Well it’s been a while since we’ve been in the papers.

He grafted hard and did well winning the ball back at times. Just his distribution was poor today. Improvement is needed but I wouldn’t go in too harshly on him.

Lovely stuff.

Absolutely ‘angin team Crawley.

I’m sure big Anth will put a good word in for him at Carlisle

Decent day out. As others have said, didn’t play well but we won, which is usually a good sign.

My god, the quality was poor though. I’ve watched a lot of non league football so I don’t consider myself a snob, but I hope we see some better football in the weeks to come.

Got the carpet man coming round, sorry.

Highlight of the day was some bloke sniffing the vinegar at the food kiosk and saying “vegan vinegar!”

To be fair, they’re better than that Sondico £10.99 5-a-side strip we were fobbed off with a few seasons back.

I rang at 3. Was told there’s too many people in the queue collecting season tickets so they weren’t bothering selling tickets over the phone.

I’ve since been down and collect both.

French lads looked alright, as did Coke, good on the ball and strong.

Need strikers.

Isn't he an Oldham lad? Must be knocking on a bit now, he's been around for donkey's years.

37. Oldham born. Came through Rochdale’s youth system. Had a stint playing in India before signing for Burton Albion in 2016.

I hope he takes the Check-a-trade Trophy by the scruff of its neck.

Looks a bit off-the-peg/oh shit we forgot again.

Might look better in the flesh.

Looking forward to it.

I hope negotiations involved the words “were getting the old gang back together”.

What’s Reece Wabara up to these days?

Unbelievable Jeff.

Hopefully he knuckles down and shows the league what he can do.

I was in Newport in November. It looks like Ashton by the sea, but actually has some decent bars.

I was absolutely gutted yesterday, but as many of us have said, it’s been inevitable. (The club’s ran terribly, player recruitment, #frenchlads etc. etc.)

However I cant be doing with moping about like a fanny, so I’m just looking forward to 1000 Latics in Morecambe, Macclesfield and hopefully Biiiirkinhead next season.

Rochadale's equivalent of those two American women...

They raised £500 for return flights from Spain to Manchester? He’s mugged them right off there ?

Thought Edmundson did ok, as did Hamer, although he was caught out a couple of times. A decent performance from the pair, given the circumstances and the atmosphere.

The midfield just isn’t working at the moment. We desperately need change things.

Doyle was up against it, and Nazon isn’t a wide-man.

I’d have Andrew at Latics.

We still look like a team of individuals, relying on a bit quality from the likes of Doyle/Byrne/Nazon. Disappointing when ability-wise I’d say we have the best team we’ve had in a few seasons.

I can see a clear out in the summer with a team based around Byrne, (hopefully) Doyle and probably a new manager.

My son, Jack, is supposed to be the mascot today. We live in Michigan and wanted to watch Latics before we head back to the USA tomorrow. It's still snowing near Hebden Bridge....

Still snowing relatively heavy up the valley in Tod. The Rochdale road after the Portsmouth game was treacherous in the snow so take care.

Get the pitch sorted and it’d be a yes from me.

Lack of leaders out there as well today.

Dear god, I’d forgot about Ricardo Fuller..
