Rochdale boss Keith Hill set to ring the changes for Swindon visit

Rochdale boss Keith Hill has confirmed he will make changes for the home game against Swindon.

Dale's play-off hopes were all but dashed following last week's 4-1 defeat at Port Vale and Hill has promised to take a look at other players despite having no new injury or suspension worries.

That could mean the likes of Calvin Andrew, fit again after a long-term foot problem, fellow forward Ian Henderson and Grant Holt could return to the starting line-up.

Defender Niall Canavan (groin) and midfielder Matthew Lund (thigh) remain sidelined.

Swindon head to Lancashire with speculation continuing about the County Ground futures of key players Nicky Ajose and Yaser Kasim.

Forward Ajose, Swindon's top scorer this season, and midfielder Kasim are both set to be involved against Rochdale, although Town boss Luke Williams has admitted they could be heading to pastures new next term, with their performances attracting many admirers.

After making certain of their League One status by beating Chesterfield last weekend, Williams could make changes for the trip north.

And that might mean opportunities for the likes of Drissa Traore, Brandon Ormonde-Ottewill and Jeremy Balmy. They are all available again after being suspended by the club earlier this month following a video that appeared on social media, allegedly showing them inhaling laughing gas, although Williams did not call on them against Chesterfield.
