ROSSENDALE United have clocked up a few miles this week after travelling to Bishop Auckland and Leek.

And they face another long journey tomorrow afternoon when they take on Lincoln United away.

But manager Jim McBride, who has a full squad to choose from, says they will be going all out to earn their second league win of 2003.

"We are going there with a bit of confidence after picking up four points out of our last two games," said McBride.

"And we'll be looking to pick some more points up tomorrow as we try to move up the table.

"But it's going to be a long day."

And he admitted that some away trips can take its toll on his players.

"It can get tiring, especially when they work full-time during the week as well," he said.

"And tomorrow could be tricky because Lincoln United's pitch has a huge slope on it which they play to."

McBride added that he did not know much about Lincoln's style of play, but expected to be an expert on them by 5pm next Saturday, for Lincoln travel to Dark Lane for their second consecutive league clash.

Rossendale could hand a debut to 32-year-old Lee Cooper tomorrow as McBride hoped to sign him from St Helens ahead of the game.
