Rochdale AFC – September News Round Up

September is over, and although we’ve firmly said goodbye to the summer sunshine, we’re saying a very welcome hello to some positive results from the Dale!

Southend United 0-0 Rochdale

Rochdale 0-3 Blackburn Rovers

Rochdale 2-1 Doncaster Rovers

MK Dons 3-2 Rochdale

Bury 0-4 Rochdale

Rochdale 3-0 Gillingham

Blackpool 0-0 Rochdale

AFC Wimbledon 0-0 Rochdale

As you can see, September saw Rochdale make a huge improvement on the disappointing start August had to offer.

Not only were we treated to three wins, one of those included a 4-0 away win against historic rivals Bury.

Results don’t really get much better than that!

This leaves the Dale in 17th place in the League One table. With the rest of the season to go, there’s still plenty of time to crawl up to the league’s upper echelons.

Off the pitch…

Daniel Adshead breaks the record for youngest Dale debut ever

This month’s match against Bury marked a very special occasion for the Dale – and it wasn’t just the intense derby atmosphere.

Daniel Adshead, at 16 years and 17 days of age, made his debut as the youngest ever Rochdale player – talk about history in the making.!

The youngster played the full 90 minutes and helped carry the team through to a 4-0 win against their derby rivals.

If this debut is anything to go by, Adshead’s future at Rochdale is going to be very bright indeed.

Jordan Slew joins the squad

Jordan Slew signs for Rochdale AFC

25-year-old Jordan Slew has signed a short-term contract to play with Rochdale until January.

The talented centre-forward started his career at Sheffield United before moving on to stints at Blackburn, Cambridge and Plymouth Argyle.

The man himself had this to say about the club:

“The Gaffer here won’t accept anything less than your whole best every day in training. It’s a hard-working club, and that’s what I need. I’m just looking forward to getting started – it’s time to get my head down and do the business.”

We’re certainly looking forward to seeing him work his magic at the Crown Oil Arena.

Until next time…

We’ll be back this time next month to round up everything Dale in October.

Let’s hope the lads manage to continue this streak of success!
