Darlington may be going into Saturday's Coca-Cola Football League 2 Play-Off semi-final 2nd leg clash with the edge over Rochdale but manager Dave Penney is being cautious.

He said: "It's not over, it's not done and dusted because I'm sure they'll fancy their chances at their place.

"Rochdale are very capable of scoring goals so it's up to us to be tight and disciplined to grind out a result next weekend.

"I think we deserved to win because I thought we were the better side, especially in the first half when we could have had a couple more goals.

"I was delighted with the way we were playing. Scott Wiseman had a great chance after great run and then Micky Cummins had a chance to. Instead of placing his shot he should have just blasted it.

"And then Alan White had a good header too but it was a great goal by Jason. We had the momentum then and probably could have done with another one or two goals then.

"But this is a great result for us, it gives us something to build on so we can go away now and try and get another good result."
