Reply | Refwatch - Rochdale v Scunthorpe United
at 23:30 17 Feb 2026
Let's be honest Scunthorpe were average at best. Long aimless balls dominated their play and the goal they scored came from our mistake and proved the benefit of shooting from outside the area and as importantly keeping it on target. We could and should have won that game easily but our finishing was dreadful and we failed to trouble the goalkeeper with any direct shot on target throughout the second half. We have done remarkably well so far and deserve much credit for that but our chances of staying ahead of York in this title chase depend entirely on our ability to stop spurning chances when we are clearly on top and the better team. Come on lads lets show some composure in around the box and earn the reward your excellent approach play deserves. UTD. |

With Dev still not firing on all cylinders and Smith not available I would like to see Pritchard start in the No 10 roll. He is adaptable, has an eye for goal and can thread a pass. It would be worth try and we do need to find a way of adding some fire power. |

Just watched the York/FGR match on DAZN. I think our game on Wednesday will be completely different from yesterday. FGR won't do a Carlisle that's for sure. They employed a press against York throughout and tried to play at high tempo. It will be interesting to see how that game has affected them though because at the end a few of them looked out on their feet. If they follow the same pattern on Wednesday I don't think we will be talking about it being a dull game. Hopefully, we can out stay them and keep our run going. |

As soon as their goal went in we noticeably upped the pace and had them unsettled. We need to try and continue playing with that intensity for the rest of the game who ever comes on in the second period. Slow build up wont win it for us they are happy to defend it out. |

The point of this thread was to highlight the capabilities of Solihull and recognise that they will provide a proper test. The fact that it is a midweek night game or a Saturday game is irrelevant. The challenge remains the same and hopefully is one we can overcome to provide a springboard into the raft of important games we face over the next few weeks.

Thread | Solihull Wednesday
at 17:48 18 Jan 2026
This will be a serious test for us to overcome on Wednesday. Solihull are much improved from the team we thrashed earlier in the season. It's not a situation where we can hope to score the odd goal and ride it out as we are inclined to do. Outside of the top seven they are the team to be most wary of. Their ability to score goals marks them out as a very dangerous outfit.They are capable of punishing you as several teams have found to their cost. I hope we are at our best, take our chances and don't settle back if we score. Hanging on to a one goal lead will not work with these as Carlisle discovered yesterday. Buckle up, I think it could be a tricky one, the first of many over the next few weeks.  |

Bearing in mind our recent list of missing players, it may be I am getting a little paranoid, but I did not see Mani in the training video on X yesterday. Since the boys seemed to be focused on finishing it seemed a little odd that he was not involved. Did I miss something ? |

Perhaps it's just as well that the players seem to have more faith in him than you.😄 |

I just loved Jakes interview after last night's game. I must admit I thought he might be feeling disillusioned this season with not playing as often as he may have expected.
How wrong was I.
He was articulate, speaking with real enthusiasm about the team, the manager and the closeness and belief of the squad. He also said how pleased he was to have Pritchard back in the team, a player with skill and experience and one he feels he can learn from.
If anyone has a doubt about the strength of belief and unity that Jim has created in this group they should listen to this interview from a young player not currently in the starting lineup but who sees himself as part of something special.

Its great that we won but if we are serious about trying to win this league we need to be much more prepared to test the opposition goalkeeper. Its fine working the ball in and around the area but if we do not fire in a shot when an opportunity occurs (which it did several times in this game) we will always be vulnerable to the lucky hit or goal against the run of play. Surely the management team must see when reviewing games how many chances to shoot we turn down in favour of an extra pass. We have got away with it in a number of matches this season because of stoic and spirited defending but it should not be necessary to be biting finger nails when we have dominated a poor team like we have today. |

The wind was a major factor today. Both teams struggled to master the conditions but we got there in the end. I also thought that the cameo by Amanchi was as good as he has been, although still can't see him being here when the loan period expires. |

As predicted a great contest in which we are more than holding our own. two really good opportunities missed before their goal. a great response from Dale and cracking goal from Toby. |

It will be interesting to see in this game what our coaching team have learned from our cup game defeat to York. Hopefully, to have a man on the edge of the area to close down the shot following corners etc. We can't afford to give Newby the time and space he got last time. On a positive note the team should be encouraged by the way we had York rocking for a spell after we had equalised. It should be a great game, hopefully we are ruthless with our chances when they arise and our captain has the correct studs in this week 😄 |

This match will be off. We know the pitch is incapable of taking significant rainfall, we know the weather forecast over the next two days. The Club needs to grasp the nettle and state up front the true position and rearrange the match for 6th December when both clubs are available. To not do so would be a failure to those fans who have to make travelling plans and not least the Scunthorpe away followers. |

What an advert for National League football that was. Boreham Wood were excellent and gave York a stern test and were well worth their point. Abdullmallik was a real handful for York. On the evidence of that match our performance earlier this season should be marked up. If they remain relatively injury free with there small squad they will continue to be a threat to all. |

Acid test for Boreham Wood tonight at York. A win would take them above us (having played two more games) but it's a tough ask with York in form. A win for York would put them five points behind us having played a game more. Ideal scenario would be a draw, fingers crossed. |
