More of the same, please - Kennedy

IT will be a case of different competition, same approach for Rochdale tonight when they take on Coventry City in the first round of the Capital One Cup.

Full of confidence Dale opened their Sky Bet League One campaign with an impressive 2-0 victory and an even better performance against highly-fancied Peterborough.

And experienced full-back Tom Kennedy reckons Keith Hill’s men will go into the game in exactly the same frame of mind, with a win the ultimate target.

“I don’t think it’s a different mindset for Coventry, “ said Kennedy.

“I think it’s a case of sticking to the same principles, run hard, play for each other, do exactly what the gaffer says in all aspects of the game, and I think if we do that, you’re not going to go far wrong in any game.”

Tonight’s opponents also made a winning start to the league campaign when they beat Wigan Athletic.

Coventry will come to Spotland as favourites
