Match Preview
Potter banned for Megson bow Rochdale boss Keith Hill has no injury or suspension concerns for the home clash with Sheffield Wednesday. Two injury-time goals from substitutes Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro and Matty Done gave Hill's men a 3-1 home win over Bristol Rovers in midweek. Despite recent impressive performances in midfield, Josh Thompson was left out of the side to play Rovers and replaced with on-loan Barnsley striker Liam Dickinson, who lined up alongside Chris O'Grady in attack. Hill will keep any changes to a minimum following Tuesday's victory but has warned his side that teams will come to Spotland to stop his men playing. He said: "People have got to accept that it is going to be very difficult to break teams down." Wednesday midfielder Darren Potter will return to the squad following suspension in manager Gary Megson's first game in charge. Potter was sent off in the recent defeat at Peterborough and missed last Saturday's draw with MK Dons. Megson will be without winger Jermaine Johnson through illness but has no other new injury or suspension problems to contend with as the Owls look to secure their first league win in eight matches. Isaiah Osbourne, signed recently on loan from Aston Villa, could make his first appearance for Wednesday, while strikers Neil Mellor and Paul Heffernan are pushing for recalls after Clinton Morrison partnered Gary Madine up front last week. Midfielders Tommy Miller (hamstring) and Liam Palmer (ankle) plus defenders Lewis Buxton (hamstring) and Jon Otsemobor (calf) are all still out.

Match Report
Dale close in on play-offs Rochdale moved to within a point of the play-off positions with a 2-1 victory over Sheffield Wednesday at Spotland. Scott Wiseman's cross created a simple tap-in for Matt Done in the 15th minute and Daniel Jones' foul on Done 12 minutes later handed Rochdale a penalty, converted by skipper Gary Jones, while Wednesday replied through striker Gary Madine in the last minute. The result made it 10 games unbeaten for Keith Hill's men with the Owls falling to their first defeat under new boss Gary Megson. Wednesday had a couple of openings before the break, Clinton Morrison firing one wide and then failing to test Owain Fon Williams when through on goal. But Rochdale could have added to their tally with Done and Chris O'Grady going close before the interval. Wednesday's Giles Coke had a shot blocked on the line by Chris O'Grady minutes into the second half, while Lewis Buxton's cross found Gary Madine free in the area, but the Owls striker was unable to bring the ball under control. But Rochdale were relatively comfortable and could have had a third when Done drifted between two defenders on halfway to race through on goal, only for visiting goalkeeper Nicky Weaver getting the better of their one-on-one. Fon Williams got his fingertips to a fierce drive by Isiah Osbourne late on, but was powerless when Madine headed home Buxton's cross in the 90th minute.
