The League 1 General Chat Match Thread

And our game with you now moved from Saturday 14th, 15:00 to Thurs 12th at 19:45.
God I hate SKY.

Probably will reduce the away following from somewhere in the region of 700-900 to a measly 200-250. For me, Bradford on a thursday night from London? No thank you very much!

 

[PuB]

Gills Vs Rovrum is off

I can't do midweek home games, so bit annoyed as I'll be missing it as well.

Any Rochdale fans don’t know what it is like your end, but I can see the game being called off because we cannot get there. The team coach is due to leave at noon today, and assuming the players can get to home park, getting out of Devon looks very problematic. A38 and M5 are shut, police are telling people not to travel and the Met Office (handily based in Devon) are predicting freezing rain making the roads like ice rinks. All train journey’s north of Plymouth are cancelled because of the damage to the sea wall. That said the temperature may be up to six degrees later today so it is possible the roads could be open at some point. Looks very touch and go to me, and I would prefer the team do not travel, for their own safety.

 

[T.A]

Dunno about the pitch but its bad on the roads in and around Rochdale.

 

[KeithH]

People stranded on the M62 @ Rochdale most of the night very much doubt it will be on

 

[T.A]

Yeah Police have advised people not to drive anywhere in Rochdale but that isn't anything to do with the snow...

Rochdale match officially off

 

[Deepcut Cobbler]

Our game at Blackpool has been called off...like it when they make the decision early.

 

[Boletus Edulis]

Rochdale match officially off

Good, that is sensible. I imagine as our players were setting off at midday our CEO would have been hassling to get a decision early.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Donny v Bury officially off

 

[Millerbri]

Don't know if anyone has seen this elsewhere, but pinched off Millers Mad.

Just highlights Shrewsbury's achievements this season for me.

 

[Hurrikeen]

Our game at Scunny is apparently on. Reckon it could end up being an MK/Fleetwood-esque following.

Elliott Ward being the 7th best paid player in the league is absolutely criminal

 

[Marked Ox]

Don't know if anyone has seen this elsewhere, but pinched off Millers Mad.

I assume they had the wage details of every player in L1 to make such a list and be so definitive about their wages?

Just highlights Shrewsbury's achievements this season for me.

 

[bantamigo]

How do people know what players get paid? The employer shouldn’t disclose it should they? And can’t imagine the players walk around telling people they don’t know/trust.

Always amazes me how Firthy knows *exactly* what all our players get paid.

 

[Bottega Don]

Our game against Oldham has been confirmed as on.

Kinda wishing it wasn't as we have one fit striker and we're absolute shite.

 

[Lancs@(Bantam)]

If you don't win today then that 5th place is well up for grabs from numerous teams, unfortunately we're too shit to be one of them

Our play-off spot has been up for grabs since we got in it, just nobody else seems to want it.

 

[Shrimpurh]

Our game is definitely on

I would take a huge punt that of the 40 odd players supposedly earning 5k a week in LG1, none are from STFC, in fact I'd be surprised if any are on half that.

 

[Simpo]

Eoin Doyle, Rob Hunt and January signing Patrick McEleny return to the bench for Oldham. Great news.

 

[Gassy]

0-0 all round at HT then.

We really should be 1 or 2 up though

 

[07.05.16]

Get the fuck in Ellis!

 

[T.A]

Good win for Oldham, if they beat us next week it'll put them in a very good position to stay up

 

[Hurrikeen]

Well deserved win in the end. Doyle is just brilliant;.

 

[Simpo]

Eoin Doyle, Rob Hunt and January signing Patrick McEleny return to the bench for Oldham. Great news.

Scunthorpe 0-2 Oldham
McEleny 78, Doyle 83

Good news indeed. bama:

 

[Bottega Don]

In a very unsuprising result we lose yet again. What a terrible game as well. We played absolutely fucking terrible yet missed 3 golden chances which could have won us the game easily.

Won 3 games in the past 3 months. Play CB and CM at full back. One fit striker who doesn’t score. We’re in a very bad place.

 

[Gassy]

I don’t wanna take the p*ss but what 3 chances were they? The only time I even raised an eyebrow was the long shot where our GK made an excellent save.

Your GK MOTM sums it up for me, especially in the first half he made some superb saves.

Sorry to say but MK were poor - strange one as you can see the players are individually skillful but as a team, there was nothing there. No tactics, no fight, no passion. Rochdale were miles ahead of MK the other week - unless something drastically changes, you’re going down for me.

As for ourselves we weren’t fantastic but we did what we needed to do. We didn’t really have a weak player on the pitch today and generally looked solid. We do miss some flair up front though as many times we hold the ball up when we really should be looking to shoot/score.

Shout out to 18 year old Russe though who made his first team debut, he looked excellent. He could turn into a hell of a player

I don't support MK Dons.
