Good point LLS. Another bright point it we are still only 4 points of the play-offs with 2 games in hand.

it wasn't just you Kiwi. It all started just as I got home from the playcentre with Em!!!

Chimer · 20-03-2010, 16:00

From 2 up that hurts ... still Symesy gets the rest people have been saying he needs

Welcome to the jinx club KJ

Edit - sorry LLS great minds think alike, some quicker than others !

Bouncing back from a result such as this will be VERY hard. Next game will be a real test of STANLEYs 'metal'.

LongLostSon · 20-03-2010, 16:06

aye, an' that'll teach me to stop chewing my nails an' start smiling mid-game. Coley would be bawling me out for armchair complacency.

I did not expect anything from this game , but the manner of losing it was difficult to take. The Reds scored two good goals, and then went into self distruct mode. We matched them for three Quarters of the game which was encouraging. but the Ultras even stopped singing after that,such was the disapointment. I think we have scored enough own goals this season thankyou.

That was one hell of a surreal experience this afternoon at the Crown Ground

How did we lose?

I am struggling to get my head around what actually went on after they got one back, we were the better side for 3/4 of the game but still managed to get tonked

There was a quote from Coley a few years ago, "for God's sake don't give us your dog to look after; we can't hold on to a lead to save our lives". And nothing's changed!

Gutted with the loss, but to be honest I didn't think we'd get anything from Rotherham & Rochdale back-to-back so to have three points is great.

Ultras were superb before, during and after the game. The Clayton End looked brilliant.

the main bright point fer me is coley seems to have got the hang of substitutions, thought ya could see why Rochdale are top team, most sides go 2 down away heads drop, stanley were not disgraced so whilst disappointed am not gutted, think its a bit much blaming boozer fer trying to clear up field in dying mins was still chance of equaliser was just unlucky get real.

Well a fantastic game for the neutral......... agreed massively disappointing after being 2-0 up.

I wasnt expecting anything from the game either to be honest but to press the self destruct button yet again was disappointing.

My humble opinion Rochdale's substitutes changed the game simple as that.
Higginbotham was absolutely outstanding for them when he came on, as for his goal simply world class.

The lad that got sent off with Symes was an absolute animal and should have been dismissed far before that after doing the same with Billy Kee.

His sending off could be a blessing in disguise.

My team opinions...........

Bouzanis- Not his best game by a long way, Bavs will be in on Tuesday.
Lees- Could not handle their forwards in the 2nd half
Winnard- See Lees
Edwards- Mr consistent had another decent game.
Kempson- Had his work cut out today but looked knackered in the 2nd half.
Miles- Superb finish for the goal, other than that not alot.
Ryan- Ran his socks off again, should have had more shots on goal really.
Joyce- Another solid display.
Proccy- Will run forever more, but was outmuscled today.
Symes- Another goal, not his fault he was sent off either.
Kee- Abit quiet for me today in comparison to last week.

Subs.

Turner- Hardly Touched The Ball
Grant- See Turner
Mcconville- Too late to make an impression

Roll on Burton Albion

I was going to say exactly the same mate, I CANNOT believe what happened in the last 20 minutes. My god talk about throwing it away. The last dale goal fair enough but how the hell did they manage to come back from 2 - 0 down !

Im not calling coley as he is an excellent manager but i would of took Billy off when we was 2-0 up and chucked on another defender and had 5 at the back just for the cover.

Symes going obviously effected us. On the plus side we hammered the league leaders for 2/3 of the match. shame we couldnt of held on to our lead we really could of done with them 3 points plus now i have to take sH$t from a dale fan at work on monday !

Stanleymad · 20-03-2010, 18:30

Absolutely gutted, honestly thought we could either scrape a draw at the worst. We really need to sort the teams heads out when we go down, we just lose it and even 12th man struggled to lift em up, drained me out they did, trying to spur em on. Couldnt blame symesy i'd of wanted to deck no 33 too. Tho it was a great football atmosphere.
