Poor first half. The atmosphere was quiet and there was a building tension that seemd to reach the players. I guess that's what raised expectation can do. Couldn't keep posession going forwards, and didn't press when we lost posession, so Doncacster made alot of the play. That said, I think the defence all played well (the odd falling over aside) and the only real threat was from the Rovers freekcick - and that brought a fantastic save by Kenny, an an incredible clearance off the line by Hill from the follow-up.

The performance, and the atmosphere, improved second half even before the goal. Ephraim and Mackie were both working hard to put rovers more under pressure, and giong forwards we started to show a bit more threat.

The goals, when they came, were all fairly soft defensively but I wasn't compliaining. Didn't think it was a penalty, and neither did Helguson, who picked himself up and stuck it in the net. Lucky we scored the pen.

All in all we were good for the points in the end, but 3-0 was a bit harsh on Rovers. Not that I'm too bothered - we're top of the league!!!!!! :)

Good gutsy performance that showed the team spirit is back and that we have a few options off the bench to match

I'm in two minds about who to blame...
The game was crying out for us to switch to 451 after we 'luckily' went ahead 4-1. We palyed some good stuff in that 20 minute spell, but before and after in the first half we were getting overrun with their runners from midfield feeding off Parkin's holdup play.
The change in formation never came. If Amdy Faye isn't going to play in this game, when is he going to play?
On the other hand in Grayson's defence, in his post match interview he highlighted all of these concerns, and said he gave the lads a rollicking at HT for not trying to close the game down. So the players must take their share for not doing that.
The formation was possibly less to blame in the second half, with Hume joining Parkin in tormenting our backline once we had to push forward, with their midfielders now embarrassingly not needed as much!
All in all, just a terrible performance all round. Possibly only Somma enhanced his reputation, good movement and an excellent strike for his second.
Changes afoot I'm sure for Sat, which is now a huge game. I would have been happy to write it off had we won tonight, but a point and solid reaction (as we got at Doncaster) is now needed, otherwise it'll be a difficult two week break...

This was a very competitive match according to some of the 4,200 Huddersfield Town fans what attended at Spotland stadium that night. But in every Rochdale Fans eye's this would be "A Night to Remember" with a amazing clean sheet for the Rochdale Keeper Josh Lillis and there were Three Goals scored By Jason Kennedy, John-Louis Akpa Akpro who signed from The Blue Square Conference side Grimsby Town during the summer.Including The Rochdale Fans Highly Rated Star Super Chris O'Grady who signed from Oldham Athletic in the summer Transfer window, who scored the winning Goal against Northampton at Spotland stadium to give the club its League One status in the N-power Football League which where Formly known as The CocaCola Football League and he has been scoring Goals in League One since Rochdale's Promotion. This Match also saw Two Former Rochdale Players Return to Spotland Jordan Rhodes and Anthony Plikington, which saw the likes of Dean Smalley, Newly Loanee from Oldham Athletic make a impact during the Match and Chris Goodall showing footwork and movement during The Match but it wasnt such a good Match for Anthony Elding who made a impact in the Carling Cup scoring against Barnsley which saw Rochdale get a trip to Premiership outlet Birmingham City, where Rochdale where unlucky thanks to a penalty given by The refferee which clearly wasnt a penalty. Even though Huddersfield Town had majority prosession of the Ball on the Night they couldnt seem to score, this saw Rochdale Dominate, the last minutes of the Match.

The Next Trip for Rochdale will be tuff trip to Exeter city St James Park yeah not Newcastle United St James Park no matter how much Rochdale Fans would love a trip there But Exeter city, St James who got Promoted in 08/09 and have managed to hold on to there league One status ever since.

Rochdale AFC 3-0 Huddersfield Town FC
