THIS weekend marks Keith Hill's second anniversary as Rochdale manager - but the Spotland chief will not be dwelling on the team's achievements over the last 24 months.

During his time in charge Hill has turned Dale into one of the strongest sides in League Two, taking in the club's first-ever trip to Wembley in the League Two play-off final last season and all with a talented squad of youngsters.

However, Hill will not be reflecting on the past and insists Dale must continue to look ahead.

"We cannot afford to languish in the past," he said. "Everything we do is geared towards moving forward, all we do is look to the future."

Preparations are in full swing for the weekend's journey south to Exeter when Hill will be without inspirational skipper Gary Jones and striker Lee Thorpe.
