Rochdale Assistant Manager Chris Beech felt that Coventry City were the best side to have come to Spotland so far this season.
Beech, whose side beat the Sky Blues 1-0 with a penalty,told BBC Radio Manchester: "It was a really good performance for both sets of players.
"I thought Coventry are probably the best team that have been to Spotland.
"It was a yellow card and fair play to the boys, they dealt with that decision and put the penalty away."
