BIG MONEY MAN: Stockport splashed out £800,000 to sign striker Ian Moore from Nottingham Forest in July 1998. Burnley and Preston have since tried to lure him away but the powerful frontman is holding out for a move into the Premiership.

LAST SIX RESULTS: Nottingham F (h) lost 2-1 (Edwards og); Sheffield United (a) lost 1-0; Bolton (h) won 4-3 (Tod, Wiss, Moore, Wilbraham); Birmingham (a) lost 4-0; Burnley (a) lost 2-1 (Tod); Portsmouth (h) drew 1-1 (Cooper)

THIS SEASON SO FAR: County have continued where they left off last season, winning just two games so far to leave them anchored in the bottom three

MANAGER: Andy Kilner is finding out just how tough life can be as a manager with no money. County's former Youth team coach made a flying start to his managerial career last summer. But since the New Year, he has overseen just four wins in 10 months

TOP SCORER: County have struggled in the goalscoring department, averaging barely a goal-a-game all season. That ratio would have been far worse had it not been for Ian Moore who has scored seven in the league and one in the Worthington Cup

PREDICTED LINE-UP: As a former winger, County boss Andy Kilner is a big fan of two wide-men in a 4-4-2 system. Kent Bergersen will play on the left after returning from a loan spell in Norway. And Kevin Cooper is likely to be used in a similar capacity on the opposite flank

ONE TO WATCH: Experienced centre back Mike Flynn is set for a big role at Ewood tomorrow. County's hopes of coming away with a result will hinge on how Flynn and Co handle Rovers duo Mark Hughes and Egil Ostenstad

DID YOU KNOW? County created an unwanted club record last season when they went 19 league games without a win. That was the club's longest winless sequence in their 117-year history.
