Hill tips Reds to make an impact

SHELDAN KEAY

ROCHDALE manager Keith Hill has heaped praise on John Coleman and expects him to have an extremely successful season with Accrington.

The Reds picked up a 1-0 victory over Hill’s side on Tuesday, and the Dale boss was impressed with what he saw.

“I’ve got a lot of respect for John Coleman and I think Accrington will do really well this year,” he said.

“They have got a really good young squad and they develop players. They’re in your face and it’s a great way to play.

“From an opposition point of view, I don’t think we could have got a better opponent.

“I love a lot of what Stanley are about. They’re honest and they’ve got really good commitment.

“It just shows you that every opposition has a heart-beat and you’ve got to applaud Accrington for that and I’m sure that they will win a lot of games this season.”
