Oldham Athletic vs Rochdale

[Hurrikeen]

Here comes the reverse fixture of our local derby.

We brushed them aside with ease over at Spotland, 3-0. however with them having Henderson & Done back for this one I am expecting a tougher game.

A win for Rochdale will cement their play off position, whereas a win for us brings us right back in the mix after a truly dreadful last few weeks both on and off the pitch. We could even be sitting 6th come tomorrow night if Doncaster & County draw.

Likely lineup: -

Paul Rachubka

Genseric Kusunga - James Wilson - George Elekobi - Connor Brown

Liam Kelly

Mike Jones - Carl Winchester

James Dayton

Dominic Poleon - Danny Philliskirk
​

Got a feeling Dayton may get a start here and push Philliskirk further forward. Morgan-Smith disappointed at Fleetwood and Forte is, I'm hearing, out for a fortnight.

A draw is probably most likely, but I have to be optimistic here so I'm going for 2-1.

Philliskirk & Poleon (rarity) to score.

Glad Oldham seem to be putting the Evans nonsense behind them and concentrating onffootball.

To me this is a similar task to Bradford the other week - away game against rivals who beat us at home - hopefully with a similar end result.

A narrow win for Dale with the later winner coming from the usual source.

By the way, 2 decent goals by Oldham on Saturday so well done with the win. Cracking support too.

Thanks.

Yeah, impressive following given recent events on and off the pitch. We've travelled well this season tbh.
