ROCHDALE make the long journey to Barnet tomorrow with manager Steve Parkin seeking consistency from his side, writes MIKE BROOKES

Though they have won their last three home games those victories have sandwiched successive away defeats.

The Dale boss has selection problems in his engine room with Neil Brisco dislocating his shoulder in midweek and joining Ernie Cooksey (foot) and Lee Cartwright (ankle) on the injured list.

After a bright start to life back in the Football League Barnet had slipped of late but were buoyed by a midweek Carling Cup win over Plymouth.

LAST SEASON: Different divisions.

KEY OPPONENT: Giuliano Grazioli - the leading scorer in last season's Conference.
