Llorente has won a WC and played in a CL final. That will scare the brick out of any lower league defender, no matter how big they are
You'd think, but didn't really work against Newport or Wimbledon.

He likely be on bench, bring him on after 60 minutes if conditions seem right and let him add a few to his tally.
Any insight, from anyone, into Rochdale's team?
From the look of their pitch they're not in the habit of keeping it on the ground.Any insight, from anyone, into Rochdale's team?

The last month has confirmed to me that football is massively about motivation. Motivation has a huuuuuge part to play in any game.
If both teams are motivated it can come down to talent and confidence and tactics... but you need to be motivated first and foremost. To win challenges, to run the extra mile, to take on the extra responsibility.
That is why Spurs and other teams can all slip up and struggle one week and then up their game and play like champions the next.
So regardless of all this chat about the pitch and rotation and Llorente, for me it is largely about whether the players really go for it, or not. And we won't know that until five minutes in.
Big Kev the left back is apparently a decent plasterer. And Baz the keeper needs 3 tinnies before kick-off to calm his shakes.

I found this photo from their last home game

I think the roller kept bouncingit looks like a rug, doesn't look flat at all, also look how high it is compared to the hoardings, looks like they have just rolled it out on top of the old one without levelling first

Our pitch use to look like Margate beach in the 70's and Derby's was worse. It's a disgrace that a pitch should get like that with todays ground technology and the fa should be doing something to ensure clubs look after their pitches, its not good enough to blame the bad weather its Rochdale what weather do they expect.Infinitely better than that sand pit they played in against Millwall though!
