ROCHDALE travel to Hereford looking to grab their first league points of the season at one of Keith Hill's bogey grounds.

The Spotland boss said: "I found it difficult there as a player and I'm sure it will be as a manager. Hereford have made an excellent start and have some very good young players, but we are well prepared, go into the game full of optimism and fully expect to register our first result. We go into every game looking to win."

With injury headaches in his back four, Hill has moved quickly by bringing in much travelled warhorse Guy Branston on a two-month loan deal from Peterborough United.

He goes straight into the squad, but there are still doubts over Nathan Stanton and Nathan D'Laryea.

John Doolan should come back into the side after his three-game suspension.

Last season: Hereford 0 Rochdale 0

Key opponent: Lionel Ainsworth - Young striker already has a hat-trick to his name this season

Prediction: Hereford 1 Rochdale 1 - A win for Dale is a big ask but they could return home with a point
