Talking to the Lancashire Evening Telgraph Accrington Stanley boss John Coleman felt his side paid for missed chances in Sundays home defeat against Dale.

Whilst he is of course more than entitled to say how he saw the game you do wonder at some of his comments and if, in the case of the wrtiter, you actually saw the same game as he did.

His comments were as follows:-

 "The game hinged on three misses really. Paul Mullin missed a great chance to make it 2-0, Rostyn Griffiths missed a great chance to make it 2-1 a minute into the second half and Terry Gornell missed a great chance to make it 2-2. Any one of those goes in and we've got a different story. "

"They missed a few chances themselves but only after we got stretched. I thought we looked quite comfortable up until the penalty. I don't think they were any way, shape or form two goals better than us.

"I don't even think they were better than us. "

"It's just that at the time when they had a bit of pressure they scored their goals."
