One observation is the sheer number of late goals we concede. Northampton (H&A), Salford (A), Stockport (A), Crawley (A), Carlisle (H), Walsall (H), Sutton (A). Bad luck? Fitness/concentration issues? Or just part and parcel of a young, inexperienced squad? Either way, doesn’t bode well.

All the above TBH. We often concede very poor late goals from set peices too, unmarked headers etc. could be from late substitutions disrupting the defensive unit too. Its a bad habit tho and something we need to stop, I never feel confident going into the last 5/10 mins of games with only a single goal lead, ever. |

Well, we know where we're goin'
But we don't know where we've been
And we know what we're knowin'
But we can't say what we've seen
And we're not little children
And we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out

I do think Morris has alluded to fitness not being great when he arrived without going the full Joey Barton on his predecessor.
Looking forward to seeing some non-fatigued pre season games next year!

Rochdale fans on their forum very confident they can beat us, well it is only Swindon, yet in their last 16 games they have suffered 10 defeats and only 2 wins, one win being last week vs Stevenage at home.

We only have 6 wins in our last 20 games, so I can see why they’d be confident in fairness. |

Admittedly we haven't won there either in the last 5 visits with 3 defeats and 2 draws.
We have only 4 wins ever in the 14 games played there.
But, we have only lost there 3 times, all of those in the last 5 games.

I've been to Rochdale three times. Guess which three. I am also here today. You've been warned. |

I went once back in 1986, we won 2-1 and I still didnt enjoy the experience so never went back, I feel your pain! |

Despite the results, I always enjoy a trip to Rochdale. Very friendly fans, proper club. Hope they stay up. |

They are proper fans who have suffered a lot, I didnt like the ground much but it has changed a lot in the last 38 years or so. This is how I remember it!  |

Can’t say I’m surprised that Shade and Jephcott have been dropped. Both were extremely poor at Walsall. In saying that, unsure if we created one chance for Jephcott
