Looks like Rochdale are going to ask a lot more questions of our defence than Wigan and Bristol Rovers did. |  |

A lot more questions. Whether the answer is Nsiala remains to be seen. |  |

Hawkins doing far more than Norwood had managed in a long while. Looks the right decision to start him.

Rochdale been looking pretty good to me. Ok, we've dropped of a bit and defended fairly easily. But need to be careful with this lot. |  |

Weird half. We're not playing brilliantly but should really have scored with the chances we've created. They look a threat but haven't had much end product. A few players not quite at it today, I'd be tempted to bring Downes on to give us a bit more drive and quality in the middle. Nolan and Bishop not playing brilliantly, Nolan in particular. Lankester for Edwards would make us more of a threat too. |  |

P ok saying some nice football at times but I think sloppy out of defence ( Nsiala and Dozzell), and very one paced ( slow/steady). We need more pace , zip the ball about quicker and be far more clinical in the box . |  |

They are a better side at this level then we have played so far and a better team to see just where we are this season. I agree we have been better but Rochdale have played really well.
A goal early on in the second half either way will determine this game for me, if we score then they will have to come forward more and that will create space for us to nab another. If they score they will simply shut up shop and park the bus and I wouldn't fancy us breaking them down today as we've not been great at that as things stand.
Changes for me have to be up top, we need a goal! Hawkins has done well but hasn't been able to beat the keeper. Maybe this is the type of game Norwood could grab a goal or two in? |  |

Rochdale playing a decent game - not bothering to put pressure on Wilson or Nsiala due to highly indifferent passing ability but getting onto Dozzell (or whoever's deepest) quickly then sitting back in 2 banks of 4. Clearly trying to break us down the sides which has come close to working a couple of times.
We've played some alright stuff but only look threatening when Dozzell/Bishop/Nolan link up in their 3rd which we haven't been able to do often enough due to a combination of their defence and us not quite being brave enough to play a riskier pass. Hawkins unlucky not to score, header looked a brilliant save at first but replay showed he gave the 'keeper a good chance by directing it centrally.
Sears and Edwards not overly involved - wouldn't be surprised to see Lankester before too long. |  |

By sitting deep wide there isn't any space for Sears or Edwards to run into toad they've both been peripheral. Most of their good stuff has started with the wide players though so impressive how they've switched instead of just being defensive.
Decent game really. Need to up the intensity of our good stuff in the second half. |  |
