Dale play their first match since February 15th this Saturday, as we enter the final seven matches of the league season. Last time out, Dale edged out a nine-goal thriller to beat Walsall 5-4 including goals from Joe Akpan (2), Oscar Kelly, Somtobenna Chukwugbo and Kevin Dos Santos.
In the standings, Dale sit 15th having won six of 16 games so far but games in hand on teams above may prove pivotal with as many as three on Bradford City in eighth place. The young lads were free-scoring before the break, having netted 11 but also conceded 11 in their last three games.
This weekend’s visitors Accrington are 10th having played a game more but are four points ahead of Dale. Accy have played more recently having been beaten 5-1 by fourth-placed Preston North End last Saturday, having gone five games unbeaten up until a home defeat to Doncaster Rovers last month. This will be our first meeting of the campaign.
Supporters are free to attend this fixture, kick-off is at 11am;
📍Platt Lane Sports Complex, Yew Tree Rd, Fallowfield, Manchester M14 7UU
