ROCHDALE face the tough trip to the Vetch Field tomorrow needing to improve on their awful away form since the return of Steve Parkin.

They are sitting just three points above the relegation places, but boss Parkin received a boost with the midweek news that skipper Gary Jones will not be serving a one-match ban.

It follows a change of mind by the referee over his yellow card at Northampton.

Jones's midfield partner, Sean McClare, is also available after sitting out last Saturday's dismal draw against Cheltenham.

After setting the early pace, Brian Flynn's Swans have slipped out of the promotion race but a midweek win has rekindled their play-off hopes.

LAST SEASON: Swansea 1 Dale 1

KEY OPPONENT: Lee Trundle - portly, but has "weighed in" with goals.
