"Saturday was a brilliant response from the supporters. Everything you could want and the atmosphere does helps, not just with the tempo of the game but everything. It was really good and I've got to say it was a pretty good game as well."

"I think the number of people in here surprised a few of the lads. It had to, you go from 2,000 people on a Tuesday to seven and a half (thousand) on the Saturday.It was pretty also intimidating at times, for both sides and that's what we want it to be like.We want it like that every week. We got the performance and we got the three points.Maybe we should have more goals but you take two because Rochdale are a good side."

"The first goal, even though it came off a deflection, we would take it any day. He could have given up on the ball, but he didn't and got the reward for hard work.It's what he does every week. The second goal was a good goal, pure class from start to finish and I can't say it's what we work on, but we know we have them sort of players who can move the ball around the pitch. The good thing was that we had something at the end of it."

"Tuesday was frustrating but the performance was excellent and I thought it would be a dodgy fixture for us, especially after coming off the back of a good win at home to Rochdale. From one extreme to another but again the players were fantastic, the biggest thing you have to do against Morecambe is compete and we certainly competed with them."

"Once we did compete, we passed it really well.The players who played on Tuesday have played lots of minutes this season, every week they put in an unbelievable effort; I thought energy levels were fantastic in the second half. "

"We had another brilliant away support with 600 there. The fans have been fantastic and you know the good thing is that they appreciate it, they appreciate that you can't win everything but you know as long as the effort is there and you're trying to do everything you possibly can then everybody accepts that, I know I do."

"Elliot took a bit of a knock, and his hamstring was a little tight so we took him.Bish has been struggling with his knee and he had an injection in it on Wednesday, he will definitely be OK for Saturday.Paul Scott's' operation went well, he's at home now, but he's coming to the game on Saturday.Obviously it was a blow to lose him but Steve Haslam has been fantastic.I hope he continues to play as he is. He's a good pro and is excellent in training."

"It's getting really exciting now with ten games to go, and its much better having something to play for with the chance of moving forward and not about what is behind you all the time.It's now a ten game season. To be fair I think we have been excellent, we've lost three out of twelve since 1st January 1st,it's pretty good form."

"Now we have a tough game on Saturday against Lincoln. Any team Peter Jackson is in charge of competes.They did down here at Gigg Lane.It finished 3-1 but it was a really tight game.They have some decent players in their side.N'Guessan is a threat and Elding is a really good player. So it's going to be a tough game. They all are really. It doesn't matter if you're playing top or bottom or middle everybody wants to beat everybody, so we're expecting a difficult encounter. Lincoln lost 5-1 to Grimsby at the weekend, but then they go and beat Wycombe 1-0.That sums this league up."

"Even though it was a 1-5 score line, I don't think the performance was that bad.It was the last eighteen minutes that they conceded quite a few. I've read some of the things Peter Jackson has said and he was disappointed. They are capable of beating anyone as well so it will be a really tough game for us."

"I haven't seen any sign of nerves from the lads.I expected to see some of them nervous on Saturday with the Rochdale game, but there was no sign of it.We moved the ball and played with lots of freedom.I didn't see it at Morecambe on Tuesday, we passed the ball brilliantly
