Darlington boss Dave Penney is relishing the second leg of his side's play-off semi-final against Rochdale, following his side's 2-1 first-leg home win.

A last-minute Ian Miller header gave Darlo a narrow advantage to take to Spotland, with Penney upbeat about his team's prospects.

He said: "I think we deserved to win really. I think we were the better side on the whole, especially in the first half.

"There's still a long, long way to go.

"Obviously they'll fancy their chances at their place, but it's a great result for us and gives us something to work on, to build on and we can go to Spotland now and try and get another result.

"Rochdale are a good footballing side, they get it down, they get it wide, they work hard and they cause you problems."
