New territory for Dale this weekend as we make the trip to Ipswich (last season's game there was post lockdown). Don't know much about them except
a) They used to be very good, but that finished 35 years ago
b) They seem to be in a Portsmouth/Blackpool/Coventry-esque decline for a few years, although they don't have the off-field shenanigans suffered by those three.
c) Gwion Edwards is a very good player and Kayden Jackson isn't too shabby.
We have three injuries, but those include our best defender and best forward, who are unlikely to be fit. We've signed a young forward (Jake Beesley) from non-league who may have to be thrown straight in. Possible Dale team:
Bazunu
McLaughlin-McShane-McNulty-Keohane
Morley-Ryan
Newby-Lund-Rathbone
Beesley or Done
Subs: Lynch, Dunne, Brierley , Dooley, Baah, Tavares, Beesley/Done
Result. I fancy us to nick it by the odd goal. For whatever reason, we used to beat Coventry and Rotherham more often than not. With those two up, Ipswich can take over the role... (Please!)
