Games changed for TV

I guess both Dale and York changed at the same time possibly to avoid accusations of favouritism or one team benefiting from later kick off at the crunch end of the season.

Poll: DF in or out

Whether people think its an advantage or disadvantage to play before or afterwards - we play after York's game 3 times in the run in. If we are still ahead of them (or 1 point behind) then I think its ok. If we are behind them and go further behind as in 4 or 5 points before we even play it will put us under a lot of pressure.

With 7 games to go until what i hope will be a title showdown matchday 46.

Dust ourselves down after the disappointment of Southend and get back to winning ways on Saturday.

Up the Dale.

Id be very fearful unless we're 4 points ahead of York heading into that final game,

Looking at the games that are left trying to work out which of Dale and York's opponents will have something to play for as in at risk of relegation or slim chance of a playoff spot

I think this might help.

Think of all the players who are with middle teams or in fact all players up and down the league who are playing for a new contract for next season. These are people who have to impress their managers to recruit them for next season. No better way than a star performance late in the day. Against a top team even better.

This might level the playing field. in other words the players may have a bigger say than the managers.

Hopefully those players playing against York will put in more effort to secure their future contracts than those playing against Dale.
Looking to Saturday Brackley definitely need the points from the relegation battle perspective and a win for Tamworth will basically guarantee them safety.

In a game of fine margins i do think the scheduling of the midweek games next week is giving York a slightly unfair advantage. They go to Gateshead on Tuesday and then have Woking at home next Saturday. Woking play Southend away on Wednesday so have 1 less day recovery. We play Scunny away on Wednesday and then a long trip to Sutton. Sutton play Tuesday night so have an extra day recovery as well. Very poor scheduling in a critical stage of the season.

It's a fair point. Don't think we stayed south after the Eastleigh fixture. The club email was headed by "The Long Trip to Southend" and that wasn't just about travelling fans. Did it make a difference? As you say, we look to have another tricky schedule next week

Because both teams would be a very similar situation if they get pipped to the post by the other. Might be worth having a chat with Luke Williams to see how he kept NC focused after just missing out on automatic promotion.

You would suspect the pressure is really going to be on the lads tomorrow in a tough fixture. Just win please, I dont care how.

Some Gateshead fans suggesting their game could be off, with the amount of rain forecasted today. So we could potentially go 5 points clear tomorrow with a win. That would firmly put the pressure back on York

I'd prefer it went ahead in difficult conditions. Could be a bit of an equaliser in a game York should otherwise comfortably win.

Could be, but also a good chance of Stones slipping in the box and being awarded a 90+10 pen to seal the win

Have you seen Scunthorpe's pitch? Definitely not a surface for playing around at the back. A more direct approach may be needed tomorrow.

Could be the sort of game more suited to Liam Hogan...

Strong breeze forecast too. Let's hope our defence aren't wearing their "slippers"

It’s a shame he’ll be playing Hartlepool.

Aye, but tbf, McNulty has explained that Dale couldn't guarantee him the security of the extra year he's got at Morecambe, which will be particularly important at Hogan's time of career.

Maestro? No. Elite? No. Heavyweight poster? No. Able to be rational and not over-react to individual results? Yes.

True enough, but his departure and with Beckwith still out of action, it leaves us short of cover at CB. Perry looked to be carrying a slight knock on Saturday too, whilst EEL dealing with high punts in a breeze isn't one of his strengths

I think the deadline is this Thursday, so maybe someone will appear as cover.

Surprised we haven’t got cover in for EEL as there’s no other natural central centre back on the books. Gordon could probably play there though.

After previous changes in that position, could imagine the reaction if we were to leave the captain out at this stage!

BBC York reporter on Twitter posting videos of ref inspecting the pitch. Water coming up as the ball rolls in the most recent.

If it starts, can’t see it finishing unless the rain stops.
