A nice win for Rochdale last time playing, versus Rotherham United. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-1 with Ian Henderson (2) and Matthew Lund scoring for the victors. Prior to that, an away loss at Portsmouth.

Robert Sanchez loved the game against Rotherham United. With a stunning six saves the goalkeeper played a huge part in the 3-1 victory.
