BRIAN BARRY-MURPHY expressed his frustration after his Rochdale side conceded a 96th-minute equaliser amid a 3-3 draw against fellow relegation battlers AFC Wimbledon last night.
The result could prove costly, as it leaves his team four points from safety in League One with two games to play.
The Cork native’s squad has a strong Irish influence, with Eoghan O’Connell, Conor Shaughnessy, Jimmy Keohane, Jimmy Ryan, Gavin Bazunu, Conor Grant and Paul McShane all within their ranks.

Ronan O Gara will return to Irish shores when it suits him to do so and not a moment before, according to Donal Lenihan.
The former Ireland international retired from playing in 2013 and moved straight into coaching, taking up a position with Racing 92 until 2017.
He subsequently spent two years at Crusaders in New Zealand and now finds himself in the head coach role at La Rochelle.
There has been a widespread expectation that the ex-Munster out-half would one day return home to coach the side he won two Heineken Cups with as a player, before, further down the line, being involved in the national set-up.
