That was the best, most inventive I've seen us move the ball around in years!

Confidence on the ball, crisp passing, inventive movement. Loved it.

Fans were as flat as a fart in the first half. The team deserved better.

The fans were poor, the only reason I can think of is the freezing conditions. However, our gates are poor 2 points off the playoffs and only 11k home fans? Awful considering that we are a club with history.

We are a club without any real success, top flight football, for 56 years.Pretty good considering.
 
I assume you're talking Second half as first half we really pedestrian and abject (as too were the blades)

My sentiments exactly. Watching some of the movement and passing in the second half between Pearson, DJ, Robinson, Gally, and the rest, was superb. They controlled the game and dictated everything that was happening. What really struck me was that at times you thought they'd just continue moving forward, but they were happy to bring it back, play with it and find more space before continuing play forward. It meant we had more men forward and looked a true attacking threat. In my opinion we're maturing as an attacking team. The first part of the season we were hectic going forward, and it came off but we derailed slightly. Today, we looked good, composed, confident, and enjoyed playing. We're improving each game. Well done boys, and bring on forest.

As Neil commented, the first half performance was pretty flat. Thankfully, a greater urgency was shown in the second half, which was much better. Two home games in a week, £24 a ticket, Christmas fast approaching, I didn't think it was a bad attendance in the circumstances.

I understand the attendance, it's the lack of atmosphere which surprised me. Like watching bowls.
 
Dire first half was it any wonder the fans were so quiet . Great result but I have seen us play much better this season.
 
First half was awful, hence the fans response IMHO

2nd half was football at its best, really enjoyed it. whatever AN slips in their drinks at half time seems to work wonders.

I've wondered for a few seasons why it takes a half time coaching session to get us playing. Reality is that we are a young team, learning it's trade and so game management isn't ingrained yet. The fact that we do usually respond in second half though shows they are a very talented young team.

We always have a poor home support. Nothing new, it is what it is.

Second half agree, but if I go back 15 years , that would have been a deep dale abusing there own players , would rather it be quite than abusive and negative towards our own players , it's a good culture shift . Great three points .....

I bet Burnley's home support wasn't much better in their first promotion season into the Premiership.

Got nothing to do with the weather. Our home support is shit.

It probably has a lot to do with affordability though. People have families and it’s close to Christmas and parties etc. Expensive time and priorities. I don’t know if you know but the North West has been hit hardest with this poverty lark.

On topic I’m more than chuffed with how we played second half. Every player should take a bow they were superb at times.

Add to this that we have another home game next Saturday and it really is stretching a lot of people at this time of year.

Damn right about the 2nd half as well. We were as good, 2nd half, as we were poor in the 1st.
