Rochdale game

[andyram]

Well pre season games are out of the way,hopefully we have 17 players ready for Sunday,maybe one or two from our new friends from Trinity.

Can this game already be called a relegation decider,maybe not.It will give us a idea of where we are in terms of bottom four or safety middle of the table.

Think the Hornets will string us:

Rochdale 24-18 Rams.

Impossible to call don't know if morrison is picking the team or chester is calling the shots...as we're on our backside for fit players

Losing is a habit and we're on a run of 4 defeats on the bounce...might even be more as I can't even remember the last few games of last season..so for me to call a score you've to pitch 2 in

One without Wakefields help

And

One without 

Rochdale 28 Dewsbury ram's 23

Or

Rochdale 22 Wakefield ram's 29

Games against newly promoted teams are always the worst option in my opinion; I would much rather we were pitched against "fancied" teams early on when there is more chance of an upset.

Rochdale will be well up for this and their players will be raring to go, proving how good they are against opposition in this league. If we are at anything less than our best we will be vulnerable to a hiding (cf Oldham away last season). In addition games between our two clubs have often been totally unpredictable and often quite exciting, for the neutral at least.

For once I will allow my heart to dominate my head and predict:

Rodhdale 26 - 32 Dewsbury

Yes PM, that's exactly what I said in my post.

Sorry BSJ just thinking about it again brought tears of joy to my eyes and I never read anything in brackets as Shakespeare never used them!

We'll try, nobody outside the club backing us to win, it's a tough game this because I think Rochdale will trouble a few teams this season.

Btw moorside roughyed I hope you stuff the gypsy's Sunday ??

[moorside roughyed]

I'd rather anyone win than Rochdale.

[Piggy's mate]

Rams by 10

Well the season starts proper today!!   Its going to be very interesting to see just how motivated the 4 Wakey lads will be!   If they are up for it we will win.. if they're not we will probably lose .......   but its great to have the season finally underway ..... some real game time to post about!!

Absolutely disgraceful, why put Wakefield players in they did nothing, couldn't burst their way out of a paper bag, very very poor.

Would like to say we can only get better but can't see it.

We need a good half back and somebody to lead the team the players we've got t the moment can't.

Didn't really expect our SL mates to put their bodies on the line. They will probably be automatic first team selections too. What we need is fringe players on extended loan, who at least will have a point to prove.

I think we should be gracious enough to accept Rochdale were the better side, end of. So well played Hornets, hope you have a good season.- not at our expense though.

How good were the Hornets and how bad were you?
