Rochdale form and stats
With 1 League One win, 6 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Rochdale, who have the most conceded goals (55) in League One, are certainly not brimming with confidence. With twelve home League One games in a row without a win, the Rochdale fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Fleetwood Town game long ago, can be stopped today. Rochdale has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager B. Barry-Murphy and the players.
