You can’t fault the players’ efforts to get Unsworth sacked.

Shelton’s even better.

Reid’s miss!

If Frank and his family trust the opinion of Darren and Joe Royle, then I can only see them doubling-down on Unsworth after yesterday’s behaviour.

A post mortem involving the management team, captain and CEO is surely inevitable after yesterday’s shit-show? Maybe we’ll get a decent right back / right wing back off the back of it, or am I just desperately looking for a positive? I wouldn’t claim to be a knowledgeable fan but the worry I have about yesterday’s set up was how, defensively, it was so different to the stuff we’d worked on in pre-season, with forgotten man Sutton parachuted into the unenviable role of looking after one of their better players in a position that doesn’t suit his talents. Surely continuing with Hobson on the right of a flat back four, with a hard-working Ward ahead of him would have been a better, if not ideal solution?

Low hanging fruit where Latics are concerned.

I don’t think I was alone in thinking he was a massive disappointment and I kept hoping he’d eventually ‘click’. Ain’t happened and surely right back beckons until we sign someone more suited to the position.

Who? Jeff Stelling?

Cheers, I’ll do that thanks.

Nope, he’s fourteen. I was going to submit for him but realising now that might not be possible. Is there a way?

I’ve just caught up on the fact he’s only 26 years old, an ex-Fulham youth of 8 years and has played almost half of his professional games for us. Only going to get better, isn’t he?

We did, in fairness, take the lead in the first half of our last five home games of the season, albeit, we only went on to win two and draw three, conceding late equalisers in those.

I’m not sure they’d need to close it off altogether. There are two sets of steps on that side - the ones that take you towards the Chaddy End (which could be closed) and a flight immediately to your left as you leave the stand which exit onto the road.

There’s an exit to Furtherwood Road from the steps that you’re talking about.

Sent for me and my lad.

Fully expecting a swimsuit parade of new signings at the fans forum tonight.

Possibly, but both scenarios are a marked improvement for us fans and something to look forward to either way.

Types Matt from his laptop in the Maldives. Subscribed btw - cheers guys.

We can’t ignore the important issues of the day.

Rochdale are likely to struggle. Unrest behind the scenes with staff openly critical of the owners. We know all too well how that plays out.

Hope we don’t have to suffer finishes of 10th, 16th and 8th before we see some success!

I think the football’s been boring during our 2023 purple patch, but I appreciate that it would feel a lot more exciting if we were pushing the top of the table.

I remember watching him being bundled into a car, looking worse the wear, by a few non-playing Latics players at 2.30pm on a match day once.

Any other pissed off main stand paddock dwellers on here after struggling to find decent replacement seats following the limited notice from the club about the closure?

Frank’s wife’s favourite colour. Possibly.
