Serious question
at 14:13 4 Sep 2013

We're looking good for Saturday, but unfortunately I've gone into these Rochdale games confident in the past and ended up embarrassed on a number of occasions, so we'll see.

That said, in Danny Mayor and Craig Jones we haven't had a better wide two for an awful long time, I'd even say they're better than Mike Jones and David Worrall were. Craig Jones has the best delivery I've seen at Gigg since I started watching and Mayor seems to dance through players, and has an eye for a pass. Your full backs whoever they may be will have a task dealing with them. Not to mention Big Jessy when he gets his inevitable cameo in the second half, and Tommy Miller who is, well, a rich mans BBM.

At the other side of field though, our defence looks by no means solid. Went into the season thinking our defence would be our strong point this season although this hasn't come into fruition yet. Early days though - a few games together and I'm sure things will be looking up. For our centre best centre back pairing at least. Gareth Roberts on the other hand looks susceptible to anybody with pace or an ounce of strength. Someone with both will more than likely have him for breakfast.

Don't know too much about the Dale side, I'll be honest. You have a very fresh look about you this season when it comes to the starting XIs that I've seen posted around here. I guess that's all relative though when compared to your opposition on Saturday.

Anyway, the game should promise goals, we've scored three goals on four separate occasions this season and for once we actually look like scoring every time we push forward. We've conceded a fair few, too. But I'm fairly confident.

New to the board by the way, Bury fan if you haven't already guessed but I have no intentions of 'trolling' or poor banter, just discussion. All the best for Saturday.
