Following our deserved victory on Saturday, I thought it would be good to get this thread going early.
Rochdale are in decent form and are scoring a fair number of goals. They still have a number of good players from their League One days, including Stephen Dooley, Jimmy Keohane, Matt Done, Jim McNulty, and last week's goal hero, Jake Beesley, and will be tough opponents.
I am pretty sure Micky will stick with five at the back, given the recent goalscoring form of our opponents. However, I think there will be changes further forward, and I would not be surprised if we start with the team that ended Saturday's game:
Murphy
Cogley Davies Clarke NKP Morris
Spearing Watson
Hawkes
Nevitt McManaman
Perhaps Maynard will start in place of McManaman, but I am pretty sure Hawkes will be selected.
There will be a big Rovers following of 1,000 plus at Spotland and a draw would probably be a reasonable result. However, we will hopefully see more of the invention and attacking intent that was evident in the last twenty minutes on Saturday.
