[ 25 Jan 20 ] Rochdale v GILLS Match Thread
Posted: Sat Jan 18, 2020 9:11 pm - It is incredibly even results-wise between the sides. Both Rochdale and the Gills have won 16 of their meetings and 17 have ended level. Both sides have won 3 of their last 8 meetings.
- Despite the even nature of results between the sides, it has been far from even at Rochdale. The Gills last won there in May 2009 - 4 draws followed then, most recently, 3 defeats (1-4, 0-3, 0-3).
- If league and cup games all scored the same points, the Gills would have dropped 13 points from winning positions this season. Rochdale have dropped a whopping 12 points from their last 9 games, losing 4 games they were winning.
- Rochdale ended a sequence of 8 league losses out of 9 games (which included 5 consecutive defeats) by beating Accrington and Bolton. That mini run was ended last weekend with a loss at Wycombe.
- Rochdale's 2-0 home win over Bolton ended a sequence of 4 home defeats which saw 9 goals conceded. Their 12 home league matches have produced 3 wins and 6 defeats.

The Gills line up with new signing John Akinde who is starting only his 9th game this season, his 4th in League 1. He has scored 4 goals in those 8 starts with a further 4 goals coming from 20 substitute appearances.
