Morsy had a poor game yesterday and Rochdale stitched us up good and proper by closing us down double quick and doing it consistently well. McDermot was the best player on the park by miles and I wouldn't mind seeing him turn out for us again in the future. Rochdale will do well to hold on to him.
The conditions weren't ideal for football. It was bad enough sat in the stands. I was a bit surprised by Rochdale. I know Keith Hill gets them playing the game but yesterday they were dirty and I was surprised that there were not more cards in the game. Every time Novak had the ball he got clattered. Angel looked useful and has an eye for a good pass. Given a bit more time together the side will gel better but we really do have to stop peeing about with the ball at the back. After 5 mins Lee should have been told to get the ball upfield and stop pratting around with risky short passes to Hird and Evatt. It was just asking for trouble and we were very lucky to get away with it.
