Sure there’s plenty I’ve missed that others will add:
O’Donnell was dropped due to conceding 10 in December, he’s responded well and will be back in net on Saturday as Eastwood hasn’t coped too well with the pressure and criticism.
‘Tavhon Campbell is fit and available for selection and that’s all I’ll really say on him’
There was January interest in Odoh, yes you read that correctly.
We still don’t know exactly why the Brierley move didn’t work, it still could as Blackburn have got top lawyers appealing, Brierley earlier in the week told Rochdale he didn’t want to train and risk injury while the move may still happen if the appeal is successful, however he today told the club he’s willing to return.
The club was going under if Scott Hogan wasn’t sold to Aston Villa.
The desire is still absolutely to be fan owned, however it’s becoming impossible and at the minute Simon’s main concern is making sure we have a club in 10 years which at the minute may not be the case. |

This is ridiculous and exactly the attitude which has led us to where we are.
I’ll let the EFL know you count it as a draw and wait for them to change the league table ðŸ‘🻠|

The club needs to have a genuine rethink of the type of people we employ as stewards, it’s always been obvious they will give £15 and a yellow coat to anyone that fancies it, but tonight they were dangerously incompetent and not for the first time. Leaving the Pearl street at full time at the bottom of the steps was an old man on the floor, not sure what was happening but a fan had to literally run across the pitch to the main stand to get the attention of the medics, the stewards form a line behind the goals at full time, what were they doing?
Best wishes to the fan. |

Another rubbish performance, to score 3 at home and not win is criminal, O’Connnell clearly isn’t happy since his best mate went to city and I’m sick to death of him making mistakes and blaming everyone around him like he’s too good to be playing with those around him, arrogant so and so. Not a pair of dangly bits between the entire squad. |

I had a similar struggle preseason and we ended up ringing the ticket office and they sorted it over the phone for us, it’s definitely free for a child that age. |

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all involved in this entire episode, I’ve just become a parent and had genuine concerns I may miss out on the chance to take my daughter to Spotland had these vultures got hold of the club, I will sleep a little easier tonight thanks to all of your hard work.
Thank you. |

I’ll be honest I thought the exact opposite, I see this as BBM will be here until summer and won’t be offered a new contract and the club want a director of football in place before then to look at the squad etc and have his hand in the appointment of the new manager. |

Can’t do links to Facebook closed groups but if you go the appreciation page on Facebook and search ‘dream move’ you will find the video of BBM claiming Baah had secured his dream move. |

BBM has been on sky sports news this morning and confirmed that Baah has got ‘his dream move’ and we now are hoping to get him on loan for the rest of the season, and we are speaking to a player from the premier league, a player from the championship and another player from league 1 with the hope of bringing them in today. |

Football League sides were facing a battle to convince players to accept wage deferrals on Wednesday night as a potentially crippling stand-off ensues, despite bleak warnings that at least 10 “famous” clubs could go bust as the coronavirus crisis deepens.
Higher paid players in League One and League Two are being urged to accept salary deferrals of up to 25 per cent for April after a conditional agreement was struck between the EFL and Professional Footballers’ Association.
But some clubs were struggling to convince their players to accept those terms on Wednesday amid concerns the deferrals will turn into more substantial cuts to wages over time.
Telegraph Sport spoke to several senior executives from League One and League Two clubs who said they were worried some players were failing to grasp the gravity of the situation as tensions grow.
One of those executives said: “There won’t be any wages to cut by the summer if there is not appropriate action long before then because there will not be a football club.”
The splits emerged as Andy Pilley, the owner-chairman of Fleetwood Town, warned a host of clubs would go out of business unless urgent action was taken.
Fleetwood reached League One in 2014 after six promotions in a decade thanks to the millions invested by Pilley.
But the Lancashire businessman, while vowing to keep Fleetwood alive even if that meant rigorous cost-cutting, fears other clubs may not be so lucky.
The likes of Macclesfield Town, Oldham Athletic and Southend United are just some of the clubs who were suffering financially even before the global pandemic struck.
“My concern, my big worry is that we may have double figures of football clubs who go to the wall - famous football clubs who no longer exist, who no longer deliver the quality of life and the pride to their community that they have done for perhaps 100 years or more,” said Pilley.
“[The crisis] may ultimately threaten the very existence of our clubs if sufficient action is not taken.
I think better understanding of this situation is required so the whole of football can find a collective way through this incredibly challenging time.
“The very integrity of the competition we love is at stake here. We don’t want to be watching football that is about clubs points being expunged, [using the formula of] points per game, seasons being null and void. We want a healthy Football League with sustainable clubs for the future.
This is not just about the self-preservation of Fleetwood Town. My football club will be OK. I may have to cost-cut significantly but I will find a way to navigate through these times and we will continue to exist.”
Oakwell Sports Advisory, a leading sports financial advisory firm who have advised on a host of football takeovers, including Leeds United, Aston Villa and Derby County, estimate that the coronavirus pandemic could cost Football League clubs around £170 million in lost revenue if the current season is not finished.
They predicted that Championship clubs would be facing combined revenue losses of £120.1m and League One and League Two clubs collective losses of £50m.
Many clubs in tiers three and four were initially pushing up deferrals of up to 50 per cent, or wage cuts, only for the PFA to oppose such moves.
But even the compromise figure of 25 per cent for players earning over £2,500 per month is already proving a hard sell to dressing rooms, despite support from the PFA for the proposal.
Senior players in League One earn an average of £247,188 annually - or £4,753 per week - while their League Two counterparts earn an average of £113,951, or £2,191 per week, according to a salary benchmarking report by the EFL as of last September. |

I know some clubs have stewards in a position where they can see the turnstiles, and for the different age brackets, a different coloured light flashes, alerting the stewards who to expect through. |

Thought it was an exciting game for a 0-0 with both teams having periods where it looked like it was a matter of time until they scored, thought Morley did really well when he came on, as he has every game he’s played so far.
Really pleased with the start to the season, I definitely would of took it if offered 4 weeks ago, and that goes for both results and performances. |

Not quite, it does say on the voucher itself ‘all ticket matches are excluded,’
So does this mean that now it’s not all ticket anymore these vouchers are now useable? You know what we’re like for common sense, and wouldn’t be surprised if they aren’t, as it was originally all ticket. |

Think the new owner changed policy and allows anybody in, if memory serves me correctly I think away fans were allowed in from the Sunderland game onwards, however there was never more than a handful, if that. (Apart from Sunderland of course!) |
