Reply | Refwatch - Port Vale v Rochdale
at 14:48 31 Oct 2026
Sky commentator just summed that game up perfectly "a sorry Rochdale team"
Toothless up front and too weak all over the pitch. Scoreline actually flattered us.
I want IW to succeed but having serious doubts about his ability. Pre season was poor and I thought under prepared for the rigours of a league 2 campaign. Other than Hayes, signings didn't fill me with confidence, IW recruitment felt a bit like a kid in a sweetshop (collecting wingers) reminded me too much of Stockdale.
Poor start to the season, thought it would take a while for new system, new players to click and would have been happy with a season of consolidation, thought we had started to turn a corner but now right back at square 1.
Sadly I don't think IW has the ability to turn this slump around. I don't think the players have the confidence in his abilities to lead them. He seems too passive a bit like Eyre was. With the games we have coming up I think we will be bottom 2 by December.
Hope I'm wrong but my faith in IW is gone. |

I don't think he needs reminding to be honest, I'm sure he already knows.
Labour Party founded 1900, Co-operative Party founded 1917 as both parties basically agreed on policy formal ties between the 2 were set out in the Cheltenham agreement of 1927.
At the last election there were 43 Labour And Co-operative Party MP' elected to parliament.
Andy Burnham is the first Labour/Co-operative Prime Minister. |

I would hope it's the latter, play like a demon, put yourself in the shop window, and maybe get us up and around the play off's (I know my prediction), you might even enjoy it at Dale and get a new improved contract, or move onto pastures new having done a right good job for us! |

Whilst the reinstatement of the academy is certainly a positive and will hopefully allow us to develop our own players and maybe sell them on, I fail to see how it can be budgeted for in much the same way as going on a good cup run and drawing a big team. It's nice but it's a bonus.
I suppose you can try to play the law of averages and get the most out of a situation should it arise by clever contracts and sell on etc. Just that there's no guaranteed fixed income to budget from (in my opinion). |

New manager, new system, difficult start but hopefully click around Christmas and finish 15th. A season of consolidating our league status and strengthening in January and steadily improving will do me just fine, I would take 22nd right now. |

Now that is nice, if I only buy one shirt this season then that will be it. |

There is a picture of the goalkeeper shirt from when we signed the lad from Brighton, it's quite nice. |

Have to say I really like that kit. Like the pink and black detailing on the collar and cuffs, the black badge and the sponsors being in black. Will be buying this one. |

Going off the 5 second teaser on twitter looks predominantly white with black accents will have to see if any blue has been incorporated. Interesting take on the badge. |

A very poor attempt. Won't be buying it. In my opinion O'neills have had 3 decent kits in the time we've been with them, the blue black and white striped one in their 1st season, the red and black striped one and the all white one. I bought last seasons home kit because the design on the side panels and the way it continued into the shorts grew on me and we got promoted in it. This one is utter pants, someone at the club doesn't like stripes! |

Have to admit I'm really enjoying the world-bowl so far. I've made a little bit of money by predicting goals scored in the 2nd and 3rd quarters and personally very excited to see the adverts during the half time show in the final. |

Good luck to Jim, but not too much. I'm still bitter about Stockport nicking Danny Bergara off us and him nicking Frain, Beaumont and Ward off us. I don't want to see Edgeley Park on the telly and the Jimmy McNulty stand ! |

Totally agree about the Ogden's but can't say the same for SG, he was responsible for the appointment of Stockdale and gave him carte blanche to act like a kid in a sweet shop recruiting players who not only got us relegated but had the worst attitude ever to disgrace the Spotland pitch. Hendo excepted. |

I would imagine that some sort of financial settlement will be agreed, I know it's different circumstances but Middlesbrough agreed approximately £2m with Derby County a few years back, don't know what the deal with Wycombe was.
I would suggest a fine of 25% of the increase in Premier League prize money. 50% chance of Boro beating Saints and 50% chance of them beating Hull. |

Jamie Allen released by Coventry, aged 31 could he do a job for us, would he be a realistic signing? |
