Rochdale (A) League - Saturday 05/08/2006

[TofDover]

0-3 to the saddlers not bothered who scores

[Jorge14]

1-0 defeat...Giving us a kick up the backside in the process. An early unexpected defeat could be a blessing in disguise.

Just under a thousand Saddlers there...

Also, one fact worth considering is that Reading lost their opening game last season. They then went unbeaten for a very long time. :wink:

[Ulster Saddler]

We all get excited about the opening game etc - but for the last 3 years we have won our opening games and I would not like seasons like those again.

I go for a 1-1 draw but more importantly looking for a good performance where the team look like they know what is expected of them (i.e. totally opposite to England in the world cup)

I agree in that we should be looking at a good performance, but I don't think it's possible for us to see a good performance and a draw on Saturday. If we play to our potential, we should have too much quality for Rochdale.

[Geordiesaddler]

My feeling is that playing the club with allegedly the smallest squad, and the lowest playing budget in the league. Also traditional slow starters whose pre-season has been injury hit - a team with genuine ambitions of promotion should take 3 points at Spotland.....However, as I've said before stopping the rot is a massive task and it might not start to happen until a few games, or even months into the new season. That won't stop us getting at least a play-off place come May I'm sure of that, but promotion won't be won or lost come Saturday no matter what happens.
I wouldn't be surprised to see us make a mediocre start and then come good with a run later in the season, saying that it would be great to get off to a flyer and just leave the opposition standing like we did after the Graydon relegation.
