Very good solid performance all over the pitch. We pressed them most of the game and really didn't give them much time on the ball. Really pleased about today. Onto the next one.

Probably our most comfortable win of the season. Should have scored more mind.1

Sorry but that is a load of tosh. Including positional changes he has made 11 changes, 11!!, with the starting team over the last 2 games. And 2 different formations. None injury related, no suspensions.esseffect said:

Blah blah blah.
Great performance. Clean sheet. Never looked in any danger. Three points. Nothing more to say.
Good display today, lets get a run going. No more tinkering.He’s only really had to tinker because of injuries and fitness. I expect him to keep doing it
One of his "good ideas" was recalling a player who was key to keeping a clean sheet 2 games ago then got tinkered out.
Getting it right today, as he did, doesn't mean he got it right previously. Would you be happy if he makes 4 or 5 changes for next Saturday?
Based on the very impressive 1st half and very professional second, this needs to be the team for the next 2 or 3 games then its up to the individuals to make there case that they deserve to take the shirt from the incumbent. If anything happens to Stockley we could be in bother, again.
That includes young DJ. Midfield balance was perfect for me today. Playing 2 strikers AND 2 wingers is a massive risk.
If that's the start of the run we need brilliant and fingers crossed.
How good was it to be two up, like for like subs and look more like scoring the third than being peged back. Onwards and up wards.13 -
So much more like it.
Need to avoid too many changes next week!0 -

Stop leaving him on the bench then 😂stonemuse said:2 -
Lots of positives, but I think Purrington is back to his best again. Really impressive5

More of that, less of the other please, Lee.0

Yup a much improved performance and hopefully the start of a great run. I thought Deji was great and tbh deserves to keep his place4

Wot ?blackpool72 said:A much improved performance.
3 points and a clean sheet so nothing to moan about there.
I'm still pretty certain we won't make the playoffs but this transfer window has certainly improved us.
Win our next couple of games and an old miserable git like me might start believing4 -

Much better. Never want to see that midfield diamond or Gunter at CB ever again.3

Stockley would certainly be one of the first names on the team sheet for me. Imagine having to defend against him, he is an absolute nightmare.Cafc43v3r said:

With how hard Millar works off the ball as well, I'd be happy enough to see both him and Jayesimi start - especially against the 'weaker' opposition.
I'd have Shinnie and one other in the middle. I though Pratley had a very decent game today, but all of Morgan, Shinnie and JFC have shown they can press and force a team on the back foot as well so there's options there.
Bit miffed as to where Matt Smith fits into this.
Also find it slightly sad, and it's always been the way, that post match threads when we lose are far more active then when we win.
I've criticised enough, and will do in the future I am sure. But also love that feeling when Charlton win and in these times would like to feel more fans felt that way as well.15 -
47.5% and 52.5% rounded up gives 48% and 53%. Elementary maths, my dear Watson.Macronate said:Not only did we win but we also made history in the 84th minute by being one of the teams involved in a game where total possession exceeded 100%:

Solid win from the boys .. to a man excellent !! Happy to get my first for @CAFCofficial and keep a clean sheet !! We moveReally enjoyed that today. Great team performance. Not getting carried away, massive game next week. Well done @d_oshilaja and @caneke10 on the goals!8

You bother our owner with your recommendations on whom Bow should play at left back? Nah...I’ve been whooshed, right?SouthWest_Addicks said:Really impressive performance. Managed the game comfortably from start to finish.Zero complaints about anything today. Need to follow this up with a win against Gillingham and start to sort the home form out to go alongside these strong away showing.
if Bowyer drops Purrington next week I will be straight into Sandgaard DM’s on Twitter. Back to back clean sheets for Purrington.Excellent all round. Stonewall penalty on Miller first half. ref 2 yards away with his arms still out after he had played advantage earlier. I’d love to DM somebody about that.2 -

Solid win, could have been more. Forced Rochdale into long ball football, which Deji and Pearce dealt with well. Purrington solid, as usual, and good to have him back.
Aneke and Stockley are the partnership we need to build on. Jaiyesemi looked lively, and a good addition.1 -
Unlike Golfie, no humble pie from me. Here are my pre match comments:
Quite interesting with Aneke and Stockley starting. I think this is definitely worth a try. We may be seeing balls played into the final third more quickly for those two to battle for and win. I can't complain as that is not a million miles away from what I have been saying we ought to do. Millar is a good option to play off of any confusion they cause.
What we have to acknowledge is that it is a genuine departure playing two physical strikers up top. If you count Bogle as one of those, which I do, it has amazed me that we have seen just a few minutes of this. I have seen League One defences struggle against Aneke and Stockley so surely both of them will pose double the problems.

I agree with most of this, apart from the bit about playing 2 wingers and it being a big risk. As it stands we probably need to take a risk to win games if we want to get a play off place because once everyonehas played the same number of games we aren't going to still be on 6th place. And its not really a risk because if we lose we aren't going to get relegated. All I see is a win/win situation.Cafc43v3r said:

Just hope there is not something in the Chelsea loan making us play Maatson. We are way tighter at the back with Purrington. Maatsen will be a decent player in time but he needs a rest.
Pearce did well, hope Famewo or Innis back for the tougher games to come though. Oshi was excellent.
So impressed with the cameo from DJ when he came off the bench, going to be a big player for us if he can repeat that level frequently.
Stockley and Aneke up front will not be a pairing many defences will relish at this level, esp when they know they will be beaten up by them and we have the luxury of Schwartz and Washington to come off the bench.
Millar excellent again.
Happy tonight and easy winnings from the betting shop once the team line up was announced.
Interested to hear the thoughts of the many who piled in on Bows at 2pm when the team was announced.2 -

I think it can be a risk playing an extra winger as you need the midfield to win the battles, which they did. Having an extra winger is a good option from the bench.
We cut down the number of needless passes we made and tried to get the ball forward more quickly than we usually do. That is because it can stick when you have Aneke and Stockley up there. I liked that when there wasn't a positive pass on we lumped it forwards. This is safer and we made less passes under pressure.4 -
Like many others have said much better. Did the basics and that was the foundation. Could of easily won by 5.Looked much more balanced and the hard work started with the front two who I thought did brilliantly.Shinnie and JFC bossed the midfield and seemed to be onto every lose ball never letting Rochdale settle.A couple of years back purrington come into the team in January time and was the missing piece of the jigsaw making the team a lot more balanced with steady 7s each week and think we see that again today, let’s hope for the same as 19.With a full weeks rest I really hope bowyer don’t rest anyone and that the same team starts.Others playing Saturday, Tuesdays to catch up next couple of weeks will see dropped points and injuries. Let’s go on a run now and start to put pressure on.5

In Bowyer we trust.0

I thought the subs were positive too. Those saying I told you so, this is not typical of Bowyer this season. As I think Sandgaard is giving him this season, and I want us to get promoted and believe we are good enough, I really hope this continues.
We need to see this approach continue.5
