Because the Ref isnt going to be fooled into thinking that Chuks Aneke can be pulled back!!Chunes said:How can it not be a free kick?

2-0: good, 442: good, referee: good, LB’s line up: good, my stress level: very good. Oh and Millwall losing4

Fantastic performance. Time for a brew!

Great first half, very good value for our 2 goal lead and could even be a little disappointed that it’s not more.
Lets smash them in the second half.0 -
Chuks surrounded by 4 players and could possibly have had a freekick, but ref not impressed and it's half time.

Fantastic.
Our best first 45 minutes since Nottingham at home last year. Just got to keep this up now.0 -
Nice to have 2 big uns up front 😉4

What a difference three days make. Let’s hope this sets the scene for the second half and the rest of the season. Impressive stuff ...1

Thanks Lee Bowyer, Bet365 paid out already. Happy days. Easy money.Athletico Charlton said:Maatsen dropped - good. Last clean sheet we had he didn't play in, has been poor for weeks. Happy to see Purrington back in.
Pearce not great but best we have.
Bit disappointed not to see DJ start but otherwise it's a decent team.
3 points no problem so heading off to Bet 365.1 -
Can't remember the last time we played well in the first half - good to see at long last. We have so much threat up front with two players who can win the ball. Millar simply has to start, he's quality. Deji showing again why he should have come in earlier to cover those injuries.
Hoping we continue to push for more goals after the break and don't go defensive as that never seems to work for us.

Incredible the difference when we are urgent, pressing and offensive. Great first half.

We should have had a penalty and several free kicks that we haven't but it's no Biggie.
Well done so far Lee and the boys.1 -
Completely agree.golfaddick said:Useless ***king manager.
Bring in players & then don't start them. Smith must be scratching his head & wondering wat he has done joining us Started virtually every game for Swindon & now gone 2 games starting on the bench.Might as well just loan them back to Swindon - they rated the 2 players & must be gutted to see is having them & not playing them. Why....just why ??
Really glad I didn't part with my tenner to watch it on VP. Only wanted to see DJ play....
Not sure why the game is late kicking off but my stream has just got underway and I really can't see us getting anything out of this half.
Run up the white flag - Bowyer Out!9 -
Just brilliant, it could easily be 4 or 5. the whole lot of them have played well1
-
Could be 6 (six) up.
Need to sustain this.0 -

Stats seem to say so too.AFKABartram said:Our best 1st half of the season2 -
How on earth are we not winning 5-0 .....?
Hit the woodwork 3 times, a couple of cracking saves by their keeper, 2 shouts for a penalty.
Rochdale living dangerously, with the ref bein very lenient at times.
This is better!

Stockley for Bogle, Millar for Smyth/Williams/Maddison and Aneke not being the main target man all making a difference. All the small improvements add up.Leuth said:This game is reinforcing my and many others' criticisms of Bowyer and the team this season. We can play like this. Why haven't we been?
Nevertheless, keep it up...
Need to kill the game off with a third goal, a loss of concentration or wonder goal from Rochdale could put them back in it.3 -
Excellent team performance first half. Not letting them attack us is working! Midfield getting stuck in but not giving away silly fouls. Forwards controlling the ball and laying it off sensibly. Defence covering each other and passing the ball sensibly. It's easy when you do it well!
Shame we didn't get a third - defo penalty, and hit the woodwork three times too!
Keep it solid first 20 mins of second half, and then Ronnie can have a run, and the midfielders can have a rest too.0 -
Working well so far, it's the old curbs era 442 with a midfielder one side and a winger on the other, 2 up top that are both quite physical but not rapid, and it seems to be working. Bring on DJ for half an hour later to give him some minutes and maybe Schwartz on for a morale boosting goal, and jobs a goodun1

That's easy for you to say!stonemuse said:3 -
Totally in control. Rochdale are dog shit but we’re actually taking advantage for a change. 2 up and hit the woodwork multiple times, looked like a clear penalty denied on Millar and a possible one on JFC too, although that would have been softer.
An early third in the second half would be nice and then introduce DJ and Schwartz with Ronnie to hopefully bag a confidence building goal.2 -
Sod all these fancy diamonds etc...good old 4-4-2 with 2 battering rams up front. Steady eddies at RB and LB letting wing halves do their stuff7
-
All seems good and improved so far, but I've been hurt too many times to get too excited whilst at 2-0
Aneke and Stockley an intriguing big man big man partnership though0 -
But despite what Mount Chuks looks like he's got great touch, control, and passing ability.Horsfield9 said:Nice to have 2 big uns up front 😉
He is the cheat mode on FIFA - four or five players rolled into one.

The midfield looks well balanced. The right mix of grit and ability. Pratley playing really well, keeps winning it.
It's not been perfect, the last 25 mins we were a bit sloppy in feeding the forwards. And I'm noticing Stockley is pretty poor with his feet. But overall it's been the best 45 in absolutely ages!
But I can't help but like we are still working off this curse. How do some of these chances stay out? Should 4 up at least.1
