Keith Hill believes his Rochdale side are two wins away from guaranteeing automatic promotion to Sky Bet League One.

Dale's goalless draw against York ensured a play-off spot at the very least and they now need nine points to make certain of a top-three finish. However, Hill is adamant that six points from the next five games will be enough to escape the Football League's bottom tier. "For me, 81 points gets you promoted," he told the Manchester Evening News. "We have five games to secure six points. "Last season Rotherham were promoted with 76 points and I think the amount of points needed to get you promoted is coming down each year. That's because the quality between the teams in the league is getting closer and closer. "We have done enough to secure a play-off place and that would be success in any other season or circumstance."
