We travel to the Crown Oil Arena (Spotland) in the fifth round of the FA Cup on Sunday (4pm), just days after producing one of our most memorable European performances to come from 2-0 down to take a 2-2 draw against Juve in the Champions League Round of 16 first leg in Turin.
Sunday’s tie represents our first match against Rochdale, currently at the foot of League One, and Mauricio spoke about the players ‘reconnecting’ again after this week’s UCL efforts.
“It’s not easy to reconnect again after you play a massive game like Juventus, or the derby against Arsenal,” he said.
