Wycombe 0 Rochdale 1
Robert Dwyer
ADAM LE FONDRE’s celebrations following his last minute winner for Rochdale were no doubt tinged with more than a little relief, after spurning a glorious opportunity just before half-time, somehow heading wide from no more than five yards.
The vistors profligacy had looked to be costly, as they dominated the game but [...]

Brentford Away by oily sailor
Every pub in Brentford/Ealing has the same name: “The New Inn”, so meeting up with people can be a tricky business. “I’m in the New Inn” Barry Kool texted at half past 10. “I’m eating a Thai breakfast of snakes and ladders,” Peg Henderson barked into his ‘98 Nokia. “Shit,” [...]

Paul Lambert? “The team’ll be built from [...]
