It's going to be interesting to see how the players react tonight. The away stand will be almost full and it will be loud, an early goal for them and the home crowd could be hostile on top of that.
All the more reason for us to go for it and shut the away end up.

I'd say it's 100% certain O'Donnell won't be fit enough for even a place on the bench tonight.
I'm not certain on the current rules but I actually expected the club to announce the 7 day emergency loan signing of a goalkeeper yesterday to cover for the next 2 games. As Eastwood is the only fit 1st team keeper surely we must be eligible for the emergency loan? In the circumstances there is no point recalling Brad Kelly as under EFL rules he wouldn't qualify as a 1st team keeper due to lack of appearances so I think the the club should be eligible to bring in another keeper on a 7 day emergency loan. If we are eligible surely there is a better alternative out there than playing Eastwood? His performances have been so bad that if we are not eligible for an emergency loan then I would rather see us recall Kelly and play him as I doubt he would be any worse and would benefit from some first team experience with a view to next season in the National League.
Sent this clip to a Liverpool supporting mate whose response was OMG just do anything! Absolutely no-one prepared to stick a foot in at any stage. This is spectacularly embarrassing footage from a group of professional footballers and to me completely sums up the attitude amongst far too many players. They really really really could not give a monkeys. Have been thinking recently about Cameron John in that you tube video. Why don’t you live in Rochdale - have you ever been there? I know and we all know Rochdale ain’t the greatest but slagging off the town you are paid to represent in such a casual manner sums up the total lack of respect he and many others have for this club. That defending has the exact same attitude. They couldn’t care less the effort put in to keep this club afloat over the years. Couldn’t care less we have 102 years of football league history that is going down the toilet. Sure a relegation might not look great on their CV but they’ll move on to another job after this with nothing but bad things to say about their time here. None of it will be their fault of course. I don’t know whether we have just gotten unlucky with recruitment or this is a direct consequence of Stockdale and Bentley hiring the wrong people. Maybe it doesn’t help having inexperienced people in the boardroom who can’t step in and say something either. But my God this goal clip has got me annoyed when so far I’ve just been sad at our demise. These players can all get to fook. Tonight is going to be a disaster. The only question will be how much we lose by. I for one am not going to go and put myself through that.

Emergency loans are only allowed if you don't have a fit goalkeeper who has made 5 or more EFL appearances in the squad, so Eastwood's availability means we aren't eligible for an emergency loan.
Also re: Brad Kelly - I think he may also be injured. He's only played one game since he went to Airbus and hasn't even been on the bench for their last 3 matches.
Tangled up in blue.

We beat them in a mid-week Auto Windscreens thingqummy in the mid 90s too. Steve Whitehall told us pre-match that "We'll beat these tonight". He was right. I'm sure it was the season we made the area final.
Stockport were a really good side at the time too. Game was played on a pitch that froze as the game went on and probably wouldn’t have taken place these days.
Can’t be certain, but think it was this game that secured Mick Docherty the job after Sammy McIlroy turned it down.
Over two pages on a match thread before we even know the teams! Let’s just say that, whilst I approached last Saturday’s game with optimism, tonight’s feeling is one of trepidation.

All I ask is they prove us wrong that they show they are worthy of a professional football contract. Have some flaming pride in their selves and respect for fans and the league and not roll over and capitulate.

Not sure why they'd change a habit they've got in so far all this season, most of them simply don't give a toss and are just draining a wage out the club, when that contract ends they'll move onto some other idiot willing to throw money at them.
