Show Notes

ROCHDALE (H) | MATCH PREVIEW

Aaron, Si and Dave look ahead to Colchester United’s trip to newly-promoted Rochdale.

The lads discuss Danny Cowley’s selection decisions, whether the substitutes who impressed against Oldham should be rewarded with starts, how to get the best out of Bradley Ihionvien and whether the U’s still need to add an experienced number nine.

Attention then turns to a Rochdale side adjusting to life back in the EFL following their 107-point National League promotion campaign.

Aaron also speaks to Matthew Turner of the Pearl Street Post for the opposition view, before the panel finish with their score predictions.

🎶 Intro music by Sam Hopkins.
