Post-match: Bristol Rovers' Clarke
"For me, we looked like a side that had played two games in 48 hours.
"Especially in the second half, we looked leggy and off the pace.
"The boys gave it a right go and worked hard but Rochdale's fitness levels looked a lot higher than ours.
"I think the 24 hours' rest helped their players, whereas mine looked dead on their feet."
Rochdale manager Keith Hill told 91热爆 Radio Manchester:
Post-match: Rochdale manager Hill
"The performance was superb.
"I'm really pleased with the day, the preparation, the way the players played, I'm really pleased.
"I'm just pleased with the three points but we have won the most games in this league.
"It was just reminding the players of how good we are and how to win football matches and that's what they've done today."
