Rochdale vs Coventry preview - Hill keeps faith after home comfort

Posted Friday, September 19, 2014 by PA

Rochdale manager Keith Hill could name an unchanged starting line-up for the home game against Coventry.

Hill has no new injury or suspension worries as Dale look to build on Tuesday night's 4-0 rout of Walsall, which was their first home league win of the season.

Goalkeeper Josh Lillis (ankle), midfielder Matthew Lund (shoulder) and striker Jack Muldoon (groin) all remain sidelined.

Centre-half Olly Lancashire is pushing for a recall to the starting line-up following a groin injury, but may have to be patient as Dale have kept three clean sheets in their last four matches.

Frank Nouble and Simeon Jackson will spearhead Coventry's attack with Josh McQuoid and Shaun Miller major doubts.

Reda Johnson is also out of the trip to Spotland as he starts the first of a three-match ban.

Striker McQuoid has concussion which kept him out of Tuesday's 2-1 defeat at Scunthorpe while Miller has an ankle injury.

Boss Steven Pressley told the Coventry Telegraph: "We have a fresh concern with Shaun who had to pull out of training today with a slight concern with his ankle and we'll assess him tomorrow."
