Hill's Dale have two games in hand over second-placed Bournemouth

Rochdale manager Keith Hill is not worried that his League Two leaders have lost their momentum after losing 3-1 at home to Bradford on Tuesday.

A second defeat in four outings ensured Dale saw their lead over Bournemouth at the top cut to two points.

He told BBC Radio Manchester: "I don't think there'll be a ripple effect.

"The magnitude of the defeat will only be realised after 46 games. I think we'll recover like we've always recovered," he added.

"I think we'll do exceptionally well throughout the course of the rest of the season.

"We've got excellent players. We just came up against a good side in Bradford, a resolute side who came with a game plan to contain us."
