BUOYED by their win over Walsall and a much improved performance, the Mariners travel to Spotland to take on a Rochdale side who have struggled so far this season.

Town can only improve on their last three away performances, where they have lost every game and are yet to score. Rochdale in comparison also have a miserable recent record, having lost their last 4 games 0-1.
The rot has continued this season as Steve Parkin's team are currently lying in 23rd place, and have only picked up 3 points from a possible 21.
In midfield John Doolan joined Rochdale from League One outfit Blackpool in January. The Liverpool-born player has played every game this season, getting on the score sheet in the 3-2 defeat at Doncaster Rovers in The Carling Cup. Gary Jones signed from Barnsley in 2004 on a free transfer and he has scored one goal this season against Hereford from the penalty spot.
French striker Morike Sako made the long trip from Torquay in the summer but has yet to find the net this season.
