Dale 1 Norwich 1 (Norwich win 4-3 on pens)

Mike Brookes

BRAVE Rochdale suffered penalty shoot out misery after 120 minutes of pulsating action at Spotland.

Keith Hill's men were the better side throughout, but they paid the price for passing up two glorious chances in the final minutes of extra time when both Ben Muirhead and Chris Dagnall missed from close range.

Dale started brightly and deservedly led their Championship visitors after 11 minutes through Glenn Murray's fine effort.

Norwich started the second half much better and levelled when veteran Dion Dublin hooked home a free kick delivered from wide by Simon Lappin.

In extra time Murray was denied by Canaries keeper David Marshall, who then brilliantly tipped away a Tom Kennedy rocket before the late chances that took the game to penalties.

Dale’s Rory Prendergast and Gary Jones both saw their efforts kept out to give Norwich a win that they scarcely deserved.

   Up to posting this message I see that on your poll "How will rochdale do this season" that 27% think relegation fighters. What drugs are these people on? They should actually go and watch some games at spotland . Its a pity that you cant restrict your poll to people who actually know something about it .
