AFTER their encouraging Easter Monday performance at promoted Hartlepool it's about turn as Rochdale entertain relegation-threatened Swansea.

Manager Paul Simpson is expecting a hard game, because Swansea are only one point clear of the bottom two and desperately need a win.

"Swansea are fighting literally for everything, and we need to go into it with enthusiasm and wanting to do well for our supporters and send them home smiling," he said.

With a growing injury list Simpson is unlikely to make changes, which means that teenagers Stephen Hill and Rory Patterson will retain their places in what is a very young side.

LAST SEASON: Rochdale 2 Swansea 0

KEY OPPONENT: Roberto Martinez - former Wigan playmaker who makes the Swans tick.
