Five things we learned from Bolton Wanderers v Rochdale

Dale’s goal drought

Rochdale have now played five games in all competitions without scoring a goal. Concerning form that has seen them drop three-points off the play-offs.

Dale last found the net in a defeat at Southend United back in January, thanks to Calvin Andrew’s strike at Roots Hall.

Since then, they have gone on a drought which has derailed their campaign, falling out of the play-off positions in the process.

Even though they stood firm for 82 minutes, Hill’s side rarely threatened to breach Bolton, and were restricted to few clear-cut efforts on goal, on what was another frustrating night.
