"The clean sheet pleased me most.

"It was a difficult night but the lads worked extremely hard from Liam up front to the two centre-halves.

"The five in midfield kept a great shape and had a great work ethic especially in the first half.

"But the two centre-halves in particular tonight were awesome and deserved a clean sheet as did John Ruddy who, when called upon, produced a fantastic save.

"Rochdale are a decent outfit and you can see they have a little bit about them but once we got the first goal I always thought we'd always nick another goal on the counter attack, or from a set play, and it was a fantastic finish from Liam Dickinson."
