It was all looking worryingly ominous after about 20 minutes. 1-0 down, almost inevitably via a free header from Dackers (with whom we had been linked when he was on loan at Southend earlier this season), and with the team looking rather disjointed at that juncture.
Thankfully, we began to create a few openings and were somewhat gifted a penalty by means of an irresponsible challenge by their defender.
Much better performance in the second half and high-flying Woking were made to look rather ordinary and one-dimensional.
Marriott was superb in midfield, yet again.
Linney appears to be a very promising addition.
Alas, I'm not convinced at all by the lightweight Cashman. The game seems to just pass him by.
A huge sigh of relief after such an unexpected outcome. Plus dear old floundering Rochdale lost again, which always gladdens my bitter heart.
