Goals from Chris O'Grady, John-Louis Akpa Akpro and Joe Thompson eased Dale to a 3-0 victory at Fleetwood as Keith Hill played a potential starting eleven for the Hartlepool game.

Reports from the Lancashire coast suggest this was a highly comfortable victory by Dale, with Dale following more of a 4-3-3 formation. It would appear to have done the trick as the home side offered little, and all three up front for Dale getting on the scoresheet,

It is believed that no subs were used by Dale throughout the game with no places in the Dale squad for trialists Lucas Akins or David Buchanan.

Dale: Josh Lillis, Scott Wiseman, Joe Widdowson, Craig Dawson, Marcus Holness, Brian Barry-Murphy, Gary Jones, Jason Kennedy, Joe Thompson, Chris O'Grady, John-Louis Akpa Akpro. Subs: Danny Edwards, Reece Gray, Danny O'Donnell, Alan Goodall, Matty Done, Matt Flynn

ColDale added 09:50 - Jul 21 he's down on Soccerbase as John-Louis, and the way we have the profiles set up involves linking with Soccerbase (not fully implimented as of yet) and every time we use a players name, it links to his profile. So we went with John-Louis in the report. Once we get full clarification on his name, we'll get it all changed. I'm more concerned about a different combination of Akpa Akpro every time I write his name.
