I will be surprised if they bring more than 100 in all honesty, they are one of the worst away supported teams in the football league, under Beamish in the old 4th division for a Saturday game in 1984 they brought 4 fans, not the worst though, that was Hartlepoo who bright 2 fans for an early KO on a Sunday 31st March 1985.
I bet those fans felt 'exposed'  We must win today and I think we will 2-1. If we fail to win, we're in serious trouble (not that we're not trouble already, but you know what I mean!) |

A lot of people on here seem to be missing the fact that Rochdale are 10th in the league and have had 6 away wins this season, and, are known for mixing it a bit and some of our lads dont like a physical game.
And unbeaten in 7 games, all of January and February (3 draws and 4 wins).
Yeah but we signed a striker!!! |

We do seem to be riding a bit of new signing optimism at the moment. I'm not exactly sold on Benyon yet due to the fact I have never ever seen him play. |

The signing of Benyon didn't fuel me with much joy and I'd say that if we were top, middle or bottom and every position in between. But he's a forward and a bargain at that. I hope he scores a brace today  |

Thought he might drop Cuthbert, for me he's been poor this season.

Big game for Flint then. Ritchie on the bench? No striker on the bench

Ritchie has a bit of goal scoring form lately, I'm surprised he's dropped him. I guess he'll come on for Dossevi at some point. |

Rochdale being a quite a tall strong side is probably the reasoning behind these changes, aden flint being 7ft is why he's been brought in.
Matt Richie although good with the ball at his feet, he aint exactly the tallest or strongest of players so hopefully dossevi can hold the ball up well today
2 - 1 town benyon and dougie, its going to a tough game but we have to start winig soon

The last time we gulped at a team selection was Charlton... and that was a far scarier looking selection.
Good luck to Benyon and Flint today.

I like that selection. It shows some bollocks. I like the love the look of our wings. Especially with the new found confidence we have in boy lightening.
