View from the Stands - Rochdale vs M K Dons

We gather the views of Rochdale and Milton Keynes Dons fans following Dale's dramatic win in the game between the two sides. The Dons had controlled the game throughout and led by two goals to one going into injury time but they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory by conceding twice; Chris Dagnall giving the home side an unbelievable first league win of the season.

"The performance was leggy and for much of the game we just didn't seem to be 'at it'. I thought Doolan had a good game in the middle, but Dagnall rightly won man-of-the-match for another outstanding performance; he was a constant menace against a good back four."

"The turning point for us was Cameron going off, freeing up Perkins and allowing us a sniff in midfield. The work and pace of Le Fondre and Dagnall in the final ten minutes certainly paid dividends. Personally I thought that Branston was our man-of-the-match by a good distance. He was the only player with any sense of heart and desire."

"We didn't deserve a point and got all three! Fantastic. We've got a week off too [Rochdale's home game against Wrexham scheduled for Saturday 8 September has been postponed due to Wrexham having players called up for internationals] , hopefully one of our two injured centre halves [Nathan Stanton and Nathan D'Laryea] will be back. This might turn out to be a game that we remember extremely fondly come May, if we remember how to play football in the meantime!"

"We played a real blinder but still lost!"

"The result and the manner in which it happened was a big blow for us. The positives were Gallen getting two goals for us - that should be the catalyst to get him banging in the goals regularly. I say bring on Notts County - results like this should spur you on to do better not make you give up."

"We had two cleared off the line with about two minutes to go. We were 2-1 up and looking great then Rochdale catch us on the break twice with around 50 seconds left - you couldn't make it up!"
