Rochdale (R)

Dale were relegated after a late Chesterfield comeback condemned us to a life back in League Two.

Whilst the relegation may have been confirmed today, it had been a case of "when" rather than "if", and despite Jean Louis Akpa Akrpo's opener, it was the same old story as Dale lost their third away game on the trot.

The result was undeserved as a spririted Dale performance took the game to the home side from the start, and a home victory never looked to be on the cards.

Aside from the result and relegation, the game was noted for a second half show of support from the travelling supporters.

Swansea City : Go for number one, save time looking for second best
We had had a good look around the latest betting on the next Swansea City manager. Basically the bookies in this market are generally far off the mark when it comes to Swansea betting. They wheel out a few anomalies like Russell Martin who would never return to the club and prey on fans hope more than sense.
