“Sports Report” used to be a joy at 5.00pm on Saturday back in the day.
It was the only source of information regarding final scores though: now there are so many ways of accessing information. |

Admittedly they’ve a healthy lead at the top of League One but the Football Gods may find it presumptuous to already describe Cardiff as a Championship club for next season! |

Strange given that he lives in Royton, his brother played for Oldham and his late wife used to work at Spotland. |

Let’s be positive. We’re clear at the top of the league and, looking at the next month’s fixtures up to the Southend game, there’s no why reason why, provided that people put their shooting boots on, that we can’t go on another run.
I can see the Halifax game away game being a potential banana skin but how did they contrive to lose to Gateshead last night?
Sorry if I’ve tempted the FGs there.
The only issue for BJ this morning may be reassessing his team for Saturday. Did he anticipate the likes of Mani D and Rodney playing 90 minutes last night? Could well be a chance for Allarakhia and Hendo on Saturday. |

Could be quite a clash of styles when Forest Green entertain Carlisle on Saturday.
FGR certainly looked mobile and skilful last night and there was a spell, immediately after their equaliser, when they had us on the rack.
There was a lot a stoppage time due to running repairs to the linesman and perhaps Dale were glad to hear the halftime whistle.
I noticed a slight change in emphasis after the restart; their number six had been controlling things from the back and it was noticeable that in the second half that East was harassing and harrying him every time he got the ball in his own half which interrupted their flow. All credit to BJ for that.
Incidentally did anyone else think that the ball had gone out of play immediately before their goal?
It was nice to see Dale ripping into them from the first minute and there could have been a couple of other goals as well.
Moss has been a revelation recently. I initially had him down as an outright defender plugging a gap on the left but he’s definitely grown into that wingback role.
I bet there will be a few sore bodies this morning and it’s a short turnaround before the long trip to Somerset tomorrow. I wonder if one or two may be rested eg Rodney with Tuesday’s match in mind? |

Volunteered to be searched at the Sandy Lane turnstiles but the steward only wanted me to take my hat off. Inconsistent. |

It’s raining pretty hard now but it’s nice to travel from distance without fretting about a postponement.
Would be nice to see 3000 in attendance tonight but I don’t think too many will venture north from Gloucestershire and the rain may also deter a few. |

Ah, Bovril/Oxo and a meat pie…..
Wasn’t there something of a furore at one stage though when the Fighting Fund switched suppliers from Hilton’s to Nicholsons? |

I was impressed with our set pieces today.
In tight games this can make a difference and so it proved.
EEL is a real warrior. Commands our half of the pitch in every respect.
Some great cameos yet again. Pritchard is a real asset from the bench as is Pettit and Hosannah looked sharp when he came on.
And Hendo was a real goal threat when the game opened up.
It shows that even when opposing teams contain the right hand flank then this team can find other ways and means to score.
Great atmosphere too. Not too much moaning and some real vocal support. |

That suggests to me that he’d be happy with a draw.
Incidentally, having seen the size of their team coach on social media, I hope Forest Green “park the bus” at York. |

I’m not sure that Galvin was here when Mani D was fit and available for a start.
It’s hardly a secret how Dale setup and play - and I would have thought that Hughes’s analysis team could do that job! |
