Looking at the 12 teams we've played so far, they fall into four groups of three for me: Orient (best footballing side), Northampton (competent with lethal striker) and Stevenage (cynically well-organised cloggers) are up the top end for a reason. Swindon (adjusting after losing a lot of...

Can I replace Ian Henderson with Callum Camps (Stockport) please?

Grimsby not won at home; Carlisle not won away. 1-1, Messrs Waterfall and Huntington with headers from set piece crosses

Since Ash Eastham of Salford doesn't appear to have played this year, can he be replaced by Neill Byrne of Tranmere, please?

Triplicate deleted, and snotty e-mail sent to a certain ISP.

Duplicate deleted.

You may have a point. At least two of Carlisle's goals last Saturday were caused by a combination of Rochdale's inability to defend set pieces (hopefully to be corrected pronto by Jim Bentley) and Paul Huntington being rather useful at creating mayhem from said set pieces when not properly...

Scott Quigley confirmed on loan for the season. Sensible signing. Gives us an out and out target man, which will take some of the pressure off Devante Rodney, who's done reasonably well this season and is himself both big and fast, but possibly better playing off a bigger lad. Plus we've...

I'd keep much the same team as Tuesday. Bring Kelly or Sinclair in for Tulloch and hopefully whichever CB is fit to replace "No Longer The Biggest Jim" at the back. Henderson and Diagouraga on the bench, to bring experience on to (hopefully) hold on to a lead.

381 Dale at Accy

Sorry folks. I watched Accy and Dale play out an entertaining 3-3 draw on I-player. Decent but goalless first half, Accy got two quickly after half time, Dale had a purple patch for 15 minutes after the hour mark and went 3-2 up, then Tyrese Sinclair followed in his dad's footsteps by getting...

We're bottom of the league, so staying up is the first priority. Jim B managed to keep Morecambe up on limited resources for a number of years. He also doesn't appear to be an advocate of tippy tappy, which has been overdone by us for a few years. Most folk are willing to give him a chance...

Jim Bentley confirmed at Dale.

Got the odd one for us as well. Including the only time he used his right foot.. https://fb.watch/f5Pe7B1as2/

Player/coach Jim McNulty takes temporary charge for Dale at Swindon. Dunno what team he'll pick, but I'd go for: Slicker *** Seriki, Nelson, Ebanks-Landell, John *** Diagouraga *** Kelly, Brierley *** Rodney, Henderson, Odoh Subs: O'Donnell, Graham, Taylor, Ball, Sinclair, Tulloch, Charman

This. Very honest and likeable bloke.

Almost certainly not going anyway, but purely from an ambling round pubs perspective the choice of an away match at a big club in Yorkshire for me would be Middlesbrough, which has some crackers...

We've played friendlies in the past against Everton and WBA, but never a competitive game. As we've got Rayhim Tulloch on loan from the Baggies, it would be rude of us to beat them, so a trip to Goodison Park will do.

Beat Burton 2-0 with two late goals) (Ball pen, Rodney.) Didn’t go, but sounds like we were the better team throughout and deserved the win. Whether this was because we showed increased competence, or because Burton are dreadful is another matter...

Couple of changes for Dale at Priestfield. White for Odoh at LWB; Brierley for Kelly in MF. O'Connell Graham, Ebanks-Landell, John Seriki, Diagouraga, White Brierley, Ball Henderson, Rodney Subs: Slicker, Mc
