A Greater Manchester ‘derby’ in front of the TV cameras then & a chance to put right one of our worst displays of the season at Spotland. Which I’m sure Parky will be reminding the players of.
Assume no major changes from the squad at Chesterfield, wonder if James Jones & Donowa are any nearer fitness but other than that possibly same starting XI. Maybe Amaluzor for Mooney the one you might debate. And, of course, if the weekend off has given Ross the chance to regain full fitness or whether Gould will be back in. Fingers crossed.
Rochdale have a reasonable away record with 5 wins, albeit all against bottom half sides. Both sides like to play football so should make for a good game, though the rain forecast all of tomorrow daytime so will be a heavy pitch. With our strong home record I’d back us every time though so I reckon a 3-1 home win. Crowd intriguing with iffy weather & it being on the telly. I reckon a shade below 2k with about 500 of them.
