ROCHDALE boss Keith Hill says his players desperate to return to action against Notts County after last weekend's postponement.

Dale's game against Swindon last Saturday was called off because of a frozen pitch.

"The players were disappointed that last Saturday's game was called off and they are chomping at the bit to get back into action," Hill said.

"There is a real feel-good factor about the place and we want to continue that. Every game between now and the end of the season will be treated like a cup final."

With Kelvin Etuhu having returned to Manchester City at the end of his loan spell, Hill's latest recruit - former Manchester United junior Ben Muirhead - is likely to be the only change to the side that drew at league leaders Walsall last time out.

With the exception of leading scorer Chris Dagnall and his broken foot, Hill has a fully fit squad to choose from as he looks to continue his side's move away from the relegation zone.

Last season: Notts County 1 Rochdale 1

Key opponent: Jason Lee - He's had more clubs than most golfers but he's still banging them in for the Magpies

Prediction: Notts County 1 Rochdale 1 - County are erratic at home but If Dale can keep their defensive concentration they can come away with a reward
