Team News
Who is out?
Dale:- Simon Ramsdens calf injury sustained at Accrington Stanley keeps him out.Tom Kennedy picked up a minor groin problem in midweek but isn't rated as doubtful.Mark Jones and Jon Shaw have both made excellent progress with their hamstring problems and may be in contention.Other than that with so many players coming into the JPT game against Carlisle and staking real claims manager Keith Hill finds himself with the nicest of selection headaches

Lincoln City:- Veteran defender Frank Sinclair (below)missed out on last weekends first away win of the season due to injury and midfielder Lee Frecklington had to be withdrawn at half time in that game due to a shoulder injury.Midfielder Stefan Oakes came through a midweek return to action in the Reserve team game following a spell on the treatment table and may be back in contention.
