Five things we learned from Bolton Wanderers v Rochdale

Keith Hill has Rochdale well set-up

Despite being on the wrong end of the result on Tuesday night, Rochdale were unfortunate to head back to Spotland empty handed.

Having survived mounting pressure from the hosts, Dale emerged looking like a completely different side after the interval.

In a contrast to the first-half; in which they sat deep looking to frustrate their opponents, Keith Hill’s men ramped up the pressure, with Oliver Rathbone skimming an effort just past the upright, while Ian Henderson also went close.

Manager Hill has his men well drilled in their responsibilities. They should have left Bolton with a point, and will feel aggrieved about the way Beevers’ winner occurred.
