Match Preview
No worries for Coleman John Coleman has no new injury worries as he hopes to take charge of Rochdale for the second time against Notts County. Coleman got off to a flying start with a 3-0 derby victory over Bury a fortnight ago, but was left frustrated when last weekend's trip to face npower League One leaders Charlton fell foul of the weather. The Spotland pitch will have to sustain another bout of sub-zero temperatures ahead of the game with County, where Michael Symes and Paul McCallum are available to make their debuts in attack having moved from Bournemouth and West Ham respectively before the January transfer window closed. Defender Marc Twaddle has returned to full training following a lengthy absence with a hamstring injury, leaving only Simon Hackney on the sidelines with his long-term abdominal injury. Cristian Montano will go straight into the Notts County squad after returning to the club on loan. Montano rejoined Notts from West Ham on Wednesday after impressing during a two-month stint at Meadow Lane earlier this season in which he scored four goals in 12 games for Martin Allen's side. The 20-year-old Colombian told the club's official website: "I can't wait to play for Notts again. The manager was great with me when I was here at the start of the season and the supporters were amazing. "I'm happy to be here again. Notts is like a family to me. Hopefully I can score more goals now I'm back and prove I am a better player now." The postponement of last weekend's home fixture against Stevenage has given leading scorer Jeff Hughes more time to recover from the knock that ruled him out against Walsall 10 days ago.
