One of those games that stick in my memory. Went straight from work with a Rochdale supporting colleague. Think John Brady ws the catalyst for our second-half recovery against his former club.We were so much on top only bad luck and good goalkeeping stopped us forcing a remarkable draw.

He should be desperate to prove himself and actually win something but I feel his attitude is all wrong. Just because we've never had it so good doesn't mean we should just accept going to shit.vialli 9 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 18, 2024 3:32 pm The Manager seems to be doing what he did last year after Christmas....when he seemed to 'lose his nerve' , and confidence, in his early season tactics. The high press and attack mindedness seemed to be replaced by a desire ' not to lose.' ; Which is not the same as trying to win.
Changing 5 of the starting 11 is asking for trouble. What does he do now? Replace the 5 replacements? Just look at the starting 11 that were winning and change an odd player if needed but don't panic . We are still very well placed and I'm pretty sure we'd have all taken this position in Feb at the start of the season.
This is only my own opinion. It means nothing.
Aye it’s certainly going to take all of us to jump on the rollercoaster and endure what could be the ride of a lifetime. Try and enjoy it if you can but put on a brave face if you can’t and you can always make some noise to add to the excitementGaffer wrote: ↑Sun Feb 18, 2024 6:48 pm Many points available yet. Its a tough league. We've outdone everyone's pre season expectations. Hope we can get into playoffs but it's going to be tough. We can turn this round and even if doesn't happen Saturday it's still in our hands. Let's get behind them. They need us big time.
It was a few years before Brady - his debut was February 1992.SKIPPER wrote: ↑Sun Feb 18, 2024 4:29 pmOne of those games that stick in my memory.

I stand corrected on Brady,case of seeing so many games at Alty over the years my old brain cross-referencing. However unless there was another game I missed I was definitely there ringing wet .Spanner wrote: ↑Sun Feb 18, 2024 11:18 pmIt was a few years before Brady - his debut was February 1992.SKIPPER wrote: ↑Sun Feb 18, 2024 4:29 pm

Saying that wouldn't mind a season or two in league one to go to all the big grounds.We are very similar to Morecambe, Accrington S and Fleetwood as all those teams eventually if Fleetwood go down find their way back to their natural level of L2
Excellent idea!
Yeah because shouting abuse at players really does encourage them to want to come and play here!SteveMcnultyThighs wrote: ↑Sun Feb 18, 2024 8:59 pm Chester a huge miss at the back. The two wing backs that came in, very very poor. However Stockton looks like a real goal scorer and will be massive for us. Wembley is still on.
And fantastic to see the lad shouting at Farman’s arse well and truly fall out.

Too right, Sam. You can't give somebody like Matt Smith time and space as he knows exactly what to do with it. It was so easy he didn't even need to get his sonic screwdriver out.SayitagainSam wrote: ↑Mon Feb 19, 2024 3:56 pm Salford's 4th goal was from another high cross that wasn't dealt with by our goalie or defence.
