IAN Long hopes ‘Dale’s recent impressive form continues when his side make the long journey to Goole AFC tomorrow in the Evo-Stik Northern Premier League Division One South (KO 15:00).

‘Dale have only lost once this calendar year to date in all competitions and won their last three concecutive league games, conceding just one goal in the process.

And Long wants his Tivi players to continue pushing for points when they travel to the Victoria Pleasure Grounds tomorrow afternoon.

He said “We are on a great run of form and we travel to Goole with an impressive away record all season long. It’s going to be a tough game but we’re playing well and our play has been effective at both ends of the pitch, particularly since Christmas.

“Training was light last night after our game on Tuesday. They are fully prepared and we hope to take another three points. We have some very winnable home games coming up and if we can take points on the road then you never know where we can finish in the table at the end of the season.”
