Aji Ajibola has shown 51 yellow cards and one red card in 12 games this season. The only previous Town game he has officiated was the FA Cup win at St Ives in October last year.

The two teams immediately outside the play-offs go head-to-head this afternoon - one of them could get a very nice early Christmas present in the shape of three points. I think Town will fancy their chances today thinking back to the reverse fixture at Spotland, where The Shaymen really did a number on Rochdale, won the tactical battle and came away with a superb victory. It might be a similar game to the Gateshead match, where the opposition have plenty of the ball but Town try to pick them off with pace and energy. Hopefully it's the same result.
