Belshaw 7.5 mainly excellent, a bit slow for Dales first but that maybe a bit over critical
as he's set such a high standard.
Hoole 7.5 I really like this boy, he has a great future.
Taylor 7.5 a dominant 45 minutes
Anderton 7.5 another strong display.
Anderson 8 another high energy game capped with an important goal.
Coutts 7 decent, he organises and dictates the play well,a lot of his play goes unnoticed.
Whelan 7 similar to Coutts,superbly fit far his age.
Clarke 7.5 adds balance,unlucky not to score.
Evans 8.5 a great goal, full of skilful running,
Nicholson 7.5 worked hard, always a handful on the ball and a pest off the ball.
Collins 9 M.o.M. an almost faultless display, he's fast skllful with a blistering shot with either foot.
Subs: Martinez 7 slotted in well but gave away a needless penalty, he'll learn by it.
Thomas 7 although not on long he deserves a decent score for setting up 4th goal.
Spence, N.o.l.e
Ref 7 good,a nice change after Tuesdays clown.
Rochdale 6.5 good opponents , they contributed to making it a good game.
