[Archived] Rochdale away - 20th July

[RussP]

Anyone else going over today?

I'm expecting GB to put out a strong side which should give us some clues as to his thinking come Derby away. Is Rochina & Rhodes his preferred front 2? Nunes or King, or both? Does he see Taylor as a centre midfielder or wide player? Who's the left back of choice? All undecided, I think.

Great weather for it too, as well as an excellent chippy just outside the away end

Setting off now, gorgeous day, surprised there hasn't been more interest on the message board, optimist or pessimist, it's a game of football in the sun ffs, let the beers flow...

[Blueandwhitemike]

Can you pay on the day?

[kokkini]

£10 on the door according to the Rochdale website

And if anyone is passing through Bury on the way back I recommend music festival at Trackside. Full day without the mrs and kid, happy days

Nice, well i'm off over to Rochdale now, taking my Shanghainese girlfriend, she's excited to see her first football match in such an exotic place

ROVERS: Kean; Kane, Dann ©, Hanley, Morris; Judge, Lowe, Marrow, Taylor; Best, Rhodes.

Rovers Subs: Orr, Eastwood (GK), O'Connell, R. Hanley, Kilgallon, Rosado, Pedersen, Formica, Fabio Nunes, Campbell, King.

Rochina took a knock in training, Henley is working his way back from his hamstring injury and Williamson is recovering from a back injury

Dunn also picked up a knock in the game against Fleetwood last Tuesday. Robinson is on the road to recovery following his operation

and finally (i think), Markus Olsson felt his hamstring (and came off) in the win at Crewe last Tuesday so isn't risked.

Will be interesting to see how the partnership of Rhodes and Best goes on.

I have copy this from the Official Rovers twitter account btw. just like to keep people/fans inform who aren't on twitter

[SoldierMo]

Chaddy are u roversone frm twitter or did u just copy andpaste all that? Cuz thats word to word what i just read on twitter

[Brfcrule1]

Soldier he just copied and pasted it from one rovers he is not onerovers

[West Yorks Rover]

Would be nice to see Best and Rhodes both get on the scoresheet maybe setting one up for each other.

That would bode well.

Its great to have Chaddy on here, he saves us all a lot of hassle, having to look here, there and everywhere trying to find stuff.

[SoldierMo]

Lol chaddy to the rescue

[bob fleming]

Oh Jesus. We're getting beat off Rochdale. Time to put Iggy Pop's The Idiot on and end all this.

Not good enough even for Livescore.com anymore.

Some lads on the back row shouting @#/? all half. Not a brain cell between them. One is an obese gobshite resembling Peter Griffin. Midfield still the issue. Best and Rhodes isolated.

[West Yorks Rover]

Jason Lowe pings the free kick over the stand - quality !

[Josh]

Anyone else's Rovers Player died?

[Tom]

No Songo'o? Wonder if we ended his trial

I think we all know we still need a couple of quality midfielders, surely GB will know that too, lets bloody well hope he does anyway.

Because if he does'nt we could be in big trouble this coming season.

2-0

[K-Hod]

Scott Dann is still gash in case anyone had forgotten.

[Tom]

Kean out

[Majiball]

We can still pull it back and win 2-3!!!!!

No suprise to hear he was done for the first. Can't believe anyone really rates this guy, been same ever since he turned up. He has the odd oustanding game which clouds everyones judgement but apart from that he's been consistently poor .

[rovers11]

Shots on target so far = 0. Same problem as last season still there, don't create anything. Needs to be addressed in the transfer market before the season starts.
