Probably because our bench tonight will have plenty of young lads making the squad numbers up.

Our bench will be full of under 23s tonight that will be why we’ve had to play the kids in this game

Any ideas on the trialist?

I wonder if it's the lad from tadcaster?

Looking at the match report from CGJ there was not a trialist playing.

Absolutely Hound (and Dickos), was more pointing it out to explain why we might have lost 3-0.

Post by: Highland Rover on January 08, 2020, 07:54:19 am: Completely outplayed by a good Rochdale team who had a core of very good young players , one I believe to have featured in their first team recently .
Matty played one half and looked to be close to his normal form , Horton looked solid at left back but missed early chances certainly didn't help
