Must admit that result was pleasantly surprising as I'd fully expected to witness a very close contest. Our defence was fantastic today and the disappointment in conceding in the dying moments is a real testament to how all 18 performed. Easily our best performance of the season so far. 

It's really worth putting into context that we had to do it tough. Losing Morris, Else and Shaw during the first half meant we had to activate Jebbo as 18th man and Kirby/Moran/Silk/Dicko had to do some serious minutes in the pack against a big and formidable Rochdale outfit. 

Three wins on the spin and we now have more points in the Championship than we ever earned during our days in League One. Definitely a nice way to cap off the weekend!
