Crewe Alexandra vs Rochdale - Seager ready to turn the page and make his home debut for Crewe

Forward Ryan Seager could make his home debut for Crewe in Saturday's Sky Bet League One clash with Rochdale.

Seager joined the Alex on loan from Southampton last Friday before coming off the bench in the 1-1 draw at Millwall 24 hours later.

Boss Steve Davis looks set to have the same squad to choose from as he did for that match, with Billy Bingham (hamstring), Harry Davis (knee), Ryan Wintle (foot), George Ray and Lauri Dalla Valle (both ankle) unavailable.

Second-bottom Crewe, currently six points adrift of safety, are looking to boost their survival bid by registering a first win since November on the back of three straight draws.

Rochdale boss Keith Hill has no new injury worries to contend with ahead of the trip to Gresty Road.

Hill is likely to name an unchanged side after Dale beat league leaders Burton 2-1 last week.

Hill hoped to strengthen his squad at the transfer deadline but it was not to be and he told DalePlayer: "We tried one or two things but they just didn't work out. The pleasing thing is we've retained the nucleus of our squad going into the final 19 games of the season."

Ahead of the trip to Crewe, Hill added: "We'll prepare well against the opposition, we always do. We'll spot weakness, we'll obviously look at strengths and we'll just go there with a game plan."
