TVOS Preview - Rochdale v Yeovil Town
at 18:33 18 Oct 2025

Hero to zero in 12 minutes.

Kyle Ferguson, never given a real chance at Dale was applauded when teams read out by a few sat near me and i echoed that sentiment.

Then he did that today. Mani pushed him over in the chest as 2,700+ people saw in the ground, but then chose to hold his face in red card attempt. This reminded me of a game in a Dale shirt where he feigned head injury, was treated and off for 30 seconds, during which we conceded. It’s as low an act as a player can go and got the deserving boos.

Onto Dale, it’s fair to say that 3-0 flattered Yeovil, and that was at half time.


First goal was a contender for how many passes before a goal
Second was all Dave, served it on a plate
Third was smart finish by East - who is full on purple patch mode.

Can we ban sponsors for giving Mani M.O.M. unless he gets a hat-trick please? Dave was simply fantastic today.

He was used during warm ups. Jims choice.

Has Nebwy got some beef with Dale fans?

When scoring the first goal, his immediate reaction was to run to the Sandy rather than towards his own fans. I know he is an ex-player but can’t remember any animosity either way.

Made me think of the recent Ryder cup where US fans abused Europe players rather than supported their own. Goad rather than celebrate.

FA Cup 4th Q- York City (H) 11th Oct -Match Thread

Today for me was seeing how we faired against the team i had/have down as the one to be above to win the title. They hammered us 0-4 last season and were good for that win.

Today first half was a stalemate, two teams playing the same possession based way, York slighlty edging it. Loan keeper made 2 great saves in first half.

Second half and pretty much the same until the first goal.From that point we went on the front foot and had them back-peddling, with a deserved equaliser.The first batch of subs had brought energy up front and game on.

The second batch of subs however for me destabilised us and put York back on top. Gilmour on his own in CM was getting swamped, Smith/Mancini not sure who was playing where, but that flank was weakened and York attacked down it again and again, leading to the corner and eventually a second goal.

Overall we were much closer to York than last season and overall coped well with them, aside from the obvious scenarios. EELs v Pearce a good competition.

Lessons on corners to be learned.

If we achieve promotion then Jim will be the first manager of Rochdale to either

a) win a title or
b) win at Wembley

Either achievement would be amazing, no chickens counted by me.

It’s fair for him to say that i reckon.

Score first: 9 games - 9 wins
Concede first: 3 games - 2 defeats, 1 win (forgot Alti game)

Kairo i thought today was more physical than he was in the second half of last season.

We have played 8 games against teams we played last season.

2024 15 points from 8 games
2025 21 points from 8 games

We have played 4 games against teams new to this division. Comparing against teams no longer in the division is not direct, but these are the stats

2024 12 points from 12 games (6 clubs left)
2025 9 points from 4 games (6 teams joined)

We’re doing rather well in the 6 pointer games so far this season.

Cracking effort by all today to negate almost all threat from
FG. Work effort across the park is immense.

Eels and Rodney on bench.

Former, for me, is our leader, captain and rock at the back. Shame he’s out but 46 games is a lot.

Remember when we lost 4-0 to both Barnet and York last season and we realised the difference between the top teams and the next level?

I think Carlisle fans have had that epiphone this week.

Should have been game over before half time, more circumspect second half but little threat throughout from them.

No flippancy from me, superb 3 points from a place where nobody else has got owt so far.

Oh, and i backed us at 9/4 to win too. 😀

100% record in September.

Ironically might not get manager of the month this time. 😀

Hard to tell, they seem to have struggled to breakdownv defensive minded teams, but last night showed they can turn it on if opponents set up to attack.

Hard to say if their starting 11 is better than last year, Newby a decent addition, Kitching for John? Jury out on that one.

Sacked manager early on which doesn’t aide consistency.

Through-ball from Levi after just 35 seconds was a peach, had Rodney scored it truly would have been a fast start.

Watching York v Carlisle highlights and was as one sided as scoreline shows.

Carlisle played 4 at the back, a high line and high press. Cut apart time and again, 4th goal was a beauty from back to front.

They looked to struggle to clear set pieces a few times.

Always had York and FG as the two to beat in this division, nothing to change that opinion yet for me.

Carlisle will be hurting after tonight. Will be a tough game Saturday.

York were hurting after Saturday but finally showed their potential tonight. Them v FG on Sat is tasty too.

Not sure on him as not factored all season, so either injured or third fiddle.

Edit: the man from del monte, he says ‘yes’ (he’s injured)

3rd major difference.

1st team not decimated by injuries. Last season everybody but Beckwith had sizeable time out injured. So far we’re doing ok, with only Pritch and Tuts out.
