Rochdale, Recent FormThis Rochdale side will be full of confidence going into this match against Colchester United, having recorded a 2-1 away win against Bradford City in their last league match.
Jim Bentley, their chief, will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 12 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 8 goals scored. With goals notched up in 5 of their past 6 matches, they are certainly showing some goal-scoring consistency of late. Keeping a clean sheet at home has not come easy this season, and Bentley will not be happy with his team's defensive record, which shows they have shipped one or more goals in 11 their 17 home matches.
They've had a terrible run of form at Crown Oil Arena recently and having lost 4 of their last 6 home games managing just 1 win.

They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games. They have shown some defensive frailties on the road of late, having given away at least 1 goal in 12 of their past 13 away league matches, making points very hard to come by.
They're experiencing a relativley poor spell of form on the road, having lost 4 of their last 6 away games despite notching up a couple of wins. The've not managed to settle at all away from home this season, losing 10 of their 13 league games on the road.
