Prior to Dale's excellent draw at Millwall the Youth Team also had a great result, a 2-0 victory over Wigan Athletic in the North West Youth Alliance League. I believe Wigan had won their last 11 League games and had a chance to take a first half lead, when they were awarded a penalty, but from the resultant spot kick Dale's keeper, Brad Wade, made a strong save to his left to keep the scores level at half time. In the second half, Rochdale had the wind on their backs (at Stalybridge Celtic's Bower Fold) and were the side who looked more likely to break the deadlock, creating several good opportunities. The pressure was rewarded with two quality strikes from Fabio Tavares and Neil Kuemo. Wigan's lead at the top of the League has been trimmed from 8 points to 5 points (and Dale have two games in hand) which should make for an entertaining run in.

Fabio Tavares and Neil Kuemo? We seem to frequently have a lot of exotic-sounding players in our academy. Speaking frankly, and as someone with an ignorance of how academy systems work, how do these players end up with us? Is it testament to Rochdale's melting pot of a society? Or do we genuinely scout kids from abroad/further afield and bring them to Rochdale?

Not in a position to give you an in depth answer but as far as I am aware they are both from the Greater Manchester area. If you look through the team sheet on Twitter, there are a lot of 'exotic' names but a lot of them are local lads. Their parents and grandparents may originally have been from other areas though.

Well it just goes to show that Rochdale AFC is a lot more than the team that plays in Championship 1. The club must be good attracting some good kids and that`s all down to Hilly and his vision for the future of the club. Ok,this season might be disappointing so far,but the foundations are there for some bright seasons to come.
