I think the issue was with selection at Dale and then not making the right changes. Bringing so many "recovering players" in Wright, Raynes, Potter & Williams at same time was a mistake. Our wingers struggled to get involved leaving our m/f exposed. And defence was struggling to cope with 2 returning players. There were other options. I can understand Mickey wanting his best players out, but too many were not match sharp. At half time, some decisive moves should have been made to change to 4-3-3. Wingers off, Ruffels on and a 3rd striker on. Overall today we showed a distinct lack of tactical nous for a very important game. It was very disappointing. Overall
