Management Comments:
Justin Edinburgh – “We come home again and look to bounce back, more times than not we have been able to do that this year in the league home or away and we look to do that against another good team in Rochdale who will provide a challenge and be strong opposition.”
Keith Hill – "We haven't got the resources of some clubs in the division but I'm not going to bellyache about that. It's a case of compensating by coming up with the right plan and the right tactics and picking a team to combat the opposition.”
