Re: Rochdale
They may have picked up a bit again but I think they’ve left it too late this time. Wimbledon have been fighting and Wigan seem to be getting it together again. Even with a storming finish they are unlikely to make it out of the relegation zone.
Re: Rochdale
I think they’ll drop this season.

Re: Rochdale
Sadly cut adrift and recent win against Swindon comes far too late. Why they let regular top scorer Henderson leave on a free to Salford is anybody’s guess! Are doing well just to exist given no match day revenues during Covid but will drop to level 4 very soon ....a pity.

@clegghall....... isn’t Clegg Hall fancy apartments these days? I remember having a teenage fumble there after I convinced her there were no ghosts

Re: Rochdale
Rochdale away when Measham scored and we denied them the play-offs was a brilliant night, had some good laughs at Spotland over the years.

Re: Rochdale
That was the game that had been called off twice, first time on Easter Saturday and then two days after York. They thought they'd cracked it with us having nothing to play for and even went in front. Then we sorted them out with goals from Ian Measham, Mike Conroy and Robbie Painter with Painter having the distinction of having scored the last ever fourth division goal.Vegas Claret wrote: ↑Thu Apr 15, 2021 11:31 pmRochdale away when Measham scored and we denied them the play-offs was a brilliant night, had some good laughs at Spotland over the years.

Re: Rochdale
One of my favourite away games, zero pressure on us, result didn't really matter to us and we just swatted them away. Great atmospehere, "What's it like to score a goal" sung to Measham who thought it was hilarious. It's great in the PL no doubt but the journey up was epic for people like me (going since 83) - the journey down not so much for guys like you who had seen the better times no doubtClaretTony wrote: ↑Thu Apr 15, 2021 11:59 pmThat was the game that had been called off twice, first time on Easter Saturday and then two days after York.

Tell me about it - so hard to see that decline from where we'd been. No wonder I enjoy it so much now despite the frustrations of losing leads in the last two games.Vegas Claret wrote: ↑Fri Apr 16, 2021 3:34 amthe journey down not so much for guys like you who had seen the better times no doubt

I'm with Buxton with this, from the 1974/5 season finish to the Orient game is as dramatic decline in the fortunes of any club I can think of.

Re: Rochdale
I always forget that Rochdale game was scheduled for Thursday 30th April between the York and Wrexham games. Wonder if it'd have got tense and if fatigue would have derailed things if the York game had been lost and the Rochdale game had gone ahead on the Thursday.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Thu Apr 15, 2021 11:59 pmThat was the game that had been called off twice, first time on Easter Saturday and then two days after York.

Went to Carlisle but always regret not going to York.
Wouldn't the distinction of the last ever fourth division goal go to Tony Daws? Cracking goal to level up the play-off final against Blackpool.

Re: Rochdale
I could not believe it when we lost at Crystal Palace, despite our league position we had demonstrated time and time again that come the big day, the Clarets turned up... sadly not for league games. The team massively underperformed in the league.Silkyskills1 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 17, 2021 11:24 amQuarter final of the FA Cup in early 1983(and should have won the first game), looking at extinction just over four years later.
The year after we set off like lightening, I still maintain it would have been a very different season had we not lost Kevin Reeves to injury. It was the series of bad appointments following the dramatic failure of Bond that pulled the rug from a swift return. By the time Frank Casper returned we were on the floor at every level of the club, to the point the managers office was nothing more than a desk and meeting desk... nothing at all like the designer space with stocked fridge that Buchan had arrived to.

Re: Rochdale
Psychologically, to move up two spots from bottom must be huge. Big gap up to Wigan and AFC Wimbledon though, each of whom have won their past three. still, my virtual tenner is on them doing it

Re: Rochdale
The climb towards safety continues. Since my OP they have played three, won three. Unfortunately for Rochdale, so have Wigan and AFC Wimbledon.
These three are the current form teams in the division. Fascinating scrap for survival

Conceded in the 97th minute to draw with Wimbledon tonight. They need a miracle or three now. That was their opportunity to put pressure on wigan.

Re: Rochdale
I was thinking about this the other week. Since the Orient game, there have been many "do or die" league games where at a one off occasion, Burnley needed the win and got it. I think our record is pretty good on these occasions, as the 2 relegations since 87 have both been gradually inevitable.elwaclaret wrote: ↑Sat Apr 17, 2021 11:42 amwe had demonstrated time and time again that come the big day, the Clarets turned up...
The play off finals, the last day nail biters - we have a good record in league games that matter. It's in our DNA
86/87 - Win or go out of the league
91/92 - York - Won in the last minute to win the title
93/94 - Play off final win
97/98 - Win vs Plymouth to stay up
2000/01 - Win at Scunthorpe to go up automatically
2008/09 - Play off final win
2013/14- Win vs Wigan to go up automatically
2015/16 - Win vs QPR to go up automatically
The only occasions where we could say to have "bottled it" are the Torquay play off game and the Coventry home game where we needed to win 2-0 to get into the playoffs, other than that, this is a pretty good record for any club.

Re: Rochdale
If I remember the Coventry game was due to a Hungarian-esque performance by their keeper. I remember Gaza spinning around in complete shock when heir keeper saved a top corner free kick.. how differently we could recall Gaza’s influence, had that gone in.Ric_C wrote: ↑Wed Apr 28, 2021 11:25 amI was thinking about this the other week.
