We have nothing to fear against Rochdale, says Chris Sutton

Chris Sutton insisted his Lincoln City side have nothing to fear as they prepare to derail Rochdale's title bid tomorrow (3pm).

The Imps head to the league leaders as firm underdogs against Keith Hill's outfit, who sit eight points clear at the summit of League Two.

Dale comfortably beat the Imps 3-1 before Christmas with a stunning display of football and the bookies have made them favourites again tomorrow.

But Sutton (pictured) says the Imps can use that to their advantage at Spotland.

"They have two good strikers in Chris Dagnall and Chris O'Grady and they are well organised," he said.

"But there is no reason why, if we are resilient, organised ourselves and disciplined, that we can't take something out the game.

"Bradford went there and got a result and we could do the same.

"And with respect we are playing Rochdale, not Real Madrid."

Lincoln have a number of injury problems for the trip to the north-west.

Adam Watts (broken leg) and Nathan Baker (ankle) are both out, while Lenell John-Lewis (hamstring) and Clark Keltie are also a doubts

"It's not an ideal situation, but what can you do?" said Sutton.

"Unfortunately, it is one of those occurrences.

"We just have to get on with it as best we can because there's no point moaning about it because what good will it do."
