TVOS Preview - Rochdale v Accrington Stanley
at 16:46 24 Oct 2026

I’m sticking to my Watson never in. It’s too chaotic and not what we need. Losing 5-0 at home is there with the biggest shower of 💩 I have seen in many a year. Shocking in every level this one

Absolute disgrace and back to the start of the season garbage. No excuse for that. Sherring has been rubbish, Francis should not be on the pitch, defensively found out and lacklustre, zero going forward with Middleton and Hayes nullified despite effort. Worst first half I have seen in years.

As previously mentioned been impressed with acc this season but that is no excuse for that display.

Just when I think we have taken forward steps… Francis is not our answer to midfield. Sherring has shown absolutely nothing to show why he should be included in this team. Rediculous out from the back garbage sends us one nil down.

Acc have looked a good side so far this season. Why are we at home with a defensive side. 19 mins in and IW has this one wrong again for me.

Self destruct button activated. Always due a couple with young players.

Played well without creating too much, but soft goals to concede. Unless something crazy happens second half, this might just be a learning game. Gilmor having a good game and Hayes battling and causing problems but don’t really see a way back into this now.

Middleton brilliant again, flint involved ‘again’ and Hayes tenacity since coming on.

When we move the ball quick we can look dangerous but brown is a bit isolated. Swindon are set up for a smash and grab in this game and hopefully it doesn’t come off.

Central midfield is still not right for me and this is I am guessing sadly somewhat from injury rather than design. Francis and gilmour are not a good mix against physical or any team with height.

Tasker is really proving to be a prospect and flint is already my player/signing of the season. Hopeful we continue to push as Swindon are an average side and we are making them look better human they are.

Some great spells in this game but it has been crying out for the central midfield to be changed since half way through first half. We are getting over run in the middle of the park.

Not the most attractive game but a battle that we won. Moss was fantastic again and a great shift put in by all. Gilmour was better in midfield. Have to say the standout in the past few games though has been flint. It’s amazing how sometimes a player joins the club and you just know that are a perfect fit. Flint seems to be a “perfect fit” for Dale. Slotted straight in, commands, communicates and “gets it”. What have we learnt for today, hopefully that we can keep it tight and grind out results.

Ramming is still a major concern and not ready for this season. Hopefully IW sees this

The only positive I can pull from this is we are not losing.

Mani is absolutely shocking. Gilmour is about to get sent off. Midfield is all over the place, second to every ball. It doesn’t end

We just don’t look like we are ever going to create anything though. It’s a dire watch again with last ditch defending. No flair and shape is all over the place. Mani is marked out of the game again and having wide players is great if you’re going to get balls into the box. See a late Walsall winner here sadly.

We also sit bottom of the league based on current results.

Done is best mates with Hendo and I don’t think for one minute that Hendo didn’t have some sway in bringing done in. Have to agree that a full departure of the core background staff was debilitating . The team took a huge turn when done and Taylor came in to support Jim.

That was not a good watch and a polar opposite from last years positivity, which given the current on field debacle is understandable. This documentary if picked up by a decent company ‘preying Netflix’ could be the saving grace.

Watson’s body language was that of a drowning man. I really hope he can change this around, but if you zoom in on the discussion around bringing in someone to oversee ie director or football and how nothing gets past the head coaches recruitment, he looks so uncomfortable.

Seems like a nice guy but not sure that was the rally call we all needed.

Praying we finish 3rd bottom after 5 games of the season says it all. Absolutely smashed at home by a bang average league two side. Gills are not a good team.

All o can say is I hope two teams are worse than us this year. Sadly I don’t think they are.

Mani is being both man handled and not strong enough to hold up the ball which led to their goal. We have not been terrible but also not done much. All these balls into the box are great but you have to have a target. Would have draw written all over it but wonder goals changes games.

Not sure what Watson changes here or how we get a point(s) from this game.

All over the place again. Zero effect in the final third on the rare occasion we get there. Moss the shining light in a poor start.

Colchester are not a great team and we are worse than that. Looooong season ahead

Having played a fair bit of football, despite if you buy into the managers ideology or not, you don’t play like today. It’s the most disjointed, could not give a flying effort I have ever seen. Individually they may have not even bothered showing up. I did not see more than two passes that connected all game. This hold on to the ball and dribble rubbish is not modern football. If you’re going to do that do it in the opposition box or at least in the final third. Many dale fans are half glass full and let’s take the positives, but I saw absolutely nothing in that and have not all pre season. I will always be grateful to have a club after what we went through and I, A million percent agree we will have challenging periods where we have to compete with the money clubs but today on opening game in a return to the league football as a disgrace.

I’m not sure on what planet you are 2-0 down and playing tippy tap football on your own box and doing it badly. Newport must be pissing themselves at this. One up front with mani who I don’t think has touched the ball, Rodney is apparently on the pitch. If this is the season we have ahead then every good bit that was done last season is now undone.
