Am I the only one who heard the proper thick old guy nearly call the referee a pikey, which he changed at the last second to pie can (I'm actually from Oldham originally and have never heard piecan as a slur).
There were some shirt tugs that could have had yellows and THE Old Biffo was shouting for them, yet any challenge on Dale players was perfectly fair.
I know the lads on Dale player are pro Dale but they do seem to be relatively fair in commentary. The two biffo commentators struggled to say how good Bird's goal was. Yet the Oldham equalizer was described as brilliant |

Mitchell did win some headers but needs someone playing alongside him. He is by no means a target man or lone striker.
Bird is reminding me more and more of OGrady in his style. Mitchell reminds me of Paul Connor. Not great in the air but good at chasing onto knock downs |

That's funny but the games I've watched Bird in (mainly on DAZN or highlights) he reminds me of OGrady |

After Saturday's embarrassment Jim has changed his tactics. He's swapped his wingback over so the constantly cut in field before passing it around and losing it.
The tactic has just caused congestion and even more problems. As I said after Saturday, if you're paying with wingback have 2 in the center and 3 in midfield |

It was my first visit to Spotland in a while. I'm an exile and the drive up isn't too bad but the costs are not brilliant.
To sum up today's performance... shocking.
Over the season I have been able to watch Dale on DAZN or listen to the games. At one point this season I started to have hope. Dale appeared to mixing up their game plan. Passing slowly, rapid attacks and long ball when appropriate. However, the formation always stays the same and isn't working.
Mitchell is not an individual front man. He is great running onto balls over the top. He is not a player who holds the ball up well. He also struggles on his own, because any problems he causes are fruitless as the other farwards are too far away to profit from his work.
Rodney is not a wide man and is wasted playing out of position. He'd be better playing as two up front with Mitchell, profiting from any work done by the later.
The two forward wide players are wasted when playing wing backs as they all get in each other's way. Wing backs should have targets in the center to aim for not players being employed directly in their path.
The midfield two doesn't work. Fine if bypassing the midfield. But as we try to play through the midfield they are out numbered. Neither East or Gimour are ball winners. We need a ratter, a terrier. Neither East or Gilmour are able to be a box to box player. Therefore isolating Mitchell and the forwards even more.
Defensively we've not been too bad. But at what cost. The 5-2-3 formation doesn't work. If Jim wants to employ wingback the revert to 5-3-2. If we play with a lone front man and 2 wide men then get someone who can hold the ball up.
After today's performance, which was one of the worst I've seen from Dale, and I'm in my late 50s,something needs to be done.
Plan B and plan C need to be employed pretty quickly |

It's bollocks and infuriating. I'm and exile who bought another match pass advertised on the club website at just gone 6.00pm.
Surely, if there was a suspicion you of a postponement there should have been a warning.
Already this season I have started to travel up, although not millions of miles away to find that a game has been called off. It really does make the club look pathetic |

I bought my match pass through an email the club had sent out earlier with no mention of a possible postponement |

Not happy at all. As an exile I bought my match pass earlier to watch the game live on DAZN. |

When Gilmour scored I thought that was about Time
When Gordon scored I thought that was a little Flash |
