I’ve voted yes, no doubt about it. However I don’t like the colloquial name ‘The Coalition’ sounds like a 90’s wrestling stable that would have had Eric Bischoff involved

In fairness I’ve been following Rovers long enough that the last place I’d be during a promotion match is a Burnley forum!

Nah Burnley will be up by bedtime tonight sadly

Sad to see that former Rochdale player Joe Thompson died at 36 after his cancer coming back a 3rd time, a cruel cruel disease

Carlisle equalised in injury time at Stanley, not sure if that stopped them being relegated today

Reminds me of the year we went down and last season when we almost did, you get a win and then see all the teams around you won. Luton and Plymouth with big wins but Derby and Hull getting wins keeping them in the drop zone

Not sure anyone is pretending that is the case (outside the corridors that is)

Because their lad was down for 2 minutes of it

Great win, weird game we didn’t have a single attack of note in the second half but at the same time never came under real pressure Toth looked calm I thought and stemmed the flow well a couple of times

Cheeky little forearm on Forshaw there

Nice to see the young lad get a few minutes

Both got booked - right decision, handbags

Have we got in their half at all this half?

From what I’ve seen after 20 minutes Dolan is having one of his very good games, even at his erratic strike rate he’s going to be difficult to replace with the money we will spend. Nice assist from Woodrow but he’s given it away every other time he’s had the ball. Nothing else of note has happened apart from a few corners.

The commentator on Sky just mentioned that with the goal we are pulling away from trouble - I was panicked at just 15 points above the drop zone

Not sure he can do much with that it’s a great finish

Get in Dolan, Woodrow with the assist and I was about to moan that he didn’t shoot!

I went to the tip - sounds like I didn’t miss much

I don’t see much argument to suggest he’d have been better staying here, maybe you could argue it if he hadn’t been loaned and just played in the reserves but there’s no downsides to his move with plenty of benefits

Hope Woodrow proves me very wrong but he’s looked finished from his appearances so far

One difficulty is going from 2 managers that were probably popular overall in the camp to someone who is known to be more authoritarian. He’s said he has firm rules and doesn’t seem to seek to be too friendly with the players. That will always upset the apple cart a bit and some players will have their nose put out.

A well timed bump to this thread - a no brainer to tie this lad down

It shows how people see an incident in two different ways. Admittedly I wasn’t at the game and only watched on TV but from the angle it showed Forshaw should have had it covered but his chronic lack of pace let their man in and a well positioned Toth made a good save. Not sure fully committing would have been the right decision so he got that one right. He looked like he got caught in two minds in the first half but I didn’t see that incident properly. The two saves he made in the first half you would expect any keeper to.

Toth looked more confident today I thought, minor moment but he decisively came for a ball heading around 13-14 yards out, took it well and rolled it out. Refreshing to see a moment of command in our box; 3 reasonable saves as well although 2 you would defo want your keeper to be making.

So even though in every possible way it’s Sonny’s goal will the first officially go down as Cantwell’s? It touched him on the way in which automatically usually gives them the goal but it was off his hand Could be Cantwell’s first in open play for us
