Following Dales first win of the season on Tuesday night at home to fellow strugglers Grimsby Town, combined with the reported move of ex Everton striker Michael Branch to Spotland, things are finally looking up for Steve Parkins men.
Dale played like a team at the other end of the table for long periods against Grimsby and long may this continue! With a tough game to come on Saturday against promotion hopefuls Wycombe Wanderers, it will be an excellent test of Dales will, if we can come out with three points then who knows what the rest of the season could hold?
Although we have only three goals to our name so far in this league campaign our defensive record is second only to three other league two sides, all of which occupy one of the top four spots.
Things aren't as bad as some Dale fans would have you believe, mark my words.
UP THE DALE!
