Hill: Shrews can still challenge

Dale currently lead League Two and travel to Shropshire this weekend to face a Shrews side yet to justify their pre-season hype.Paul Simpson's men are hovering just below the play-off zone after being heavily backed as one of the promotion favourites during the summer.Hill told the Rochdale Observer: "Shrewsbury are a good team. I thought they'd be one of the favourites before the season given the financial resources they have at the club."They have the means to recruit high-calibre players to add to a good squad in January. I still think they can be one of the strong favourites for automatic promotion or a play-off place."But we don't play with any fear. We try to instil confidence and a sense of creativity and allow them freedom of expression on the field."
