Dave Penney has told his players that the Play-Offs are an opportunity, rather than games to be feared.

He said: "There's not many people within our club who have played at Wembley, so that is an opportunity to be taken. I have and so have Martin Gray and Andy Collett.

"I want the players to have some nerves and butterflies because that will make them play better. We have had a fairly relaxed week. The players have had a couple of days off and seem ready for the challenge.

"Rochdale are a good team away from home and we must make sure that we are switched on and don't get caught.

"But we have a decent home record, and a big crowd and good atmosphere will help our players as we saw at Peterborough last week when we won in front of 10,000."

Rochdale are unbeaten in 10 games and are considered by many to be favourites. They won one of the games between the sides in League Two while the other was drawn.
