AFTER an unsuccessful week in the transfer market, Rochdale boss Steve Parkin will once again have "to go with what I've got" at Chester.

His search for a striker has intensified with Grant Holt banned for two games and teenager Tai Atieno due to end his three-month loan spell after the game.

Goalkeeper Matt Gilks is struggling with a hamstring, and captain Gary Jones with a groin injury but Parkin is hoping that the pair will be available.

The only expected change to the side that drew against Mansfield last weekend will see either Atieno or Leighton McGivern drafted in.
