ROCHDALE boss Alan Buckley will have to make enforced changes to the side that returned to winning ways last Saturday against Northampton at Spotland tomorrow.

Winger Leo Bertos is away on international duty with New Zealand whilst defender Daryl Burgess and striker Lee McEvilly are banned.

Simon Grand will come in for Burgess whilst either Matt Doughty or fit again Patrick McCourt will start in place of Bertos.

Despite their summer spending spree the visitors have made a bad start and manager Martin Wilkinson paid the price two weeks ago.

Without, as yet, a replacement in the hot seat the Cobblers were beaten 5-1 at home last weekend by Hull City so Dale must fancy their chances of a second successive victory.

LAST SEASON: Different divisions

KEY OPPONENT: Former Oldham winger Josh Low who certainly knows where the goals are.

PREDICTION: Rochdale 2 Northampton 1.
