[Leicester Shrimper]

Thought we worked hard that first half. Boys seem up for it.

 

[Shrimper]

We just need 1 goal

Anyone having trouble with streaming, DAZN **** again

All good here for me

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

Would like to see more creativity from Husin and Coker, but we are disciplined these days.
That shot still headed towards Byker is Heed's only effort TOWARDS goal.

 

[North Banker]

We've been really solid at the back. Possession has been pretty equal but when they've got the ball they don't look all that, and our boys have been on top of them. They've only held us at bay by defending in numbers and fouling us every time we go forward. A goal would be really really nice because anything can happen, but I don't think we're playing badly at all.

 

[stewart]

if we havent scored by the 60th minute i think Kev will bring on both Bonne and Walker

Not if Gateshead get 2

 

[Supershrimper]

Went for food. Tried to find thd back of hd queue and found the queue for he higher kiosk. Abysmal. Will hope the coach stops for a splash and dash somewhere so I can fill up on done food, even if its from W H Smiths

 

[Linda Loan Shark]

I wonder if Rochdale have put out a weaker team in a belief we win and they have an easier route to the final if they lose

 

[Hooly]

As others have said we started realy very well feeding Bridge who was running at the RB at will. But then we seemed to decide that's not Plan A & it's been very scrappy for the last 30 mins with Heed having loads of possession but not having done much.

We defintely need to up the pace. Every time we get a throw we are ambling over to take it even if the ballboy has a ball ready. Slowing the game I think is paying to Heeds advantage,

The ref is utter gash. Supposed to be a league ref but missing so many things

 

[Barling Magna]

Jeez, it's cold here! Need us to score to warm me up.

I doubt it. They may have rested players for the play offs but I doubt we even entered their thinking.

Yeah they did, said in bbc Essex radio that Rochdale had made 7 changes

 

[RHB]

45 minutes from a play-off place. We were the better team in the first half and I'm surprised that Gateshead didn't ask more questions of us. Defence is seriously on the money today. Bring on the second half and the Play-offs.

 

[Suffolk Shrimper In Dorset]

All set up for Nouble ... to score an own goal

 

[Ash Essex]

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

It's been nervy & tight but at 0-0 we can still do it.

Maybe the NL dont want us to win or draw they like to advertise ur following in the NL league after all

The pitch is making things very difficult. Where there is grass it's so long it's taking any pace off the ball.
