Ahead of tomorrows Sky Bet League 1 game between Rochdale and Walsall we contacted Rochdale fan Jude to ask him a few questions about tomorrows opponents.
Name:
Jude
How long have you supported Rochdale?
4 years
What was your first game?
Rochdale vs Leeds in the FA Cup.
In the press this week Keith Hill called on fans to contact the chairman if they want him sacked as manager – what’s your take on it and do you believe Keith Hill is still the right man?
I think it was slightly heat of the moment, just after the game and losing 0-4, but I thought the comments were ridiculous and I was very unhappy with them, the things he picked up on were quite petty. I think he’s the only man for the job. There are times, such as the relegation battle of last season, where I wonder about a change, but then I think about everything he’s done for this club, and how things went when he left.
Both of us were in a relegation scrap last season do you think both teams will do better this season?
I haven’t really looked at your dealings or anything in all honesty, and seeing your results just after Keates took over last season I thought you’d be in for a tough one, but so far it appears the opposite. I’m not sure about us, a decent result at Burton and a lucky point at Fleetwood but absolutely hammered at home by 2 quality sides, I’m yet to make my verdict on us.
Are you happy with the clubs transfer dealings this summer?
Yes, I think so. Bringing a legend back is always nice, and from what I’ve seen in Pre-Season from the Irish lads, we’ve recruited well. Could still do with a striker and a full back mind you.
Who are your danger men?
I’d have to say Ian Henderson. An incredible first touch and a decent bit of pace.
If you could take one Walsall player to be in the Rochdale team who would you pick?
Don’t know much about your squad in all honesty, but going off what I’ve heard and seen, Morgan Ferrier. We need a pacy striker.
What type of Rochdale team can we expect on Saturday?
No clue to be honest. Been playing 5 at the back since the end of last season but after Tuesdays shambles, he may change it all.
What is your League 1 predictions for the season – top two, play offs and relegation.
- Portsmouth
- Barnsley
- Peterborough
- Sunderland
- Luton
- Southend
- Gillingham
- Accrington
- Blackpool
- Wycombe
Finally what is your prediction for Saturdays game?
1-3. Definitely fancy you lot, our confidence will be so low and your unbeaten so far, highly doubt we’ll be the ones ending that run.
Thanks to Jude for his insight into Rochdale and we wish them the best of luck for the season.
