    Rochdale like to play 4 1 2 1 2. I expect O Connor to step up into the space rather than play 3 centre backs or have the option to do so

    At least Hopkin is consistant, he obviously deals with players on a day to day basis but Chicksen is not having the best of times recently.

    I think Chicksen is due a rest.

    A 6 month rest.

    Don't like the 3 centre half formation at all. I hope his tactics and formation don't backfire today. We really need the 3 points to keep in touch with 20th place again.

    Needless to say I hope I’m wrong but I’m convinced we’re getting well beaten today.

    We’ll go behind early, and never be in it.

    Well if we get beat today with his stupid 3 at bk he'll be under big pressure again and rightly so.

    Maybe more realists :(, but I'll take any s**t you want to throw at me if we have 3 points at 5 ;).

    Quote from Hopkin on radio Leeds now...

    "The players in the squad now are the ones who've put in the hard work."

    Tells you all you need to know about those not on the bench then.

    Whether we like Chicksen or not all our best results recently have come with him in the side.

    He’s clearly doing enough to warrant his place. And from what I’ve seen from wood he did ok in the side but he’s not ready yet for me

    I understand maybe the need to rotate during this busy period, but I feel much less confident about today now with those changes. Doyle up top on his own doesn't work, neither does 3 centre backs.

    Tim Steer on radio Leeds saying our stand is looking full. Sounds like a good turnout.

    I'd prefer a four at the back. Chicken hasn't threatened at all from left back.

    A four would allow O'Connor to go midfield freeing L OB to get forward more.
