Final score

Port Vale 2-4 Huddersfield Town

Have we a better starting 11 for Rochdale.
Should we just go with a re-run of tonight !

surely they deserve to start saturday. theyve scored 3 goals more than the team last saturday

I bet LC does not pick the same side on Saturday.Peter Clarke will be back in and Jordan Rhodes will be back from Scotland.

Jack Hunt should keep his place.

fu k peter clarke

So what was the McCombe/Cooper partnership like?

Couldn't be assed to listen to the radio

Come on Tez, get real. We played a below strength Port Vale team.

Anton Robinson is first name on sheet if he's fit.

Let's hope Jordan picks up a Jocko injury.

Can someone please explain to me: "how can an Englishman play for Scotland"?

I'd rather stick red hot pins in my eyes

he qualifies for Scotland because he went to school there when his dad played there.

although a good result the 2 goals conceded is a concern. apparently the defense was at 6s and 7s in the first half but were better in the second.

i think Novak has earned himself a start in the league. he was the catalyst on saturday that got things going a little bit and knocked 2 goals in today .

i think right now there is a break down in communication between the back 4 and the midfield. seems to be too many gaps opening up, close those gaps and i think this Div is ours for the taking , leave them open and we'll be disappointed again this year

Just got back from the game and what a much improved performance,we actually looked a decent team again.Special mentions for Gobern and Hunt who were excellent,if Hunt keeps us this form Woods will have to make do with the bench,to cap it it off he scored the goal of the evening.The much derided Novak bagged himself 2 goals tonight and had a decent game although didn't get close to collecting the match ball,surely he is prefered to Rhodes now for the lone front man role.Gobern was again busy and went about his business with little fuss tackling and passing well.Cooper made a decent debut after he had a shakey first 15 minutes,but settled well.McCombe had a great game too,in place of the undroppable Clarke.Miller had a decent game again went about his business with little fuss and worked hard.As a team we looked more cohesive and fluid,granted Port Vale are a league below but if we had had played like we did on satday the alarm bells would have been ringing.

The only negative points about tonights game was we still want to "over the egg the pudding" with too many pointless passes from one side of the pitch to another and knocking it about in midfield.Once or twice tonight we were caught in possesion and against better teams we could be punished.The lack of shooting is another negative or the lack of it,we seem reluctant to shoot when we get near the area,instead trying to walk it into the net.But overall a enjoyable game and job done into round 2,a good nights work.

was anyone else who followed the game strictly on the BBC text feed or through twitter updates constantly confused by there being a Gary Roberts and a J McCombe on each team

Yes, listened to radio which was more confusing as Doug kept saying it was 2-1 when it was 4-1, and at one point said Lillis was playing (he was sat next to him)...then BBC and Sky said Naysmith had scored when it was Roberts..I think...300 Town fans there tho', not bad for Tues night in Burslem..

296 Jacko to be precise,which I understand its a cup tie but thats pretty low for a Town away following,I've never been to a away game which is relatively close and there been such a low away following,cup or otherwise.Before I get slaughtered I understand about the current climate.

Port Vale isn't a very attractive game tho' is it, and a bit of a dump...Would think most fans already bought tickets for Rochdale where we'll have 3,000 fans hopefully, at £20 each that's £60,000 into the Rochdale coffers, hope they let us win...assuming GMP don't call it off due to riots in manchester..

arterrier get on the other thread will u please your input is needed.
