Ta!

Are Rochdale playing Ched Evans FC tomorrow?

Bizarre.

So little goes on forums when it comes to clubs this size that I always have to flesh it out. Yeovil were the worst.

If we were in The Championship then it would be a piece of piss collecting comments but selfish United refuse to go up

What a strange pre-match view

 

[ziggy4001]

When a famous 'celebrity' footballer like Ched comes to a place like Rochdale they TAKE NOTICE.

Utterly bizarre set of comments...

Not a criticism, they just come across as weird and obsessed

 

[Harry's Game]

I am no legal expert but there is at least one comment on there that it may have been wise not to repeat or reprint.

I was expecting this to be a tough game tomorrow and they sound quite confident, need to be fully on our game tomorrow.

I have picked United on last man standing, never let me down, well not on the one occasion I picked em

Here's one more...

On previous results, this is a home win. After all, every previous Rochdale visit to Bramall Lane has ended in defeat. But we did get one monkey off our back by managing to beat them at Spotland last year...

Nevertheless, and despite a couple of disappointing results so far, Blades are going to be a very tough nut to crack for us. Quality players throughout the team, and they appear to be after the excellent Sam Morsy as well. They also have three Dale/loanee Dale old boys. Done, Basham and O'Connell all did well for us and are good lads who would be welcome back if they ever become available.

I've been pleasantly surprised by Dale's recruit from Sheffield this summer. Harrison McGahey has looked pretty solid so far - big unit, reasonable turn of pace and fairly comfortable on the ball. Also able to hit a decent long clearance out to the flanks.

As for the result? Blades will settle down sooner or later into a top six team this season. As they're still in the settling process, fingers crossed we can sneak it, maybe 2-1 or 3-2...

As for the team, Keith Hill will have his own ideas of course but I'd select the following 4-1-4-1 formation:

Lillis
Rafferty - McGahey - Canavan - McNulty
Allen
Cannon - McDermott - Henderson - Mendez-Laing
Andrew

Subs: Logan, Tanser, Camps, Morley, Thompson, Bunney, Odelusi

Probably about 750 away fans, assuming SUFC/South Yorks plod make it pay on the day, like they normally do against the smaller, less offensive visitors...

Was confident until I saw the 100 percent record we have against them. Over the last few seasons we seem detemined to blow away every positive record we have, so I now expect a draw at best

 

[Kenilworth]

The bit that worries me is the 100% record of wins we have over them at Bramall Lane.
We've been in splendid form over the last few years in turning those sorts of stats on their head.

"he stood firm that he was innocent and after spending a wedding evening with him I truly believe he is"

So now he's a bigamist too!?

 

[Lord Eddard Muir]

"not looking forward to Matty Done playing against Jim McNulty on Saturday!!"

Isn't he Sparky's dad?

 

[coaxingstar71]

"A Wedding Evening"? - is that a euphemism?
What have you done now, Ched?

Don't think so. Used to be a drug cop in Baltimore.

Whatever you do keep it up, one of the best features on this forum, possibly the best thing...

[Leonardo Green]

Don't think he'll trouble us.

You resurrected zombie thread just to say that?

That's good forum housekeeping taken to the Nth degree, I must say.
