Options for Barker

Bury boss Richie Barker has no injury or suspension worries ahead of the derby clash with local rivals Rochdale in npower League One.

Giles Coke is expected to retain his place in the Shakers midfield ahead of Mark Carrington, despite a well-publicised on-field bust-up with captain Steven Schumacher during last weekend's 3-2 victory over Yeovil.

Coke, on loan at Gigg Lane from Sheffield Wednesday, won a first-half penalty, but then became embroiled in a furious row over who would take the spot kick with designated taker Schumacher before the pair were separated by team-mates and issued with yellow cards.

On-loan Southampton forward Ryan Doble is set to retain his starting place at the expense of David Amoo after impressing on his debut against the Glovers, as Bury look to avenge the 4-2 defeat they suffered at home to Rochdale in September.

John Coleman will take charge of his first game as Dale manager after being appointed as Steve Eyre's successor this week.
