Author's Notes
Champions League is on the horizon for Rochdale, but my primary target this season is to win the Capital One Cup or the FA Cup. Let's do this!
Great signing in Pjanic!
Good luck in the Champions League Qualifier, Rubin are a decent team but I am sure you will win

A great start to the season with a narrow defeat against our old rivals Nottingham Forest who have been on our nerves since a few seasons ago.

We were clear underdogs in this match as is was away from home, but my new formation (4-2-3-1) completely baffled them and we came back with a victory that almost ensured we would go into the Champions League this season.

This match reminded us what the BPL is all about, and it's fair to say that it brought us back to earth. A 2-0 defeat isn't what we really needed right now, but it can only get better from here.

This is it, we're finally into Europe! It's been a long time since I joined and I think I've worked miracles here at Rochdale... Champions League, here we come!

Player of the Month
The PoTM award goes to Justin Schmidt, who also won the Barclays Premier League Young Player of the Month award for August. He's played superbly in the two Premier League matches this season and let's hope he stays with us for long as Dortmund are very interested in signing him... but they'll have to meet our £35m valuation of the player if they want to talk to him.
Here are the fixtures for next month:
