ROCHDALE entertain Darlington at Spotland tomorrow buoyed by their Bank Holiday win at Torquay and on the back of an unbeaten run of three league games.

Despite having a man sent off in each of their last two matches, Dale have picked up four points and scored five goals.

Manager Alan Buckley is looking for further improvement against Darlington who, after three straight losses themselves, picked up their first win on Monday.

"There is no such thing as an easy game, and even if there was we'd find some way of making life difficult for ourselves," Buckley said.

"Maybe one day soon we can be involved in a straightforward game."

Buckley's only injury concern is Gareth Griffiths, who has been out since pre-season with back problems.

Buckley is unlikely to make changes to the side that did so well at Torquay.
