In my dreams a free flowing Charlton with Lookman, Holmes and Botaka destroy Rochdale with pace and fluidity Big Josh scores a magnificent hat trick and our defense record a clean sheet were easy 6-0 winners. Damn these dreams hopefully a scrappy 2-1 win COYR
At home to a side who have been playing as poorly as Rochdale we HAVE to go attacking from the offset. Assuming Bauer makes it through to the weekend (if not Konsa):
If we start with a positive attitude and an attacking line up there's absolutely no reason why we shouldn't win comfortably. However as we've seen this season so far that isn't always the case.
Have found it hard to stay away and consequently have attended a few games at the Valley this season and a few away games too. It is in my blood even though I feel I should be boycotting. But Tuesday night really knocked me for six. It was so terrible, I just don't fancy the Rochdale game and that is nothing to do with Boycotting. Watching Wimbledon, then the complete idiot making exactly the same mistakes on Tuesday night just raises my blood pressure and makes me angry. Expecting a defeat and I will deal with it better taking the dog for a walk. Will attend the Coventry game, but only because it is a protest match! It seems that coming to the Valley for any shred of pleasure is an impossibility nowadys.
Last time we were at this level we lost 3-0 at home to Exeter City on Football For A Fiver Day.
More of the same I fancy based on Tuesday's performance. Keith Hill's teams take the game to the opposition and I don't think we will cope.
Nope last Football For a Fiver at League One level was a 2-0 win at home against Stevenage
Michael Morrison scored a peach of a goal that day
I was there! Took a bunch of mates as well. They're Newcastle supporters so it was nice for them to see a clean sheet. BWP missed 150,000 chances that day too.
double bubble.. we put an end to our run of draws and to Rochdale's run of wins .. about time we beat one of these gritty lil northern clubs who love a good ruck and to thumb their noses at the southern softies ... Holmes as an attacking CENTRAL midfielder alongside Lookman behind Magennis and Ajose with Fred and Crofts in a more defensive role .. no good Slade sticking to passive negativity .. .. manager Hill is a shrewd old head and just might come here looking for a point ... Russellllll: f f s attack and see how he reacts !
Rochdale are the form team so might as well save our better players for Tuesday's Checkatrade... Consider 2-2 a victory for Brussel, and hopefully there'll be enough dosh in the kitty afterwards to top-up Katy's sun tan before the long, hard haul of the winter months ahead
I simply don't see a change in our strategy in the offing, so sadly I'll go for a repeat ofthe Wimbledon game, with us losing 1-2 having scored first. Basically I thought Brussel would have put two and two together against Oldham. He has now convinced me that rather than an upward curve, he is seeking a plateau of dullness, and behold. We are already there.

The only upward curve RS has is above his belt. You don't see him and a pie competition in the same room ....
Brussell is about as much use as an overcooked sprout!

If not, no idea.
There are plenty of options, so bloody well try some !
Can't warm to the bloke at all, he is like the worst middle manager imaginable. He can talk football speak but what he has served up so far is dross.
Have a horrible feeling its going to get worse. 0-2.

CAFC 2 v Rochdale 0
Should win, draw seems on the cards, who would bet against a defeat.
Who cares???
