Rochdale Thread

Rochdale are just the type of team who could pin us back. Hope not, but the lads need to be aware, fighting for their league 1 lives it will be a tough old game, unless we can put them under pressure from the off and score a couple would be great.

 

Oh we’ll absolutely *@?$ this one up

Not really going for a 0-2 Wyke & Lund

 

Yeah. It sure will be tight. We are at the stage of every season where the results throw out a few shocks, as clubs at both ends of the table scrap for any point they can get. I'm not sure about this one. I would love a 1 - 2 Win, but until my enthusiasm kicks in - I see a tight 1 - 1 Draw.
Lund is a Rochdale old boy, isn't he ? OH, for the law of the EX ...........

 

Let's see just how far we can go with regards our recent displays, Rochdale will not be easy but 3 points from Spotland all our home games are quite winnable, how ironic if we are there abouts in May and we miss out by a couple of points with whats gone on since the turn of the new year.

 

This is the test now. Our home form is much improved it remains to be seen if the players can reproduce it away from VP.
If Robinson is out he is going to be a miss he provides a good outlet and we haven’t got another winger

 

certainly winnable however when do city ever win against teams near the bottom of the league, the attitude of the players seems to be we only have to turn up to get the points, that's something Greyson or whoever is the manager next season has to sort out, unfortunately a 2-0 defeat is my prediction hope I'm wrong

 

Very negative on this sunny Wednesday morning 65. We won 3-1 and the sun is shining . Come on

 

We have a decent record against Rochdale away and if the players put in the effort they did against Pompey I think we will win this.

 

I can see this been a tough game. Think we will just edge it 2-1 though.

Poleon for the injured Robinson, Lund for Dieng & McCartan for Kai

 

Its good for the players that four of the last five fixtures are against sides with something still to play for. It should keep their urgency levels up. Simply put, if the back four play as well as they did last night then we should be ok.

Robinson will be a loss as he fits how Grayson plays. Warnock was constantly in Robinson's ear last night which, despite not having much joy against the Pompey right back, seemed to help him. Gibson could benefit from similar guidance. But, while it would be harsh on Bruenker, I'd suspect we might see a switch to 433 after Lund's strong performance from the bench and one of Poleon, McCartan or Patrick on the left.

 

Only 750 tickets sold so far.

 

Took 3500 for a dead rubber last year

 

Agree, not good but it's not far for people to change their minds at the last minute.

 

I guess there will be pay on the day available then...

If the sun is still shining I can imagine us doubling that at least.

 

I would imagine so.

 

Short trip out on the rattler for me looking forward to it, hope the game doesn't spoil a good day out again

 

Agreed - I bet the weather is going to be ace!

 

As if the club is sending out emails begging fans to buy Rochdale tickets.

Embarrassing

 

People complain when there are no emails about tickets, people moan if there are.
