ROCHDALE boss Steve Parkin is hoping to put an end to his side's nightmare start to the season as key players start to return.

Ricky Lambert and Mark Jackson are both now available after injury, and skipper Gary Jones not far behind them in his recovery.

Parkin said: "With Clive Moyo-Modise coming through on Tuesday and the good news regarding the injury situation, I now have the ability to change things.

"We do need more bodies, and we are trying very hard to bring people in but it is difficult."
