92-goal hero Henderson wants Dale home victory

- FOOTBALL By SHELDAN KEAY @MENSports

ROCHDALE return to the Crown Oil Arena tonight as they take on Barnsley in a League One clash.

Keith Hill’s side head into the match on the back of a 2-2 draw at Fleetwood Town on Saturday, with Ian Henderson getting both goals for Rochdale to move up to jointthird in the club’s all-time leading goalscorer­s.

Henderson now hopes the team can get their first home victory of the campaign.

“We’ve just got to play our own game and implement what the manager and the staff want us to do, as we try and get our first three home points of the season,” he said.

“It’s an honour to be recognised as the joint third top goal scorer in Rochdale’s history, with 92 goals scored and there’s many more to come.”

In League Two, BURY will try to return to winning ways when they make the trip to Lincoln City. It’s been a frustratin­g week for the Shakers, with the team suffering defeats to MK Dons and Nottingham Forest, before drawing 1-1 at home to Forest Green on Saturday.

OLDHAM ATHLETIC have an away game too as they take on Yeovil Town. Latics are in 12th place in the League Two table after picking up four points from their three games so far, while Yeovil are just a place above them.

MACCLESFIE­LD TOWN are at the Moss Rose as they face Cheltenham Town. The Silkmen are yet to pick up any points this season and were most recently beaten 3-1 at Oldham on Saturday.
