and linesman got two by
I donāt think the MOM was announcedā¦just the attendance.
Knowles was announced as man of the match. It was a difficult decision today.
League 2 refs - foul free kick to team In red
Not pretty, but a win is a win. If we can start and grind out a few away wins out in the same manner, who knowsā¦
I hardly ever moan about officials as the standard is really low but some of those decisions today were ridiculous. First half was ruined with all the stop start.
We are rolling the dice not having a backup keeper. Evans booked again today and looked injured at one point. Seems a matter of time before it bites us on the arse.
Back to back wins anyway, happy days. Up The Saddlers.
Anyone see what happened at the end of the game in the tunnel ?
Could explain why no Flynn interview?
I mentioned on the other thread that if that happened, we could get an emergency loan. The risk is having an outfield player in goal for the part of the game where he was absent.
Must be a budget thing.
Thought it was a gritty performance, the kind you need in a successful season.
We werenāt hugely impressive, we dominated but didnāt create any clear cut chances - Hutchinson particularly wasteful in the hole, never once did he attempt to play DJ in. Donāt mind an attacking midfielder having a go, but he needs to mix it up.
Gordon adds real quality and nous.
Still feel we are weak in central midfield - Kinsella is not going to get us up the league, Harrogate were awful, thatās why he looked good against them. He tries and tries but we need more than effort. Maddox had a poor game today, feel that he needs better players around him in order to shine.
Knowles is getting better and better, what a buy heās been.
All in all, welcome 3 points, we go in to the cup in good form and confidence, bring it on
Just saw a bunch of stewards leg it down there shortly after the players went in. Bet there was a big bost up continuing from the Rodney Evans first half nonsense. Can just picture Flynn and Hatswell tag-teaming Jim Bentley while the Trivela lot throw dollar bills at them all.
Entirely agree, silly decision to not have a back up on the bench.
Almost certainly a budget thing.
Hasnāt the emergency loan thing stung us before? Wasnāt Petterson an emergency loan? I may be wrong, or we signed him on a short term contract to cover when Walker was suspended.
I can understand the logic I guess. Also not easy to get a good keeper to come and sit on the bench for a season.
