    Fair enough. But it doesn't seem worth going 30/40 minutes in the wrong direction from Baildon just to avoid a bit of town centre traffic in Rochdale.

    If it avoids the Wacky Races on the Shipley Airedale Road / Wakefield Road then it’s well worth the extra 30 / 40 mins.

    Shutting a chippy on a match day?! That one must have come straight from the book ‘how to run a chippy (into the ground)’ by David Sharpe.

    For anyone who gets here in good time the ticket office is selling away tickets it will save you the hassel of queing and paying at the gate.

    Got a bad feeling about this aft. Caddis in the T&A bigging is up and a larage away following - both usually set the tone for a defeat.

    If Bristol win away at Oxford and we lose, we’re 5 points adrift again...

    Rovers currently beating Oxford.

    Meaning 4 point gap.

    Looks a much more defensive setup today. Don’t know why - the best way of us defending is getting on the front foot. Our recent form is entirely down to being more attack minded - can’t see the thinking.

    I fear for us today.

    I'd expect the same Christmas tree formation with O'Connor in midfield. No reason for Hopkin to change it

    I hope so. I don’t think I’ve ever seen us play well with 5 at the back in my life.

    Looks a poor choice of system and players, Lacks width and height up front, strange choice especially as Spotland has a lot of room down the wings which they use to good effect playing in the space behind wing backs punishing teams that use them here

    5 adrift at the minute. Makes it all the more important today.

    Got a good record at Rochdale. Unbeaten in last 7 I think it is there

    What's Miller done wrong I'm a little baffled with that starting 11.
    If we don't get 3 points today Hopkin out ;).

    Even worse then.

    We need something from today's match.

    2-0 to Rovers.

    Doesn't sound like the sort of thing that @Botswana Bantam@Botswana Bantam is going to add to his culinary wish list o_O

    Think Hopkin is worried about the physical threat of their front line with them going direct.

    3/5 at back not worked yet. Better hope it changes today
