Wrote this today, pretty much sums up how I've been feeling recently and wanted to share as a reminder to keep pushing on 😊✍🙏 #mondaymotivation

@officiallydale Gutted but don't begrudge him this at all. Legend for what he's done given where the club was when he took over and fully deserves this chance 👏

[Michael Baines @MEBaines]

I was slowly starting to come round to the idea of Manchester Originals - less the competition, more the team. Everything that they post now though is an embarrassment. Has anyone from their socials team actually watched this?!

[Michael Baines @MEBaines]

@RochdaleFan @GabSutton @RochdaleAFCcom Oh absolutely Abdulmalik, but Ayinde was the perfect foil on the other side. We didn't know who to focus on and that left so much space.

His finishing was summed up perfectly by the save in the opening minutes, showing Whatmuff way too much (ace save though)

[Michael Baines @MEBaines]

@RochdaleFan @GabSutton @RochdaleAFCcom Worth saying he tore us apart at Wembley though! Albeit still lacking that end product

[Michael Baines @MEBaines]

@RochdaleFan I do agree with that, I just think we need to be ruthless and sign starting no.10s! Whatever happens it'll be a hard decision, as Jim has to try and maintain that togetherness in the squad

[Michael Baines @MEBaines]

@RochdaleFan Aside from that I agree with pretty much everything bar Barlow. Don't think he's shown enough, though that may be recency bias as end of last season he was invaluable

[Michael Baines @MEBaines]

@RochdaleFan I believe we have options for Myles, Pritchard, Burger and Edwards, based on them all signing "initial" deals

[Michael Baines @MEBaines]

Yes. Yes it is.

It’s even better with Titanic music…

The best moment ever as a Rochdale fan? Utterly utterly bonkers. What a weekend. What a club. 💙 #RAFC

Jim McNulty, this man.

Appointed when we were at one of our lowest points as a football club.

Dropping out of the EFL and financial problems.

Next week he could be the man leading us back to the EFL.

What a job he has done, JMBA 💙 #RAFC

[Michael Baines @MEBaines]

@officiallydale Going out to deliberately injure a fellow pro with a rib injury who was struggling to breathe, what a big man he is 🙄

[Michael Baines @MEBaines]

@officiallydale But Southend fans said they were going to knock us out again? How does that work now?

[Rochdale AFC (P) @officiallydale]

Crede Signo. Believe in the sign.

There will be the usual plaudits tonight, & the normal polished interview from McNulty... but look underneath all that - look how far we've come from Bottomley, Morton House, Southall & Jarvis.

For the first time in a long time - its fun to be a Dale fan.

@JensonRAFC @officiallydale Have you literally put that just to make a sexist comment? She's been invisible, exactly what you want from a ref. Piss off and find another team

"We're in a privileged position to be fighting toe-to-toe with a team that would be too good for the division above." 🤜🤛

Are Rochdale doing well just to compete with such a strong York side? 🤔

[Michael Baines @MEBaines]

@mightydaleRafc @matthadcroft02 @RochdaleAFCcom We've got 99 points, more than 30 more than last season you absolute weapon 😂
