Rochdale and Tranmere Rovers are separated by 15 places, 15 points, 44 miles and deeply contrasting opinions on Keith Hill; the Dale, though, have arguably played the more enterprising football this season than their visitors from the Wirral. Why, then, is there such a gulf between the two sides? Rovers possess the more experienced, reliable figures in all departments, on and off the field, whereas the hosts are very much finding their way in a season of transition. Tranmere have boosted their promotion hopes further by a statement signing of Burton striker Kane Hemmings, while Rochdale have lost their own striker in top goalscorer Jake Beesley. 2:0
