Not checked this season, but there used to be individual lights that weren’t pointing towards the pitch in the past!
There might be a reason for this, but worth checking on Saturday. |

Scott-Morriss maybe not at the same level as last year but would trust starting with either Allarakhia or Pritchard there and be confident bringing either on as a sub would be fine too. If we’re winning, would expect Galvin to come on.
They’ve just re-signed Caldwell on loan from FGR. [Post edited 4 Dec 20:12]

There are also three coaching links: Neil Edwards coached at Bolton and Owain Fon Williams is there at present in that role. Also, I think, Fred Barber held that position but Dale’s keepers would work with him too for a while.
It’s a great question, the 90s keepers should be memorable to any regular fan over a certain age. |

Would agree with the transport thing. Get as many buses as possible going. Just need to get numbers of who may be interested. |

What really stood out was how comfortable he looked fitting in with how we play. His positioning to receive the ball and then find players with the right pass was very good, he’s obviously picked it up quickly in training this week. |

Whereas I thought we were really good first half! Lots of good football but poor final ball/effort on goal. 11 corners as well, but we certainly didn’t capitalise on those much.
Eastleigh defended well throughout and their much maligned keeper had a great game. |

Yeah, both Burger and Pettit were good in midfield after coming on. Mani needs a goal, not a penalty one, on another day if he’d been sharper in the box he’d have got one. |

Another good win. Got to admit McNulty got the changes spot on, East’s role drifting right caused them issues all game. If we can find that ruthless streak in the final third we’ll be winning even more convincingly.
Keeper did well, confident and a great save in the first half. Pritchard is such a good footballer wherever he plays. |

Don’t agree with Pettit being left out after last week. Either Allarakhia or Pritchard will be one of the two behind Mani with the other at LWB. |

McNulty was manager when Quigley was here and could have retained him or looked to sign him from Stockport permanently. Whilst accepting fans see players differently, I thought Quigley’s attitude was poor.
We’ve had plenty of bookings this season, we’ve visibly looked to waste time and manage game and McNulty has already had a touchline ban. Don’t think there are any issues with us being too nice this season. |

Quigley came on as a late sub when we won at Wimbledon just after McNulty took over from Bentley. He didn’t appear again after that.
He’s also not played this season. |

Hopefully fans will appreciate this and that any inconvenience about attending games elsewhere is not put into the club.
Fans may not be able to get there, they might not get the seat they want, but please let’s try not to add to the club’s work and expense if possible. |

We’ve certainly done much better so far than I thought, yet would still see the top three as a good achievement. It always depended on how well other sides do, and the number of those averaging over two points a game is probably higher than expected at this stage too.
I’m like you though, we are capable of winning the league and it’s clear that’s the relentless aim of the players and management. When looking at how we play now, that focus on winning at all costs is evident in how we attack and defend. It’ll need some luck and patience along the way, but I think the connection that’s been built with supporters will help with that too. |

One of the significant improvements over the last couple of seasons has been in making attending games at Spotland an enjoyable experience again. There were some concerns around the style of football for a while, but the progress was visible over time and it’s been ages since we’ve seen a run of boring games.
There will be the odd bad result and performance, but the consistent improvement over time is obvious and there’s a feel good factor at every home game. Of course that’s helped with how well we’re doing so far this season, with expectations being exceeded at present. |

Good play from Pritchard for Burger’s goal.
Brackley and Tamworth both winning 2-0, looking like we’ll be almost certainly be out. |
