We've not got the players to change tactics though. Jim has brought in players to play this way. It just showed last night when Waller kicked around 20 long balls direct and Mitchell won absolutely zero of them. Mitchell is great knocking in goals played across the six yard box when our fullbacks have overlapped. He's awful as a target man or holding up the ball or spinning off to make runs. His attempted header at the end should have made it 1-1. It was a great ball in from Buyabu and deserved finishing. |

Very poor interview from Jim after that woeful performance. Blamed the pitch, blamed our young inexperienced team and blamed Oldham having a bigger budget! One things for sure is if we meet Oldham in the playoffs we aren't getting promoted. |

This SHOULD be a massive game for the town. Local derby cup quarter finals dont come along for Rochdale that often 🤔
£10 for adults £5 for kids and get it marketed around the town. 2 Wins from a Wembley final and our first ever trophy. |

Lets face it this is Rochdale. We could have rain most Saturday's and Tuesday's every month till the end of the season. |

What has happened in the last few months from earlier in the season though? We've had games in September, October and November with heavy rain during games and it has drained. Now suddenly its f@cked? I remember a few years ago we had a firm assess the drainage and they said the wrong sand had been put on the surface and it had set solid underneath the surface and blocked all the drainage. Has this happened again? 🤔 |

Fairly damning their wording "straightforward decision".
Certainly a different view than the clubs statement this afternoon. |

This is the first game off after spending thousands to rectify the pitch though! I think his point is it was playable on Saturday - the weather hasn't been too adverse in-between then and today. The only other factor is there was a rugby game played on Sunday. That really shouldn't be an issue though. |

The club obviously thought it was perfectly playable with the statement earlier. Not sure what the referee saw that was different. The club wouldn't have been happy with the decision. I cant see any way it was unplayable - it was maybe not ideal but just get on with it. Some of the pitches we had in the 80's and 90's looked like that corner all over the pitch! And the Millwall FA Cup game a few years ago was played almost on sand! |

Interesting article from 2011!
Staggering costs back then to sort out a pitch drainage problem - god knows what the quote would be today to do it properly. Im pretty sure we spent nothing like that amount when the new drains were installed a few years ago (£50,000 rings a bell - which might be why they've failed?). 14 years later and worse than ever.

Yes, just thought there could be a way of draining the centre circle area from above to get the game played then dig it up. The decision has been made now. |

Really shocking situation really that a game has been called off on Friday that takes place on the following Wednesday. The forecast for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday is 7 - 9 degrees temps and a bit of light rain/drizzle. Surely work could have been done on these days to get the game playable? |

It looks like the only postponement in the whole county. Truly embarrassing for Rochdale AFC. |

Will Buckley was such a great player. He's never mentioned much when we are reminiscing about our best X1's but he was a joy to watch - one of our few successes to go on and play in the Premier League. |
