YORK City Knights boss James Ford is poised to make only two changes to his starting 13 for tomorrow night's key clash against play-off rivals North Wales Crusaders.

Young Adam Dent will return to the wing at Elmpark Way (7.30pm) in place of Jamel Chisholm, with Ford choosing security over lightning speed, while Liam Cunningham is back at centre, with Tyler Craig ruled out by injury picked up in Sunday's battling win at London Skolars.

In another changes, barnstorming prop Colton Roche returns to the bench after his weekend rest, while Micky Learmonth is also in the 19-man squad and could feature, too, with Ford leaving it late to decide his replacements for what has been dubbed the club's biggest game of the year.

Academy product Dent, younger brother of team-mate Ben, has played only four times this season and only six in all for the first team, while his appearance on the wing against Coventry at the start of this month was his only outing since mid-May. But he has scored five tries in those six games and Ford also reckons he is an excellent counter to the way North Wales attack.

Pace ace Chisholm, meanwhile, is likely to get another run against Hemel on Sunday after his recall against the Skolars after five months away.

Said Ford: "Adam's a very safe player under kick pressure and positionally he's outstanding. He's probably been left out unfairly in the past but he's been patient and I'm sure he'll be really solid.

"There were really good signs from Jamel on Sunday and he will probably feature again this weekend but tactically and technically it suits us to go with Adam with how North Wales finish their sets."
