Keith Hill senses promotion is within the grasp of his Rochdale side after holding out for a 0-0 draw at rivals Fleetwood.

Hill's side looked a danger on the break Ian Henderson being denied by the bravery of Chris Maxwell and they came closer after the break with Jamie Allen's overhead kick coming back off the woodwork. Hill believes his side will now be hard to catch. "The game was really important to us," he said. "We've got the points on the board "We've had an excellent season, no matter what happens. "It's time for them this month to let their hair down and enjoy themselves. Let's be honest, we're nine points clear of fourth place with six to play. "The teams behind are going to have to average two a game to catch us. That's a big ask. "They are playing catch up."
