Who Are The League One Managers? No.19: Brian Barry-Murphy (Rochdale):

It would be fair to say that not many football supporters outside the north-west will know much about Brian Barry-Murphy. Far from being a complete novice in sports management, the likeable Irishman has a wealth of information at his fingertips: his father Jimmy Barry-Murphy is a GAA legend in Ireland through his career in both Gaelic football and hurling.

We'll be sliding further into the Playoffs with a loss today. Could find ourselves 7 points off top spot if things go against us. 3 points are essential, 1 point wouldn't feel like enough to keep us in the automatic promotion chase.

We’ll be fine and a win today is going to happen. Keep the faith and imps 4ever 👍
 
Start of a big 8 days. After that we might not play again until Good Friday if call ups scupper the televised Oxford match.

Put in the performance and the points will come. Let’s do this.
 
Yet again another massive week awaits concluding with Sunderland. Really hope we click today and set about improving our goal difference. A blustery day for it but the pitch was looking great on the pics I saw on Twitter. UTI👊💥
 
If we can come second today that will a great result...

Expect the wind to win easily with Rochdale hopefully third

Have stopped worrying about the league position a couple of months ago.

Nightmare scenario now is just hanging onto play off spot leaving ...

... two ties to win for promotion.

Obviously could be even better...

Just enjoying the season - will start to worry when there is something to worry about.

I would be ok with that - it would be rest and recuperation.
 
Potentially a massive confidence builder for the reformulated squad, let's make the most of this against one of our less challenging opponents (in theory)....
