Mets caught up with Dean from RochdaleAFC.com to look ahead to Saturdays game at the Crown Oil Arena.

Rovers come into this game off the back of a 3-1 loss against Hull on Tuesday night. Despite going 1-0 up after all of 2 minutes on the clock through James Daly, Rovers conceded 3 in the second half. Unusually all three players who came on in a triple substitution got on the scoresheet. This included former Rovers man Tom Eaves.

Rochdale battled back twice to secure a 2-2 draw with Sunderland on Tuesday night at home. Both goals coming from the returning Matty Lund. 

Dean talks about the system manager Brian Barry-Murphy has deployed this season which has seen them sit in mid-table after 9 games.

He talks about the ins and outs for Dale this summer. Most notably Ian Henderson out and Matty Lund in and how this has precipitated a change in style for Dale.

Both give their match predictions and for once a Dale fan is optimistic!
