Rochdale travel to take on table toppers Charlton Athletic for yet another mid-week game down at the Valley. Charlton come off the back of a 1-1 draw at the weekend against Tranmere (5th 1-1 draw in a row between the sides) whilst Rochdale beat Bournemouth 1-0 at home courtesy of a 90 minute penalty by skipper Gary Jones.
When the two sides met earlier in the season Charlton won a closely contested game 3-2. Charlton led the game 2-0 at the break with goals from Hollands and Wiggins. This 2-0 lead did not last long and as the hour struck Rochdale made the game level with goals from Grimes and Ball. This had Charlton on the ropes, they needed to keep their heads up and keep playing theirs and not Rochdale's game, with 10 minutes to go Charlton got their reward for not caving in when Danny Hollands rose to score a Header from a freekick and Charlton's winner.
While Charlton are enjoying a very Successful season and look destined for promotion after amassing 68 points from 30 games, the complete opposite can be said for Rochdale who seem to have second season syndrome and are battling it out with the likes of Chesterfield, Wycombe, Walsall and S***thorpe to try and stay in this division. This being the case they have only gained 27 points from their 30 games
Charlton's Home Record - W9 D5 L0 GF30 GA10 PTS 32
Rochdale's Away Record - W2 D3 L10 GF10 GA28 PTS 9

A must win game for me, we can't afford anymore slip ups at home like against Bury. Our lead at the top has been cut to 6 points and we still have to difficult away days left! However the major gap is between us and 3rd. A win tomorrow night would see us 14 points clear of third place with a game in hand! Promotion is within our grasp now and i can't help but love every minute of it.
