All the usual stuff here plus don't forget your predictions.
For me no way is it a time to bleed the kids.Looked to me like we had a few weary players on Saturday, even Jerry wasn't as energetic as normal. Same squad minus the Viking, we need players back to help.
Get the points as quick as we can, start resting players and give players like Apter, Antwi and Holmes a chance.
Totally agree. It must be affecting Rochdale too as they only have a small squad.Looked to me like we had a few weary players on Saturday, even Jerry wasn't as energetic as normal. Same squad minus the Viking, we need players back to help.

If you read my post again, i was saying let's get the points on the board as quickly as possible and give tired players a rest.For me no way is it a time to bleed the kids.
Draw and a win would take is to 72 points with 4 games remaining. I'd be very happy with that. Dale have won 2 and drawn 2 of their last 4 home games, the draws against Peterborough and Ipswich.Tota

Would take a point tonight with a win on Saturday.
We're away?Another poor side arrives at Bloomfield Road and we know generally what happens when we play this type of side.
I'd rather be playing Sunderland away to be honest. More confident of points against a side that think they are good but aren't.
Ah thought we were at home. Same thing applies.We're away?
Yes, Sunderland are not a poor side. They virtually snuffed us out for one thing. If we play them in the play-offs it won't be easy, without Embleton. Maybe Keshi can come back and fulfil that role, to some extent at least. We will certainly need to find another way to attack them, cos we created very little on Saturday.I actually thought Sunderland were the best side we've faced this season. Knocked it around well and created more chances than other teams have managed against us for a while.
Having Embleton back to link midfield and attack is a big bonus for us tonight.
Agreed, we could quite have easily lost on Saturday if they were a little more clinical.

I don't remember them creating any more chances than Crewe or Ipswich have against us. They passed it around nicely in their 3rd but that doesn't get you goals and bar hitting the post, they didn't have many more clear cut chances than we did.I actually thought Sunderland were the best side we've faced this season.

I thought the same before we faced Swindon recently. They had just won 2 on the bounce as well. Our fears were soon putto bed. Hopefully same tonight.The match against Rochdale will be a difficult one as they are fighting for survival and have just hit
some good form. Hopefully we will win it by the odd goal.
Loads of point to warming the bench and getting a feel for the first team.Be nice to see Holmes given 10-15 minutes tonight no point keep warming the bench.
He’s done that last 4-5 games now time to give him some actual game time even if it’s just 10 minutes.Loads of point to warming the bench and getting a feel for the first team.
