Ross Wilson - scored his second goal of the season
There always seem to be goals in Rochdale's games and Saturday's was no exception as they beat Bury 5-2. That gives them 20 goals in six games this season with a total of 32 scored in those games, including our 2-2 draw against them.

'Dale's win allowed them to go second on a day when just four games were played. They are now just a point behind leaders Blackpool. The two sides have met this season with Blackpool coming out on top and the leaders do have two games in hand and still have a hundred percent record this season.

Our win has seen us climb into fifth place, from tenth this time last week. We are the second highest scorers with 16 in five games, but 11 of those games have come in our two wins.

On a day of just four games when the only other winners were Oldham. They followed up their win against Burnley last week by beating Carlisle at home to go fourth in the table.

The remaining games between Accrington and Morecambe ended in a draw.

There is a full fixture list this coming weekend in the Youth Alliance League. Burnley entertain Bury and the club with no fixture is Carlisle United. Those fixtures, along with Saturday's results and the Burnley goalscorers this season are shown below.
