Rochdale 2 - 1 Crewe (Wiseman,O'Brien)

Finally our first win! But it took a change of tactic and formation to do it, a much deserved 3 points :D

Notts 3 - 1 Rochdale

Another loss but against a team that didn't play much better despite the scoreline, shame Topp's not in great form atm :/



Rochdale 4 - 1 Dag and Red (Topp,Kennedy 2,Haworth)

Well, Bryn Halliwell can be a great keeper at times but he's made another mistake, Mark O'Brien gives him a perfectly good pass and he thumps it in his own net!! Much better performance, starting to hit some form aswell :)

Rochdale 2 - 2 Bradford (Topp,Kenned)

Don't you just hate it when you concede a 89th minute equaliser !! :(

Macc 0 - 1 Rochdale (Topp)

Defence looks solid and Topp's on form again so all's good again :)

Played as well as we have done all season, the loanees have been brilliant, we need to win as much as we can while there still here.

Also: Frenchman Frank Moutinga will join Rochdale at the end of the season

Shrewsbury 1 - 1 Rochdale (Kennedy)

A fair point which both teams deserved, but it took a great free kick from Francis Murphy to ****** a point for the shrews.

Rochdale 3 - 1 Accrington (Towell, Jones 2)

We never looked like we were gonna lose, Jones got back on the score sheet and we look to be closing in on Bury as Notts have now gone 30 games unbeaten :O

Rochdale 1 - 0 Grimsby (Topp)

We did deserve it, just a shame we couldn't add more.

End Of Month
​



 
Chesterfield 1 - 3 Rochdale (Buckley, Topp, Haworth)

In a game where we clinched a play-off spot, we totally dominated with 3 great goals so we maintain are unbeaten record . :)

Rochdale 1 - 1 Bournemouth (Topp)

***** Topp :wub:

Torquay 0 - 2 Rochdale (Topp, Dawson)

Another comfortable win as we extend our stay in the automatic promotion places .

Rochdale 2 - 0 Darlo (Topp 2)

In every team you need a qualit striker who needs the net is and we have that which showed again - ***** Topp won us the game AGAIN!

Northampton 0 - 1 Rochdale (Topp obv)

Another solid win with the obvious scorer and Topp's 39th goal.



Hereford 1 - 1 Rochdale (Kennedy)

A game I would have liked to have kept the pressure on Notts but hey ho . . .

Rochdale 1 - 1 Burton (Towell)

We had enough opporttunities to win but at least we're promoted.

SEASON UNDERWAY UPDATES MONTHLY AGAIN​

 
Rochdale 0 - 2 Millwall

Two teams that have totally different expectations and in what was an even game, Craig Eastmond gave away a peno then responded by thumping the bar with a free-kick.

League Cup
Carlisle 2 - 4 Rochdale (Topp, Buckley, Misfud 2)

A game we deserved too win but it's a shame it wasn't the league. Just hoping it can continue into the league . .


Rochdale 1 - 2 Blackpool (Kilbey)

We played really well but didn't take our chances at all, but if we play like that all season we'll have a succesful season..

Cardiff (league one :O) 3 - 2 Rochdale (Mifsud,Topp)

Playing 3 promotion contenders in a row is never gonna be easy but we put in a battling performance after coming from 2 down, that win is comin :)

Rochdale 5 - 1 Brighton (Topp 4, Mifsud)

That was definiatley coming, ***** Topp is finding his form from last season and I hope he continues it :)

West Ham 5 - 2 Rochdale (Moutingou, Mifsud)

Pleased we scored 2, we played half decent in first half but there simply a better team so no complaints . .

Walsall 0 - 1 Rochdale (Topp)

2 wins in 2 now from the league and we look like a much better team with a
4-1-2-1-2 formation.

Rochdale 2 - 4 Colchester (Murphy,Buckley)

After goin 2 - 0 up in the first half, they came out and scored 4, they look a team who want promotion.

Rochdale 1 - 3 Norwich (Mifsud)

In every game so far we've played promotion contenders and we've put in good performances in all of them

Carlisle 2 - 0 Rochdale

Dissapointing performance, we got what we deserved . .

Shrewsbury 4 - 4 Rochdale (Topp 2, Mifsud, Buckley)

4 - 2 up and they score 2 in injury time. My keeper is - wank! he's goin!!

Rochdale 0 - 0 Southend

A good performance, kept possesion really well . . .

JPT
Oldham 0 - 1 Rochdale (Mifsud)
Why do we play our best in the cups! Brilliant performance!

League 1

Rochdale 2 - 1 Oldham (Buckley 2)

Starting to play much better, were keeping the ball much better aswell :)

Bristol Rovers 4 - 2 Rochdale (Topp, OG)

We were 3 - 1 down at HT and we pull a goal back and my fudgin keeper comes out for a corner and they score... HE'S *****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE'S GETTIN DROPPED!!!!!!


Rochdale 1- 2 Stockport (Norwood)

We found it too hard too break down a 5 man midfield and couldn't hold on to a 1 - 0 lead, still I'm confident we'll break into the top half at the end of the season

Notts 1 - 1 Rochdale (Kuffour)

Another lead we gave away but another good performance just need to turn them into goals..

FA CUP

Exeter 1 - 1 Rochdale (Mifsud)

Another game where we didn't take our chances, hopefully we get through in the second leg , ,

JPT

Lincoln 1 - 1 Rochdale (Qtr Final)
(Lincoln win 5-4 on pens)

Shame we didn't make it through to semi's but least we can concentrate on league now . .

Surprisingly I still believe we can make a top half finish but when we lost Franck Matingou to injury was a huge loss
